Coaching Tactics

Jimmy Conrad and Charlie Davies try to put the world to rights after a bitterly disappointing Concacaf Nations League campaign by the USMNT. Nothing is off the table as the guys discuss player entitlement and Mauricio Pochettino's "head scratching" tactics against Panama and Canada. Does the best version of the team include Weston McKennie (06:15)? The galvanizing effect of a signature win, the most missed pieces on the roster, and concerns about the spine of the team (27:25). And what can the coaching staff do to correct course during June camp (49:39)?

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola dissect Mauricio Pochettino's press conference in search of clues as to how his USMNT might play. Tony gives his two cents on the goalkeepers called into camp (03:08) before the guys discuss Poch's preferred formations and project a starting XI (12:32). The crew wax poetic about Weston McKennie's ability to keep his starting position at Juventus following the Texan's impressive performance against Leipzig (29:06). In contrast, Yunus Musah's regression at AC Milan remains an area of concern (35:10). Inter Miami clinched the MLS Supporters' Shield on Wednesday night. Can anyone stop the Herons in the playoffs? (45:04) And does Lionel Messi deserve to be crowned MVP? (51:10) And looking ahead to next season, will Peter Vermes still be in charge of Sporting Kansas City?

It's been inevitable for a while, but it was certainly not inevitable 12 months ago and even less so six years ago. How did Liverpool build a team to win a Champions League and Premier League trophy in back to back seasons? How do we tell this story, and how do we parse out the different causes, from business development to analytics to coaching and tactics to good fortune. It's an unquestionable analytics success story, and also one that takes on a different shape from many of those we're us...

Buenos días, and welcome to another episode of On The Continent - live from snowy London Town! David Cartlidge and Andy Brassell join Luke Moore in the studio to run the rule over this week’s Champions League fixtures, as well as some of the other continental goings on. We discuss Real Madrid losing their Champions League fear factor as they were beaten 2-1 by an impressive Manchester City, while Maurizio Sarri was left confused by his players’ lack of application of his methods as they were bested by Lyon. We also reserve some due praise for Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick, wonder what’s going on between Lionel Messi and Barcelona, and recount some truly mental scenes from Galatasaray’s win at Fenerbahçe - their first in 20 years! David’s also bought his love for hate to our Games of the Week, as he selects an underappreciated Andalusian derby. ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Sadly the FA Cup delivered no cupsets but we still enjoyed it, certainly more than Luke Shaw will have after another dressing down from Jose Mourinho, Mo Salah excites us into thinking he may be the greatest human in history and Newcastle get in a glorious bonus dig at Sunderland. On top of this the England squad musters enthusiasm, in a way, Neil Warnock spies a conspiracy, and Romario absolutely doesn’t.
