⚫️ #OM #Marseille Tactical Thread ⚪️
A chaotic, high-stakes clash awaits. Roberto De Zerbi's Marseille are built on tactical bravery and high-risk football. For a #NUFC side struggling to build attacks, and especially away from home, this is another tough test. #UCL #NUFC

🔵 #MCFC Tactical Preview 🔵

A misfiring #NUFC attack faces the ultimate test: Manchester City. The Magpies' disjointed buildup and lack of vertical threat play perfectly into the hands of Pep Guardiola's system. A thread on City. 🧵 #NEWMCI

Big one tomorrow. Arsenal at home. They’re not the same team we faced last season—Arteta's added new tricks. Here’s a tactical thread on what to expect. #NUFC #AFC

The cup draw's thrown up a proper lower-league test. I watched League One-leading Bradford City take down a good Cardiff side, so here’s my quick tactical look at these. 🧵 #NUFC #BCAFC

Right, let's talk Bournemouth. Andoni Iraola has them playing a chaotic, high-octane system. I watched their Brighton fixture, here’s what to expect. #NUFC #AFCB

Barcelona at home in the UCL. A massive test. I've been studying Hansi Flick's system to see what we're up against. A tactical scouting thread on what to expect. 🧵 #NUFC #FCB

An early-season tactical showdown at St. James' Park: Arne Slot's new tweaked approach against Eddie Howe's organized & aggressive #NUFC. A fascinating clash of styles is coming. #NEWLIV

Here's a tactical preview of Liverpool, and potential battles for the toon 🧵

Let's preview #NUFC at #AVFC.

Typically for a preview, I'll watch the opponents most recent match, and pull metrics, maybe screenshots.

No idea what magic Unai added this year (or Howe), but here’s the core of Villa’s game: patience and structure. 🧵

#NUFC host Bournemouth, which means I watched Bournemouth's recent draw with Chelsea to get a sense of how they're playing right now. Here's what I saw-

#NUFC head down to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to play… Tottenham Hotspur.

I watched Spurs last match against Wolverhampton, and here are some tactical quirks to expect:

Why winning the battle in the wide areas was important in Newcastle’s 2-0 victory away to Manchester United? And how did they do it?

Look at Bruno's positioning in the passmap, and his progression metrics in the final graph. Tonali being the 6 has truly amped up his influence on our attacks. #NUFC

Hoping for a #NUFC v. Spurs final, which would never end since neither us can win silverware anymore.
We will face Arsenal in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup 🏆

The first leg will be at the Emirates Stadium.

Great thread, with top work. Fortunately, this is about left-footed wingers rather than conservative politicians.

For the non-#NUFC fans, this scratches the 'Ray Hudson turn of phrase' itch.

Having been asked a few times for which Right Wingers (position not politics) options I’d like #NUFC to have a look at in January, I thought I’d have a bit of fun with it. So here goes:
