Thread: Eddie Howe penetrates Pep Guardiola's tactical scheme

Each tactical approach has pros and cons when you determine to apply it, a lot of people praised Guardiola's ideas in the build-up phase, especially with the 2-3-5 shape.

Thread: Reasons why Barcelona struggled against Rayo Vallecano with Iraola tactics.

Andoni Iraola was one of my favourite coaches last season, due to his variety and solid tactics, especially in counter-pressing and medium press.

Let's see 👇
-Iraola relied on 4-4-2 flat, with medium pressing, every option to pass in Barcelona build-up marked by a player from Rayo.
-2 vs 1, the situation which happened when Gavi, received the ball, repeated a lot in the middle third, with well-positioned from Rayo players and cover the passing options

Continuing on the theme of #Journeys, today we're taking a look at the former Weston, Clevedon & Portishead railway.

When Brunel built the broad gauge railway from Bristol towards Exeter the route by-passed these 3 towns as the diversion would not have been worthwhile. 1/ Map showing the route of the WC&P railway (Credit WC&PR)
When this main line was opened in 1841, at the same time a broad gauge branch line was also opened to Weston.
Trains on the Weston branch were horse-drawn until 1848 when steam was used. 2/
A branch line to Clevedon from a junction at Yatton was opened in 1847 still as part of the Bristol & Exeter Railway.
In 1867 the Bristol & Portishead Pier & Railway opened a branch line from Bedminster to Portishead, which was operated by the Bristol & Exeter Railway. 3/ 1885 OS map showing the Yatton to Clevedon branch line1885 OS map showing the Portishead to Bedminster branch line
