Burnley gave Dyche £21m (net) to spend since the start of the summer 2017 transfer window. Investment in the squad was chronically low,yet he kept them in the PL for 6 seasons & even qualified for Europa League. His miraculous overachievement will go down in the PL history books.

Sadio Mané developed at Southampton as a 2nd striker with Graziano Pellè.He took LFC into the top 4 as a right winger. Salah arrived so he won the Premier League & Champions League as a left winger. He’s now spearheading their quadruple charge as a false 9. Premier League legend.

Forecasting the system that won Pep his treble 5 months before he implemented it on a full-time basis, with Akanji’s passing key for the Champions League winning goal. That’s the peak. It might be time for retirement from this app.
Manuel Akanji in at Man City? Not the cleanest defender but his passing range is top. Maybe Pep really is looking at using the 3-2-2-3 (3-box midfield-3) he used in the 2nd half vs Palace regularly.That system has a high burden on the CBs being top class at constructing build-up.

Tuchel’s hybrid 4-2-2-2/3-4-3 overloaded Conte’s midfield two. Conte then mirrored Tuchel’s on-ball shape with 4-4-2 & created the same midfield overloads that Chelsea caused them.Then Tuchel flipped to a standard 3-4-3 to bring more width vs Spurs’ back 4.Unreal tactical battle.

Arsenal’s high press suffocated Liverpool’s central build-up in the 1st half. Liverpool were struggling.
