Free live class tomorrow, 1.30pm UK: Brighton 3-0 Arsenal.

Hürzeler kept saying it was the basics. "We did the basics right and we were brilliant in the duels." Arteta agreed with him. So that's where we're starting, with the duel count, before we get into the man-to-man press, Raya's dead balls, Groß running the press from behind the ball, and how fast Brighton found their reference points every time Arsenal moved.

Free for everyone, bring your questions. Recording goes into the library afterwards for subscribers.

Hi Daniel, glad you like them. 👍🏻

Pull, Pick and Progress is some of the language we use to give players clear principles when playing out.

Pull the opposition out by using the correct shape to manipulate their pressing strategy and create space.

Pick out the free player created from that movement.

Progress by playing through, around or over the opposition.The idea is to give players simple language that helps them recognise what the opposition are doing, find the solution and then execute it, rather than prescribing exactly how they have to play out every time.

Hope that helps. 👌🏻

Commented on New Collection: Three v Three with Pe...

Hi Alex, great question and something we’re definitely looking at. 👍🏻

For the first round of collections, the main focus will be on 1v1, 2v1, 2v2, 3v2 and 3v3 scenarios, followed by a range of variable games that expose players to different pictures and problems. Some of those variable practices will naturally include the types of underloaded situations you’re talking about.In terms of specific 1v2 and 2v3 collections, they won’t be added in this first release, but we’re big believers in exposing players to those situations. We see the ability to deal with being outnumbered as a really important part of individual player development, both in and out of possession.We actually have 100+ underloaded practices within our wider library, so dedicated work around those scenarios is already in the pipeline for further down the line.

Hope that helps, Alex.

What are your players looking for before the ball arrives?

We’ve turned some of our general coaching discussions and practices into a few thoughts for our latest blog on scanning in football.

Michael, from Tactx, talks through our simple approach - see the ball, see the danger, see the next move and how to help players build that habit in training.

We’ve also included three practices from our Individual – Mastering the Game collection for you to try with your players.

📖 Have a read here

We’d love to hear what works for you. Do you have a favourite practice or cue that gets your players looking around before they receive? 👇

Hi everyone,

We’re putting the finishing touches to our Attacking Transition collections, with the remaining Retain practices coming soon. Here’s where each collection stands:

Core Practices — complete. Technical, skill and game practices covering both the Risk and Retain models, with options for 4–20 players.
Risk Practices — complete. 20 practices to help you coach quick counter-attacks after winning possession, suitable for all levels.
Retain Practices — nearing completion. 14 practices are already in the library, with the final additions being prepared to help you coach keeping possession after winning the ball.

Our 3v3 collection now has 16 practices, with more being added day by day.

There’s no tactical analysis this week, as we’re in London for a couple of meetings focused on improving the Tactx platform.

We’ve also had an exciting opportunity away from the training ground. David was invited by Manchester City to film with Iliman Ndiaye and goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli, interviewing them about their journeys from non-league football to the Premier League. Keep an eye on Man City’s website for the finished feature.

Thanks for your continued support. We look forward to sharing the latest additions with you!

The Tactx Team
