The Tactics Show: Review of the Season Part 1

#1010 | Ed and Dharnish begin a three-part season tactical review, covering the start of the campaign through the autumn and setting up later segments on Ruben Amarin’s downfall and Michael Carrick’s resurgence. There’s a review of early matches including Arsenal, Fulham, Burnley, City, Chelsea, Brentford, and a damaging loss at Grimsby. Why did Amorim lean into long balls, why wouldn’t he move away from his beloved 3-4-3, and why did he insist on playing his best players out of position ... or not at all?  00:00 Intro and Season Overview 01:18 Early Season: Amorim Ball 04:13 Grimsby and The Low Point 12:06 Attack Clicks and Set Pieces Saving Amorim 12:58 Pressing & Defensive Issues 19:39 Three Wins in a Row and Brighton 22:18 Transition to Part 2: Amorim's Downfall If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
