Creativity for me is not creating chances. Creativity is the ingenuity, instinct to do something different no one expects. This is creativity and there needs to be more acceptance of it in football because modern day coaching has killed so much of this for the last 15 years.

There is a very valid argument to say Son is a top 5 finisher of all time. In terms of quality, variety, consistency. He is a complete cheat code, Spurs need to do everything they can to make sure he’s having 5+ shots a game.

Sanchos decision to leave England is a damming indictment for England player development. Sancho has had plenty under par performances for Dortmund but you wouldn’t know. If he was in England, they’d kill him before he started. Any form of drop off in form over here, chastised

Chelsea are not that far away from being a team that can really challenge. People are far too reactionary. There’s so much to the makeup of the squad to really like. They probably just lack a couple of ‘cheat codes’ that can secure the results in both boxes.

Spurs leave their defenders isolated. It’s the risk they take, and by and large they can cope with it. They would find it easier if the ball was able to remain in the final 3rd. But Werner, Son, Richy etc can’t play pass and move football. So in turn, what happens 1/

There’s not a single angle or position that Gusto can’t move into or from when he receives wide on both sides. He can twist and turn with a full radius, off both feet. So important as it makes it very difficult to lock him into an area to press. Brilliant ball mastery.

Spurs will get there under Ange im convinced, but it shows why the attack needs so much work. It just can’t sustain attacks or periods of possession in the final 3rd for any prolonged periods of time whilst still being a threat. It’s why Nusa AND an Olise profile have to come in

If both these teams play to how they want, it’s a riskless low scoring affair. It’s two managers who want complete control of affairs and reduce as many things leading to chance as possible. Just because they’re two excellent teams, doesn’t mean it’ll be an excellent spectacle

The culture is what stops England from winning the major trophies. When it comes to the crunch. The best teams in the big games, Englands nature is to hold back. Be reserved. When actually, in those moments, you need to let the talent grab the game. They won’t allow that

The coaching from Ange and his staff is exceptional. They miss key profiles of players. Eg, the quick combination play on the edge of the box, Spurs probably don’t have a single forward out of Son, Kulu, Johnson (he’s the best), Werner, Richy who excel at that.

Often, the best judge of players, is players themselves. If you speak to anyone who has played with, or against Connor Gallagher, Im very confident they will tell you how good and effective he is and how important he is for their team. He covers team mates and makes them better

Spurs have a major issue against organised blocks. But I don’t think it’s a coaching issue, I believe it’s a mindset thing. As my thread showed, so many players first instinct is to be secure and safe first, rather than positive. So tough to open blocks like that

Spurs need to do all they can to get Bissouma confidence and form back to what it was. It helps open teams up so much because when he’s at his best, he’s so creative in how he evades pressure, it can bypass several opposition players at once in one piece of play.

This is beautiful. Theres a consensus amongst many fans that footballers don’t give a shit about anything other than their pay packet, or that they’re not allowed to be human due to their wealth. I can assure you, 99.99% of footballers care deeply about the game and what they do

I know someone who worked at Chelsea. He said that Mourinho vehemently coaches attack and is the best coach he’s ever seen in terms of on pitch work. Make of that what you will

Real Madrid are more than happy to have Rudiger deal with Haaland on his own at times. Shows how Rudiger is still the best duel CB in the world and the best dealing with open space, transitions and defensive under loads. And shows Madrid don’t fear Haaland being one dimensional

Look at the makeup of their squad. Nkunku, Palmer, Colwill, Fernandez, Caicedo, James, Sterling, Gallagher, Gusto, I could go on. And some great youngsters. So much of it is a managers dream.

Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Alaba; Valverde, Camavinga; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vini Jnr; Mbappe Endrick to get tangible minutes until he can rightfully claim to be a regular starter. Arda Guler as well who can become a huge star at Madrid too. Good God…

This is the very last thing I’ll say for the time being. Working full time in football is a dream. Seeing players Ive worked with since they were young lads go on to have amazing achievements in the Champions League, international, professional stage etc, theres no better feeling

If someone sent me a scout report and told me “hes best as an 8” id tell them that means nothing, and doesn’t tell me a thing about that player. Forget what ‘position’ you think they are, tell me what characteristics they have as a player. Thats it. ‘Positions’ are irrelevant

Kulisevski edge of the box - passive Result - 1-0 to Luton town. Being passive in attack doesn’t just hinder your chances of scoring goals, it also makes you weaker defensively.

This isn’t new, he’s never been able to. His combination play has always been below par and he’s never been able to change pace of attacks. But it wasn’t a huge issue before because attacks rarely went through him, he was on the end of them. Now, far too many go through him

The worst half of football I’ve ever seen from any professional football side who are competing in the same league. By far. It is an utter disgrace in every conceivable way. Is personal pride going to kick in at any stage?

The increasing influence of data on player analysis in football is both a positive, and necessary. But is it heading towards a stage where it’s being used incorrectly and can have devastating effects? My piece on the subject

Yes. English culture is a losers mentality. Theyre the first to bring people down at any sign of success, the first to ridicule ambition because they themselves couldnt do it, the first to hate personality and the first to accept failure as long as they ‘gave blood, sweat, tears’

One thing Thomas Tuchel has shown he excels at is understanding the opposition and figuring out ways to counter them in one off games. That can work in cup comps, but very unlikely in a league format at the best, where the best want to make the oppo adapt to them moreso

That was an excellent second half from Spurs. In approach. It was positive, risk taking, going for the throats of the opposition individually and collectively. Exactly as it should be.

The Werner one on one was in the first half… If your metric says a player is only like to score that goal, less than two times out of every 10 attempts, then your metric is bullshit.

Personal news, got a role at a semi-pro club. Wasn’t something I was actively looking for but will be a good experience and further my learning and who knows, maybe a strong avenue for the future. Will only further encourage me to get my UEFAs which I want to do in time as well

Amazing performance. A lot of what Winks did so well was where he didn’t even touch the ball but defended superbly ie, forcing City to play early crosses, shepherding players away etc. Things that have been a huge weakness for him as a DM before

That’s incredible from Lo Celso. Now imagine he does that as one of the midfield three, then you gave Ndombele as the other....I wonder if Ndombele/Lo Celso/ Winks has enough defensive cover in it
