🆕 Fresh analysis! 🙌

Marcus Thuram, son of Lilian, is firing Borussia Mönchengladbach’s challenge for Champions League qualification. We assess his rise 👇

coachesvoice.com/marcus-thuram-…
Thuram holds his position well and does not always get drawn towards play, instead taking up a position that makes it difficult for defenders to see both him and the ball. Then, when a chance presents itself, Thuram springs into action and sprints in behind #Thuram Image
Thuram is adept at swiftly flicking the ball into that gap with a cleverly disguised and extremely quick movement. He then continues his run in the opposite direction and draws defenders with what is essentially a dummy run. Doing this can create space in tight areas #Thuram Image
Thuram often has the element of surprise on his side, so it perhaps makes sense that the majority of his goals are scored off one touch and after he has ghosted into a position in the box on the blindside of his opponent Image
Thuram is both a goalscorer and a creator rolled into one; he is Gladbach’s joint-top scorer in 2019/20 and ranks in the top 10 in the entire Bundesliga for assists. He makes the majority of his appearances on the left side of the attacking midfield three in their 4-2-3-1 #Thuram Image

New tactical analysis thread 🧵

Our UEFA-licensed coaches have analysed the tactics from yesterday's dramatic heavyweight fixture at the Etihad... 🌶️🧐

🔋 @Wyscout

#MCFC • #Arsenal

bit.ly/3MXapKO
Manchester City’s 4-3-3 started on the front foot as Arsenal initially attempted to press into the host’s half, in a 4-4-2 shape. Arsenal went player-oriented in the wide areas, with Declan Rice and Thomas Partey tracking Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gündogan’s forward runs. However, Silva’s wide runs to City’s right-side created space for Savinho to drive inside, penetrating against the aggressive jumping of Arsenal’s left-back, Calafiori. This helped disrupt and stretch Arsenal’s back line in the early stages, including when Haaland was slid in-behind to calmly open the scoring... 🧐🧵Image
It wasn’t long before Arsenal formed a low block, while City responded with a 3-1-5-1 shape. Josko Gvardiol moved into a left-side number eight role from full-back, with Gündogan as the central option underneath Haaland. Rodri – soon to be replaced by Kovacic – acted as the single pivot. Still, it was City’s right side that proved most potent, with Silva’s wider positioning supporting Savinho’s direct movements and dribbles against Calafiori... 🧐🧵Image

Thread 🧵

The key points of a 4-2-3-1... 4️⃣2️⃣3️⃣1️⃣🧐
Stemming from tweaks to the 4-4-2 formation, and initially most popular in Spain, the 4-2-3-1 grew in popularity from the 2000s onwards. It has since been used with success by many prominent coaches, including Pep Guardiola, Arne Slot and Erik ten Hag... 4️⃣2️⃣3️⃣1️⃣🧵
Central protection...

The 4-2-3-1 requires defensive midfielders who can duel, tackle and intercept in individual battles. These midfielders must be alert enough to land on any second balls. They must have good acceleration and deceleration to help with this... 4️⃣2️⃣3️⃣1️⃣🧵 Image

Fresh analysis thread 🙌

How Spain and Germany’s changes in attack cancelled each other out in an intriguing tactical battle between Luis Enrique and Hansi Flick... 🧐🧵

🔋 @Wyscout

#ESP • #GER
Spain used a 4-3-3 structure and built play patiently from the back, despite Germany pressing aggressively from their 4-2-3-1. They moved the ball around the back line to isolate Thomas Müller, before a centre-back stepped out with the ball into midfield... 🧐🧵 Image
Olmo continued to move inside and Asensio dropped deep, in the process pulling Süle out of his position in Germany’s back line. This helped Spain to build out from the back and get around Germany’s increasingly effective high press... 🧐🧵 Image

Thread 🧵

Inverted full-backs explained... ↩️🧐
Traditionally, full-backs are the widest players in a back four, and as a result they attack and defend mostly in the wide areas. However, full-backs who move inside into central spaces are known as ‘inverted full-backs’. This movement adds an extra presence centrally... ↩️🧐 Image
Although Pep Guardiola is the coach most associated with the inverted full-back, Johan Cruyff used them with Barcelona many years before. Then, he often converted the 4-3-3 into a 3-4-3 diamond, with one full-back inverting into central midfield... ↩️🧐 Image

How Manchester United's midfield movements and Bruno Fernandes’ central influence helped them beat Tottenham to go fifth... 🧐🧵

🔋 @Wyscout

#MUFC • #MUNTOT
Manchester United were set up in a 4-2-3-1 shape, but Fred pushed forward from the double pivot to become a number 8 and give them a stronger attacking presence in central midfield. Bruno Fernandes then adapted his positioning, moving into the left inside channel... 🧐🧵 Image
The hosts eventually pushed both full-backs higher, primarily working around the outside of Tottenham’s wing-backs. United’s wingers then came inside, with the freedom to rotate with Fred and Fernandes, as long as both inside channels were always occupied... 🧐🧵 Image
