Why 4-3-3 WON’T WORK for United during AFCON 🔴 AFCON hasn’t started yet, but the problem is already clear. With no Amad and no Mbeumo available, defaulting to a 4-3-3 would be a mistake waiting to happen. That system relies on natural winger profiles to stretch the pitch -... and United simply won’t have them during this period. Forcing width that isn’t there only leads to isolation up top and attacks that die on the touchline. ❌📉 A more logical solution is structural: move to a 4-3-2-1 that can easily become a 4-4-2 diamond in possession. Stay narrow, overload the half-spaces, and control games centrally rather than pretending wide threats exist. 🔺🧠 Width should come from the full-backs. Dorgu and Dalot pushing high gives the team stretch without sacrificing central connections 🚀📐 Mount or Bruno operating as a 10 becomes the link … receiving between the lines, dictating tempo, and connecting midfield to attack 🎯 And crucially, Cunha alongside Šeško. No isolation, constant pressure on centre-backs, more second balls, more presence in the box 👥🔥 #mufc #manchesterunited #africancupofnationsshow more

There has been a misconception online that we have switched to a 4-2-3-1 in the last two games. That’s not true. It’s the same 4-3-3 and 4-5-1 we have played all season. Woltemade is playing LCM. My thinking as to why it seems we aren’t is because of the freedom Eddie offers our players within the structure. Woltemade is allowed to move and receive between the lines, just like Willock (when he plays LCM) is allowed to hold width and use his pace in wide areas.

🔴 Dimitar Berbatov chooses between Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Šeško for the striker role in big games 🇧🇬🗣️ 🗣️ “Sesko is really good and does a lot of work. But for me, United need a winger and push Cunha to play that role with Sesko. 🗣️ Cunha shouldn't be playing on the wing he’s a Harry Kane-type of striker who drops deep to link up the play, so I'd love to see him used centrally in that attack." Between Benjamin Šeško and Matheus Cunha, who would you choose to lead the line as Manchester United’s No. 9 in the biggest games? 🔴⚪️

What is the BEST FORMATION in EA FC 25? 🤔 We can’t deny it, the 4-4-1-1 and the 4-2-1-3 are the best formations in the game. Although it seems like they’re very similar, there are some differences. The 4-2-1-3 is destined to be used by players that are more defensive and like to play more counter football. The CDM’s are a lock on the door and the LW & RW that stay upfront give you the opportunity to counter fast! 🤫 On the other side for the more attacking players, the 4-4-1-1 offers you two CM’s that can help you out creating chances in the final third.

As requested by Alex Miller yesterday, a look at our out of possession shape in the first half. 1: (10 secs) - Wednesday in a very narrow high block in a 523 out of possession. It only looked like this when the ball is central. Nowrich rotate (change positions during play) a lot and this narrow block denies central rotation. In this clip, they have had rotation in left back position as the CM has dropped into the area and left back on the last line. 2: 20 secs - When the ball went wide or started to move wide, the full back would advance up the pitch to pressure the full back and press full back to full back, whilst the CBs would come out with the Norwich forwards coming in between the lines, as this ball transitions across the pitch you see Sargent come out and Iorfa following tight. Fusire in this clip has come out to mark full back to full back and creating a makeshift back 4. 3: 47 secs - Wednesday get back into their narrow block shape 4: 56 secs - rotation from the front line form Norwich 5: 58 seconds, Palmer comes out of the back line to pick up the rotation and prevent space between lines. As the player turns to our left, Amass starts to come out to pick up full back to full back on the other side. In summary, Wednesday played their familiar 523 blocking shape out of possession but it was much more proactive in the back 5 than we usually see it, with full backs and Cbs following rotations and stepping out of the backline to prevent space between lines. It worked, first half. Norwich combated it a little better second half. Will get a clip out tomorrow of what they did

Ferris State HC Tony Annese - Offensive Philosophy - Have a system built to attack every defense. 4-2-5, 4-3, 3-4, 3-3 Stack, etc. Have a built-in game plan to attack every defensive system. - Adaptability and flexibility is essential to have a good offense. Do not always let down and distance own you. - Win first down and you will win the game. Stay ahead of the chains. - Stay a step ahead of the opponents' defensive game plan. Play selection & the construction of the system is based on "take what the defense gives us". That means develop a system that identifies & attacks the vulnerabilities of a given defense.

Pressing, transitions and goals in Canada! After the hiring of Jesse Marsch this week by Canada Soccer , there has been lots of talk about pressing and transitions in the football community. This is THE style of play that we have used for the last 5 years with Alliance United FC in @L1OMens and will give you some insight in how this can look. We went away from the 'possession' based 1-4-3-3 that everyone has been using as the 'best way' to develop players and win games. Many say this is the 'right way' of playing. However, we use the players' abilities and inabilities as the starting point and based on players produced in Canada, within our youth system, this is the way we think will get us the best results and help our players get to the next level. You need to understand youth development in our country to understand what is and what is not being taught to young players. This is not a negative outlook, it is just looking at the reality. Many mistake this style of play as just non-stop pressing and chaos. Yes, these two aspects are important but it is a much more deliberate and planned way of playing that is used to predict where the opposition will play the ball, where the ball can be dictated and what areas the opposition leave open for transitions when they attack. In 2019, I was introduced to Ernst Tanner former Academy Director of Red Bull Salzburg and current Philadelphia Union Sporting Director that has led the club to being one of the top clubs in MLS and arguably the best academies in North America the last few years. Both organisations are known for their pressing and fast transitions in addition to producing top players. He became a mentor to me and gave me insights and education on this style of play. He has changed the way I look at football. Every season we try to recruit players that can play this style that I will describe below and we do not waiver in the way we played. Every game since 2019 Alliance United FC have played either in a 1-4-2-2-2 or a 1-4-4-2 midfield diamond....every game. We have no secrets in how we play. We focus on defending, pressing, forcing teams into mistakes and transition football. It is important to understand that we do not care how much possession we have and we actually want the opposition to have the ball most of the time. Stats in football show that only when a team has the ball 70% or more in a match their is a correlation to winning. Anything less is not correlated to winning in a certain match. In addition, 80% of goals are scored under 5 passes or less and under 10 seconds when regaining possession. We follow the trend! So, here are some important points based on the video: a) Pressing higher up the pitch when possible. All 11 players are committed to the team intention (principles) and if anybody is not committed and does not contribute to this style of play, they do not play. There is no leeway on this. Either you are in 100% in or you are not. All it takes is one player to not commit and the plan will not work. If we do not win the ball on the high press, everyone is to drop behind the ball as fast as possible to restart the press closer to our goal. b) Based on the opponent's scouting we press certain players and decide if will press closer to the sideline and 'pin' the player to the sideline or we dictate the passes and dribbles centrally and 'surround' the player to win the ball in central positions. We also decide if we will sometimes drop lower for the opposition to advance so we can play behind them when winning the ball. This is done if we scout that the opposition centre-backs are slower than our two strikers. This means we will 'outrun' them in the space they leave behind. c) When winning the ball we want to exploit space behind their backline as the priority which means that a player(s) need to be passing options behind the backline and preferably centrally which is closer to the goal, players winning the ball has to look to play the ball to the player furthest up the pitch. Possession is not a priority but scoring goals as fast as possible is. d) When winning the ball we stay as central as possible with passes and dribbling. We use the width of the penalty area (44 yards) as the preferable dimension when transitioning. We want to stay within this width. The wider the team plays the ball, the more time the opposition has to block the middle. PLAY AS VERTICALLY AS POSSIBLE! The emphasis is to get the ball to the two strikers and play 1v1 against the CBs. e) We know that most youth players grow up playing against a 1-4-3-3 which means there is one central striker meaning the centre-backs one back press and one can cover. Against 2 strikers this is not possible and many centre-backs do not have the ability to play 1v1 with space behind them. They are not taught the cues to step and press or drop to protect space behind them. They are never taught at youth level. We exploit this deficiency. e) All 11 players must get up the pitch to close the spaces if we lose the ball from our attacking transition so the opposition cannot transition against us and we can counter-press. f) A goal is the best outcome based on the objective of attacking but at the minimum we want to get a shot on goal from a transition. This is a quick overview of a different way of playing football that Canada will see with the Men's National Team.

Florida got a big spark and much needed contribution from second year guard Urban Klavzar Klavzar produced 15 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists off the bench and also pitched in 4 3's on 4/7 shooting from deep Hit a huge 3 vs FSU to win that game, playing with a lot of confidence as of late, after playing with zero confidence to begin the year. Needs to be more consistent but can be a nice piece for the Gators this year.

🧠 Sunderland Masters of TIMING Not Domination? Deep dive for Sky Sports on a side that masters moments of opportunity rather than volume. They’re tactical shapeshifters: • 🟥 Vs big teams: 5-4-1 - low risk, compact, initiative management • ⚖️ Game in equilibrium: 4-3-3 • 🔥 Chasing the game: 3-4-3, hell-for-leather The Sadiki–Xhaka midfield axis won’t wow you on ball retention metrics, but they're the hardest working midfield in the league and very progressive when the time is right. This is a team built on understanding when to press the accelerator. Big thanks to Dougie Critchley and Pazza for their insights. Apologies for the quality of the footage, wasn't able to record this live so got it second hand but hopefully you get the gist of the points made! #SAFC

Sense of Urgency In Season vs Off Season During the offseason in development, coaches can be a lot more patient with players as they continue to grow in different areas. In Season however, at high school and above, it’s winning time. There is much more of a sense of urgency for players to produce in games. The season is usually a rollercoaster and parents/players need to understand that playing time and minutes may fluctuate based on team needs (especially if you’re not the top 2 or 3 players on a teams.

Never seen such a disconnect between the economists who track where rates go, and the market assumptions… Another City economist predicting the next move is DOWN later this year… market implied expectations of 2-3 RAISES this year (4 yesterday morning) … clearly this is impacting mortgage market. From the Governor’s interview on Thursday it seemed clear to me that “hold” meant “hold” and he specifically said “There is no question in my mind, that the best and most appropriate solution to this problem is not monetary policy, is to reopen the Strait of Hormuz,”

$Just watched some in-possession bits from Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough, and although plenty of great accounts on here have already broken down how they set up with the ball, I thought I’d also share a few thoughts of my own. There’s been a lot of talk about their structure and the methodical, sometimes slow, nature of their build-up, and I largely agree with that. It isn’t rigid; players aren’t locked into zones at all times, but there is a clear recurring picture. The left back holding width, the right back tucking inside, the 3-2 base in build up. That structure is very evident, but I'm not going to talk about that. What really caught my eye was the intention to change rhythms across all three thirds. The slow circulation mentioned can very quickly turn into sharp vertical play or quick combinations, often without warning. The centre backs, along with one of the central midfielders, seem key to this in deeper areas. They are often the ones responsible for accelerating the game during a passing sequence, whether through sudden carries, changes of direction, switches of play, or simply finding a brave pass through the press. In the middle third, the use of a staggered midfield and central overloads allows players to operate on diagonal angles to find and link passes, and when you add the constant movement from the wingers and the attacking midfielder, it regularly sets the stage for UBTs or third man combos\runs, creates the conditions for these tempo shifts. In the final third, similar principles apply, especially in wide areas where triangles are formed to facilitate combinations. Wingers and fullbacks are clearly encouraged to take on their man in 1v1s, and pass and move sequences are used to increase the tempo. While a lot of this play happens out wide, targeting central zones through diagonals or cut backs is also a recurring feature. On the downside, and although I felt the players always seem to be on the lookout for opportunities to increase the tempo during these passing sequences, it sometimes feels like they wait a bit too long before executing a quick action. That hesitation is, in my opinion, what gave their build-up its “slow” reputation.$

My in depth explanation for why I gave Jabari Smith a B- on the season: I want to start by saying Jabari improved tremendously at attacking closeouts and scoring inside the arc. Those improvements just don’t mean as much to me when he is now in year 4 and is still not a top-3 defender on the team, and he is debatably a top-3 shooter on the team, but that doesn’t say much because our roster is notably bad at shooting 3’s. It’s even more problematic for me because Jabari’s shot diet from 3 (per is 85% open or wide open threes, which he takes almost exclusively off the catch. Shooting just league average from 3 on that shot diet for THIS Rockets team does not work for me. If Jabari is going to be a mainstay on a team built around Amen Thompson and Alperen Şengün, I NEED him to increase his volume on threes, his 3P%, and continue to grow as a defender. Full podcast for every player grade:

It’s even more problematic for me because Jabari’s shot diet from 3 (per is 85% open or wide open threes, which he takes almost exclusively off the catch. Shooting just league average from 3 on that shot diet for THIS Rockets team does not work for me. If Jabari is going to be a mainstay on a team built around Amen Thompson and Alperen Şengün, I NEED him to increase his volume on threes, his 3P%, and continue to grow as a defender.

🚨🎙️| Fabrizio Romano on why Casemiro reportedly preferred Bruno Guimarães over Sandro Tonali as his replacement at Manchester United: 🗣️ “Casemiro’s view was that Bruno Guimarães would be the more natural fit for Manchester United’s midfield.” “He believes Bruno has the Premier League experience, physicality and personality to handle the pressure of playing for United immediately.” “There’s also the Brazilian connection and a feeling that Bruno Guimarães has the leadership qualities needed in that dressing room.” “Tonali is a top midfielder technically, but there were concerns internally about adaptation and whether he would bring the same intensity and authority in Premier League matches.” “Casemiro reportedly felt Bruno Guimarães could control games, raise the energy of the midfield and become a leader very quickly at Old Trafford. The feeling was that Tonali is excellent, but Bruno Guimarães looks more built for Manchester United”. {Fabrizio Romano }

Kaizer Chiefs vs AS Simba | Playing From Control ⚽️🔥 This sequence captures what it means to play with control — patience on the ball, purposeful movement, clarity in possession, and always waiting for the right moment to break the lines. Even at 3–0 up, the team managed the game intelligently, shifting Simba’s block and creating space through quality circulation and good passing decisions. What stands out just as much is the work out of possession — the willingness to recover, close spaces, and press with intent. The awareness and collective reaction in difficult moments showed growth. A positive mentality from the team. The 4-2-3-1 system is clearly bringing balance: control in midfield, better defensive structure with better recoveries, and the ability to build and create. Now it’s about refining those attacking patterns so they consistently lead to goals. The progress is evident — and the signs are very positive, but we should build from this team and performance instead of breaking it with unnecessary changes. ❤️✌🏾

Few final CFP thoughts on CFB Live: 1. When multiple teams deserve a spot, why is Week 2 valued more than an entire body of work? FSU should have been in over TEXAS, not Alabama. 2. The ONE criteria from the committee that a team CANNOT control is injuries. You control wins, head to head, who you schedule, winning your conference. FSU controlled EVERYTHING they could. Bama didn’t. UGA didn’t. Texas didn’t. Yet the committee chose to value an uncontrollable factor more than a team that delivered on everything that was presented before them? 3. The best teams find a way to win, no matter what. That’s why they deserve to be in. The best and most deserving team is way more similar than yall think.

🚨JUST IN: The IDF release an alleged recording of a Gaza Energy Official admitting Hamas: 1. Have significant fuel reserves, and not supplying enough to the hospitals 2. Still control Gaza 3. Have half a million liters of fuel underground 4. Have oxygen, phones, showers and lighting in the tunnels, and therefore need the fuel for operating there "The terrible thing is that even if all the people will die, and even if Israel will kill 10,000 people per day, it won't matter to Hamas and they don't care. What is important to them is to stay in power." Source: IDF
