Thanks Rebecca, really appreciate the feedback. all the best :-)

I would upload more if i had the time, one of the downsides to being an analyst is the lack of spare time unf, but thank you kindly for the comment/feedback...much app :-)

a lot of it is and in the past i certainly had to collect it all myself which was exhaustive and time consuming, more recently though the clubs I work for tend to have a data provider (wyscout, statsbomb, opta, iscout7 etc)

Follow up question: when you’re in such a deep block and you get the transition hold-up play can be difficult since your striker might be so low. Any solutions to this obvious downside of lowBlock?

I think to solve this issue is about 3-4 things, 1) you have to train your players for those transitional moments well, they have to offer composure, not play to players under pressure, whilst making quick vertical decisions where possible to find your #9s or #10s 2) you do have 1 strong advantage to not defending with a #9 (the #9 becomes a #10 for us in our third) they break between the lines, down the corridor of the oppositions CDM which is always going to be free space - in these instances they need to hold the ball a lot less than they need to progress the ball and because they can get face up a lot more ....3) I think a key counter pressing detail is to get 1 player to get underneath the line of the ball as quick as possible, as you rightly point out its likely the transition will be snuffed out more often than not and so you need to plan for this, and for me unless im missing something, then the final piece is the explode into life supporting cast to try and attack space and or get ahead of the ball quicker than the opp can recover (again with call ball carriers ideally) but you're right its a massive challenge and not easy to solve

It may not be the best approach, but this was my/our approach, using a mix of objective and subjective analysis where we broke down key patterns, players, locations, and ultimately where the greatest threats come from...from there we can start to design our plan around those key findings accordingly

@@glen130182 that’s a tremendous detail on the hold-up player starting out between the lines with a greater chance to turn. Thanks for the thorough answer!

your welcome as always Mind Strike...always enjoy our chats...I hope you and the fam are well :-)
