Spurs vs PSG Thread!

Thomas Frank set his team up in a 3-5-2/5-3-2, but rather than sitting back, he pressed PSG man to man and gave his team their best chance of winning. Lack of depth and quality cost them at the end, but a top performance nontheless.

Lets talk tactics: Image PSG ended up going long a few times during the match, which is quite uncharacteristic of them.

We all know Enrique's team as one that likes playing out from the back and playing through the team.

Well, let's look at why this happened! Image

PSG vs Liverpool:

PSG, one of the best teams I've seen this season, the fluidity, rotations, they had it all. Meanwhile, LFC's defensive approach didn't really work until a small tweak in the second half.

Let's talk tactics: Image PSG were predominantly in a 3-2-5 in possession with Mendes forming a back 3 and Vitinha/Neves as the double pivot.

They had a player high and wide on each side, with 3 players between the lines.

LFC defended in a 4-2-4 shape, something we've seen a lot of this season. Image

Manchester City vs Liverpool

Tactical Analysis

Thread! LFC lined up in a 4-2-2-2 with double 10s Szoboszlai and Jones.

The aim was to use Gravenberch/Mac Allister as decoys at times to open up the direct pass to the 10s.

LFC were really direct and vertical and looked at switching play/attacking the backline after the initial pass. Image

JUVENTUS VS CHELSEA: TACTICAL ANALYSIS THREAD: TUCHEL OUTCLASSED? Chelsea went with their favored 3-4-2-1 whereas Allegri went with his classic 4-4-2 in the UCL. Tuchel had switched back to a 3-4-2-1 with two inside forwards rather than the 3-5-2 that led to the loss against City.

BRENTFORD VS LIVERPOOL: BRENTFORD ANALYSIS THREAD: Brentford tend to use the 3-5-2 which has been their shape all season. Really well balanced team that presses high, can also block space in a solid and compact 5-3-2 shape.
