If a forward has out of possession/pressing work as their best asset, they’re in trouble.
Martin Odegaard has great usage of his body in the final ball [DISGUISED passing] —> that allows him to BREAK lines/blocks: 1) Torso direction (one way) —> forces defenders to use incorrect body shapes themselves (deception). 2) Technical execution in the reverse pass.
Tosin Adarabioyo isn’t an aggressor type CB & he needs to channel his jumping out behaviours out to forwards, It isn’t his game to do that. He’s more of a backline leader —> provides sweeping actions rather than jumping actions. He’s the type that needs to stay deeper.
Antonee Robinson—don’t doubt a Pep Guardiola target.
Every time I watch Antonee Robinson, he always impresses me. I love his applicability/range in different zones & phases of play —> great wide defender (extendable legs & broad/low body span), can carry/pass from deeper & advanced zones. Running power to churn to.

That Jarell Quansah boy can pass for fun—so much range/precision in those passing actions to break blocks.
Joshua Zirkzee is what I want from a CF, to be a true outlet. Possesses the physicality/frame to hold the ball up —> broad/square upper body to occupy CBs. And has the technical basics for small spaces & associative/socio aspects to bring in others.
Julian Alvarez is a specialist ‘shadow striker’. Requires another outlet WITH him (Haaland) instead of being the primary outlet himself. Uses his space invading (rather than occupying) skillset. He’s not a midfielder & he isn’t a lone CF.

Julian Alvarez isn’t a suitable #9 because he isn’t an outlet in ANY regard —> he doesn’t have the TECHNICALITY + PHYSICALITY to occupy space/defenders. And his ‘usage’ is a mirage—he can’t even execute simple technical actions as a CF, god forbid him doing it deeper zones.
Julian Alvarez’s inability to perform simple technical actions & do the individual basics of a footballer is starting to exasperate me. Shouldn’t be anywhere near an ideal starting XI & if he dare asks to be a 1st team player, we need to scam someone before they notice.

Joel Ndala—England’s own ‘Rafael Leão’ variant. {SCOUT REPORT}🪡 Thread.
Kudus is a legitimate threat in any role in a front 3: LW, 9, RW. He offers different things in each role. He would be an incredible weapon for any elite team to have. Attacking version of Bernardo Silva.
But the best players do exactly that. Read when it’s best to slow down and when to speed up. See Kroos, Iniesta, Modric etc. It’s not enough to control the ball nicely (technique) to be on the level of the 3 players mentioned above. And the example in the clip is perfect
This is Phil Foden’s biggest issue (currently) as a midfielder, his lack of pausa. Seen here, against Chelsea. It’s because his game is naturally accustomed to using quicker actions when receiving. But he must play slower, to make better actions.
Pep Guardiola: "@PhilFoden has a sixth gear. But he can't play all the time sixth gear. Play second, or third. With time he'll learn. Today [vs Brighton] was much better than games before. Everything so quick... no! Say, ‘Slower,’ to make it quicker after, surprise opponents..."
Fullbacks need to be any of these 3 things to be worth it —Massively contributing to defending (Ferland Mendy) —Massively contributing to attacking (Trent/Marcelo) —Special and specific tactical piece (Zinchenko/Cancelo) If they are fully not any of these 3 things, not worth it
Kevin De Bruyne on Phil Foden: “I think he will end up centrally; he was always a number ten…”
Phil Foden has scored or assisted 29.5% of Man City's PL goals this season (23 of 78). Breakthrough.
Lovely words from the Sheikh 💙 Some (not all) of my favourite analytical City accounts on here: @4lex_mcfc @APieces_ @7harry__ @__TheNearPost__ @city_tactics
@LNobbins and @4lex_mcfc have quickly become my favorite City content creators. I love how they are critical and provide perspective without being overly negative. There is no bias/agenda with their analysis and it’s clear they support our players as fans, regardless of…
@SheikhMCI @4lex_mcfc @LNobbins The absolute best. @7harry__ , @APieces_ other top accounts within our fanbase
Eberechi Eze vs Newcastle United @EbereEze10
Different types. Eze is a Grealish/carrying type that needs outlets, Olise is a Mahrez/passing type that also needs outlets. Both are incredible but Eze can eliminate 1v1 by himself in any situation and carry 60 yards. Incredible athlete, duel winner. Better attitude than Olise.
I thought Jackson did pretty well yesterday. Got the better of Saliba about once or twice, which is the best anyone can do. I think he is going to be really good in about a year or two from now. He should be at West Ham, developing, wowing everyone, moving for big money in 2026.
People here have low analytical skills. They think that if a player is doing bad it’s because he’s bad. They don’t consider/try to find out anything bar what they see from a football fan point of view. Then they get surprised or try to slander when a player improves considerably.
See, he has the range passing for transitional situations in his locker, he just needs to be certain that the pass is on. x.com/hbmshaaari/sta…
The issue with Ø in larger spaces isn't technical, it's temperamental (only if he's certain) He's more conservative than his playmaking peers. KDB, Bruno, Trent etc are more consistent range passers because they have game breaking temperament, whereas Ø is only a game maker.
Thuram: "Presidente, Çalhanoglu e eu custamos zero euro, temos que ganhar um presente!" Zhang: "Sabia que seria um erro entrar nessa live..."
الاستاذ دا طلع بيمدح باكايوكو من الصيف ابحثوا عنده وشوفوا تحليله جميل باكا wide playmaker مميز وعنده العرضيات والتمرير والربط بشكل كبير،عشان اللي بيشبهه بـ دوكو هو متنوع عنه وأشمل ومنتج وعنده الـ1ضد1 برضو وفيه شبة من ساكا فعلا بروفايل قريب مع الفوارق ولو انه انفجاري أكتر منه كمان
One of the best things about Johan Bakayoko is not only his ability to create from wide areas (from both passing and carrying), but his ability to create from the right half space. Like Bukayo Saka. Ability to carry the ball or play weighted passes—large influence players.
