[Albion] Tiki Tactics

[Albumen]

Highest possession, highest passing percentage by some distance. 7th for shots per game. All very encouraging, but it didn't get them into the playoffs, so I wonder what didn't work so well at Swansea last season?

Having half a squad in pre-season probably didn't help.

Man United most certainly don't rely on The Daily Telegraph's analysis in order to prepare for a game....

Sunday Sport?

Phwoarr!

............. and one more pundit/analyst comes up with the idea that we played 4-3-3 last season .......................

But we did at least for the 2019 part of the season.

Sure it looked like 1-9-1 but they're not likely to write that.

I wish there was less commentary on our tactics. Couldn't help think we took Watford by surprise but there are numerous pieces of content on how we played for upcoming teams to digest and plan for.

We're continuously only bluffing in order to surprise our next opponents.

Pep: "Guys, how are we going to deal with Brighton?"
Coach A: "No idea boss, we are all bricking it!"
Coach B: ***Runs in waving a piece of paper*** "Boss! Boss! Have you seen Football Whispers?!"
Pep: "This is GOLD. Good work lad. Was bricking it for a minute there! Phew!"

Their squad was completely decimated, by a combination of sales and injuries, I believe.

Swans were nearly lowest at winning aerial battles too - don't think we will have that problem!!

Yeah, they sold 16 players and bought 5 that season.

Interesting video, but I wish the guy would speak clearly. Without the sub-titles he would have been very difficult to understand. He needs to speak more slowly and enunciate his words clearly.

I think we were the worst team on defensive set pieces. Not because we were badly organised but because of the high prevalence of dwarfs and the fact that keeper Nordfeldt is completely shit in the aerial space. Also having a squad with 15-16 Championship class players with the rest being League One level at best didnt help us either.

GP isn't exactly coy about his tactics. Whilst at Östersunds he made this video which was so detailed, he lost me half way through

Against top six side we could go for a false nine so to speak and break at pace with Maupay and Ali J in the wide roles - certainly won't be back to the wall like Wolves away last season
