🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT
Introducing drawtactics.com
A lot of people have asked me how I make my tactical diagrams, so I've made a web app that gives you access to my tactics board
For those who like to analyse using match footage screenshots, there also a screenshot annotation ocess 10x faster
The web app is still in MVP stage - it's not perfect yet, and I'll be updating it monthly to improve it
It works best on desktop browsers at the moment - I'm working on touchscreen functionality (although the tactics board is mostly functional on iPad)
If you use it, don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions, suggestions, problems or feedback you have 📩

Enjoyed watching Barca - Villa
Often 3+1 rest defence w/Rodri, two wingers holding width
Then Fermin, Raphinha, Pedri, Cancelo roaming across the width of the halfspaces
Emery's side unable to deal with the midfield overloads with Raphinha dropping in

Been annotating some video clips of PSG for tomorrow's Substack newsletter
Running out of superlatives for their rotations
Even sequences that don't lead to breakthroughs are fascinating to watch
Rarely seen a team create decisional crises for their opponents so relentlessly

Many things to complement about this PSG team, but one key thing is that every player is comfortable carrying the ball and taking extra touches under pressure when necessary
This means they can manipulate the opponent and wait for the right option to become available

PSG aren’t even playing football anymore . I don’t know what to call this

Diagonal dropping movements from Odegaard to get free against Liverpool's high press early on
In Liverpool's man-to-man scheme, the idea was for Mac Allister and Nyoni to mark Guimaraes and Rice
Then van Dijk (LCB) should jump to Odegaard (usually in the right halfspace)
egaard move over towards the left halfspace, meaning van Dijk would have to move a large distance as well as cross over with Jacquet in order to follow, which he was initially hesitant to do
Arsenal then had a +1 in midfield
Big factor in helping Arsenal settle into the game in the first twenty minutes

🟠 Barcelona buildup sequence vs PSG (61st min)
- classic use of third-man principle to beat Akliouche's attempt to direct Barca's press with his curved run - Fermin's well-timed dropping movement for the bounce pass
- after the pass, Fermin's quick change of direction creates dynamic advantage), setting up another third-man combination via Yamal
- excellent shared understanding for the up-back-through between Yamal, Gordon, and Gavi who makes the blindside movement off Ruiz

💻 Added a new animator version to the DrawTactics web app alongside the existing one
Much smoother export on web app compared to the old animator, new pitch, annotation + player style options, plus new UI design (the motivation for which will become clear soon)
More to come
