How did Nuno set up #NFFC to prevent #MUFC from playing the ball into central areas in the build up phase?🧵

Forest set up with MGW & Wood deeper, looking after the Man Utd CMs. The winger on either side is expected to push forward when the ball is on their side of the pitch.

Some poor off the ball actions from #NFFC led to the first two #ManCity goals on Wednesday night - let's have a quick look at them before we hope to see them rectified later today🧵
December 7, 2024 at 3:35 PM
#NFFC pressed #ITFC more than they have any team since August - but how did Nuno set up the team?🧵

Forest limited Ipswich to under 9 passes for every Forest defensive action - the lowest number since the Wolves & Bournemouth home games.

I mentioned only last night after Brighton's first goal how I wanted to see #NFFC get more players into the box for crosses.

And we saw an example of it already! This looks like a low-danger moment for Ipswich, but Gibbs-White's untracked run creates a great opportunity.

Important to note that #NFFC restricted #ITFC to just 0.65 xG today from 7 shots - both numbers the lowest Ipswich have managed since 14th September.

Ola Aina action map for #NFFC v #ITFC

Another good performance for Aina who was as reliable as ever today.

Perhaps not as much action in the final third as he would've hoped, but overall a good day, ranking 4th on my Player Impact model.

Visuals from #NFFC v #ITFC today

Tyler Dibling was awarded tonight's man of the match award for #SaintsFC in a bright performance against #BHAFC.

There are times where it looks like he's trying to do too much when carrying the ball in the middle of the field but he certainly looks to have a very bright future.

There's obviously more to it than this - but sometimes it can be as simple as putting men in the box. It's something #NFFC don't always do enough.

Here #BHAFC are 4v4 in the box and each attacker is spaced a good distance apart from their team mate.

I think the battles on both wings will be very interesting for #NFFC & #ITFC. With Tuanzebe (40) likely to continue at right back - Ipswich will push Leif Davis (3) further up the field on the left when in possession.

This could give Hudson-Odoi some good moments in transition.

Former #NFFC man Philip Zinckernagel scored for Bodø/Glimt at Old Trafford tonight.
November 28, 2024 at 10:01 PM
A fantastic performance from #LFC's Conor Bradley - he assisted the first goal and kept Mbappe pretty quiet before going off with an injury.

Breaking down #NFFC's defensive tactics v #Arsenal, and the goals conceded🧵
It's clear from the outset that Dominguez is asked to help Moreno with Saka. I mentioned early in the game how important it was that the rest of the midfield shuffled left to cover the space.
November 25, 2024 at 10:10 PM
Fantastic performances from both James Maddison & Dejan Kulusevski for #THFC in their 4-0 win over #MCFC
November 23, 2024 at 7:34 PM
This last 30 mins or so will give us a decent idea if Jota Silva is indeed suited to a role behind the striker as a lot of #NFFC fans have been wanting.
November 23, 2024 at 4:28 PM
#NFFC will be happy that the scoreline is only 0-1 at half time.
November 23, 2024 at 4:01 PM
Disappointing start from a set piece perspective from #NFFC.

Forest need to be more switched on in both the first and second phase.
November 23, 2024 at 3:07 PM
We may see Arsenal be a bit more patient in build up from goal kicks today without Havertz to battle aerially.
Awoniyi will have to lead the line out of possession well for #NFFC
November 23, 2024 at 1:54 PM
No Anderson or MGW for #NFFC is a bit of a worry - perhaps makes the decision to start Taiwo easier, plus he loves a goal against Arsenal.
Ward-Prowse was great at Anfield so a good opportunity for him too.
November 23, 2024 at 1:54 PM
These passing combination visuals show the lack of a press from #LCFC against #CFC in the first half. Colwill and Badiashile have exchanged 40 passes with each other - the majority being the Leicester half.

Leicester have to change this to try and stop Chelsea from controlling the game.
November 23, 2024 at 1:31 PM
Plymouth's Andre Gray came back to haunt his former club with 2 goals to earn the home side a point tonight. He ranked 2nd using my Player Impact Model.
November 22, 2024 at 10:42 PM
Finally, we'll look at #NFFC's attacking players - first up is Morgan Gibbs-White.

MGW's underlying numbers this season are very positive - but he's not been rewarded with goal contributions just yet with just 1 goal so far.
November 22, 2024 at 8:26 PM
As weird as it is to say, #NFFC and Chris Wood in particular may get some joy out of William Saliba who so far this season has had a huge drop in performances for #AFC.
November 21, 2024 at 10:02 PM
#NFFC will have to keep an eye on a rested Bukayo Saka this weekend. The #AFC winger may not have been at his absolute best yet this season, but he remains one of the most dangerous wingers in the Premier League.
November 21, 2024 at 9:45 PM
Today we'll look at #NFFC central midfielders - first up is Captain Ryan Yates!

Yates has some solid defensive numbers and continues to improve year on year - but compared to other central midfielders in the #PL so far this season he is toward the bottom in my model.
