A little extract from Nick Cowell's "Tactical Periodisation" chapter:

• Balance between recovery & game model coaching
• SSG's (Small-sided Games) offer coaching opportunities while minimizing risks of excess effort (leading to muscle damage)
• Short duration
• Simple Image
#MUFC's dynamic warm-up: approx. 170 metres run to next module station.

9v2 rondo: faster decision-making, more surfaces of both feet used, more wall passes (third man combinations) to play between opponents.

Rondo session of 4 minutes. ImageImageImageImage
Dynamic stretching:

• Hamstring muscles
• Upper leg adductors
• Quadricep muscles
• Acceleration exercises ImageImageImageImage
Goalkeepers' preparation & drink break (1') ImageImage
Final third circuits drill: wall passes (as in the rondos) and as in #MUFC's staggered lines in final 3rd.

• Back to goal, turn & shoot
• Two wall passes
• Box movement (occupation of front, back, middle of goal) from high and low crosses (2v1 overlap in wide areas)
Small-sided game: GK + 10/10 + GK +1 (Fred)

• Smaller pitch:
• Faster decisions
• More actions
• More transitional moments

• Blue half-way line = reference point for high line
• Team in possession +1 (Fred)

• 4-2-3-1 formation ImageImageImageImage
Final module:

• Direct free-kick training
• Pogba box entries from deep
• Some stay late to practice skills ImageImageImage

Tactics are the transfer of coach-to-player knowledge to inform decision-making on the pitch.
Technique is the sport-specific execution of a skill, and ball mastery in general.
Physique is the athletic dimension of the game in speed, strength and endurance.

Liverpool's defensive set-up on wide free-kick

•Expecting inswinger towards far post: staggering first bank + Van Dijk back post
•Zonal defending of 6-yard box and blocking of 3 runners ImageImage
Collective issues within this set-up:

Wary of a Modric shot or far-post cross, Liverpool overload the far post zonally and bring their bank close to their GK.

The central zone is completely undefended, and their full-backs are on opposite sides - a negative for their counters. Image
Individual issues in the set-up:

#43 and #18's body shape is close enough to 45° - they can see the ball, their opponent and can move to block. TAA's body shape is all over the place. He does not see the ball, and can only block Militao if he moves to the far post. ImageImage

This pressing shape can work - but it requires more communication than usual.

A sub-principle of our press is for the CBs to "step out" of their line and follow the striker when they drop (we have done this since pre-season).
To have the ball-near CB engage the CF when dropping, you need to have the ball on that side.

United usually force this by having their wingers curve their press runs from "out-to-in". It forces the ball inside, where the midfield is compact and the CB can step out.
Leicester picked up on a weakness in this shape.

If the winger (LW in this case) doesn't screen the pass from CB➡️RB well, it allows the opposition down the outside.
As @TalkinTactics points out, the FB following the opposition FB causes problems when play is built outside.

THREAD: Analysis of Manchester United's gameplan versus Leicester City and the half-time changes made by Erik ten Hag and his analysts that won the game:
TEAM SELECTION:

• Martinez-Lindelof CB partnership (ball progression + carrying + high line)
• Fred-Sabitzer-Weghorst midfield (intensity + long ball target)
• Rashford #9 (scoring threat and creation of depth)
• Weghorst #10 (long ball target + hold-up play)
FIRST HALF:

In the words of Erik ten Hag, a rubbish half, which entailed plenty of individual, group-related and collective mistakes on the technical and tactical levels.

I'll delve into the many mistakes of the 1st half before explaining the in-game changes that fixed them.

THREAD: How Erik ten Hag's Manchester United planned to beat Manchester City at Old Trafford

Key points of the GAMEPLAN of #MUFC in GW 18 of their Premier League season.
Starting XI choices:

-Malacia at LB gave extra intensity to wide 1v1s and security in deep build-up (1st phase)
-Fred-Casemiro pivot gave 2nd ball prowess & intensity in duels
-Rashford & Bruno wide gave transitional threat
-Martial offered technical security up front
Proactive Pressing in mid-block:

-Medium block with proactive pressing
-Martial & Eriksen cover shadow Rodri
-Wingers Rashford & Bruno closed central access to #MCI's #8's
-Ball forced wide to FBs
-Fred man-marking KDB's runs into the channel
-Ball-near CB follows CF

(Long) Thread: Analysis of every goal conceded by Manchester United in the 2022/23 season.

I'm going to pick apart every detail of the goals #MUFC concede below. I will try to offer my insight and highlight/sample systemic faults on a team-tactical or individual level.
Some considerations before we dig deeper:
-My aim is to deliver my insight into what happens and for what reason
-My aim is not to single out players positively or negatively
-The process of analysis is one where POVs come together to find a solution - feel free to argue!
1) #BHA (H) 29'19"

The goal starts from United's goal-kick. De Gea signals Maguire to open the pitch but then opts for the long ball - which doesn't follow Ten Hag's principles as Maguire is open to progress down the right.
