Questions and answers from Jon that we couldn't fit into the webinar...

1)"Do you think a misconception of Positional play is that it aims to control through possession where primarily control in football is actually control of space which Positional play tries to optimise"

I agree that people tend to downplay space in the modern discourse. Football is always about controlling space in some sense - there is no football that isn't spatial. But as I said, I think the pos/rel debate is set up as a dichotomy between "space" and "relation" when really the point that the relationists should be making is that they take a very different view of the relationships between players than other coaches. Both Guardiola and Diniz (to use a concrete example) care about space and the relations between their players. But they conceive of them very differently.

Elliott Bentley That is now in your library.

Alex Gaspar that's in your library now. 👍🏻

Great question, Daniel. We use the same language, but ensure the 6s work together and understand why and when to use each one — very similar to how the 8s operate off a single 6. Hopefully that’s makes sense?

Thank you for the feedback, Daniel. Yes, there is, and we will be adding it throughout the year. It is focused on Scan, Shift and Secure.

Morning Mark, really glad you are enjoying the content. Yes, I will upload them later today and let you know when they are up.

Hi Chris,

Yes this is dropped into annual subscribers libraries at the end of the free trial period.

Hi Daniel. 

It depends on a lot of factors. If you are developoing players, all three should be introduced, and as a coach it's finding the right time to work on each with your game and training schedule. 

At a first team level there are three factors. What are your beliefs/principles, what suits the players you have and what could work against the opposition. 

Happy to jump on a call if you want to discuss further. Drop us a DM 👍

Hi,

Thanks for joining and welcome to Tactx.

This is now in library. Apologies, a small bug in the system at our end. 

Glad to hear it!
