Technical Practice 4 is live for subscribers, looking at patterns when playing with a back three and wing-backs.

Available for subscribers now 👇

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.

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.

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!
