Excited to share my first article for @BBCSport as their football tactics correspondent. I had the pleasure of looking at what Marc Guehi’s strengths are and how he might be utilised for Arne Slot’s side based on pre-season if the move comes to fruition.

With Liverpool in talks to sign Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi, we analyse what he would bring to the Reds.

Summarising Dembele’s season as ‘he wasn’t even PSG’s best, he just scored the most’ is so reductive. Couldn’t be further from the truth. Lead the press, excellent off ball, in and out of possession, dropped so deep to build-up and open up passes to the wingers, created chances.
the complain for a Dembélé Ballon d’Or is that he’s not the best player in the world (that’d be Lamine Yamal) hell, Dembélé wasn’t even the best player on his own team, he just scored the most goals.

Really fun one to sign out on. So much to like about Carlos Baleba that I worry teams might not be able to maximise all of his quality given how much he can do. Will miss The Overlap and our weekly shoots but channel will continue to be great because H is top, top quality 🩵.
Baleba piece out tomorrow on The Overlap Breakdown w/ Umir. Sadly, our last shoot as a duo but exciting things are coming for the brand, stay tuned. Love.
