New Collection: Arteta & Arsenal | Midfield 3v2 vs Chelsea 🔍

Following on from our Chelsea live class, this collection looks at how Arsenal created and exploited the midfield 3v2 against Chelsea under Arteta.

If you watched the class and want to go deeper into the tactical detail from the Arsenal side of the game, this is the natural next step. The collection ties directly into the themes we covered and gives you a closer look at how Arsenal set up to create overloads and exploit the spaces that Chelsea's structure was leaving.

The article is free for everyone to read. The class itself is available for Tactx subscribers

Any questions, drop them below 

Live class tomorrow at 10am UK time. This one is open to everyone, so pass it on to anyone who would find it useful.

We are going through Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea properly. The midfield 3v2 Arsenal built, why James and Lavia could not pick up a reference point, what Calafiori did by stepping inside, Acheampong's position as he advanced, and how Arsenal set themselves up to counter into that space, and where Chelsea's build-up came unstuck against the press.

Come with questions. That is usually where the best bits come from.

We are back next week with live videos and discussion.

Is it possible to download select videos? Would like to utilize a few videos in PowerPoint for team game day preparation. Specifically the 3-4-3 High Pressing videos

You mentioned in passing during your Spain analysis that there are 5 pressing set ups for a 2 pressing against a 3. Have you made a video on that anywhere in your sessions? Would be very helpful
