Tactical Analysis

Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker field this month's listener entries for Mesut Haaland Dicks, as the Clichés faithful nominate their niche footballing fascinations and irritations. Among the selections are the slow-motion facial expression of choice for a missed chance, why players don't take practice swings before dead-ball situations, the cynical optical illusion of double advertising hoardings and the scourge of fantasy XIs that have no tactical balance. Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel reflect on Ange Postecoglou's emotional week, some more bemoaning of underappreciated English managers and the secret behind Manchester City's era of Premier League dominance.

On this week’s episode on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, we are joined by Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe. Gary Neville meets Eddie in his office at the Newcastle United training ground where the boss gives a fascinating insight into his tactics and playing-style which has brought so much success to his career. Regarded as one of the finest English managers of the past decade, Howe achieved the near impossible at AFC Bournemouth, taking the club from the bottom end of League 2 to the Premier League in the space of 8 years over two spells in charge. The former Cherries man talks about how he established his former side as a top-tier outfit before the toll of relegation, plus the lessons he has learnt along the way. Finally, after a stand-out first full season at St James’ Park where he guided the Magpies back to the Champions League and reached a cup final, Howe talks about the current campaign and his plan to establish Newcastle back in and amongst the elite English clubs.

The NWSL spring trade deadline has come and gone, and somehow, both the Houston Dash and Angel City made some significant moves. Eric and Evan brought Kieran Doyle-Davis on to get into all of the gobsmacking behavior by both teams in moving some major players. Then, they dig into Angel City's victory over the North Carolina Courage, and how a team with 62% possession and who topped the home side on xG 2.1 - 0.5 managed to still leave Los Angeles without a result. Plus, we'll hear from Angel City head coach Becki Tweed with her tactical analysis of the match! Art by Eli Elbogen Music by Devin Drobka's Bell Dance Songs Hosted on Acast.

On this week’s episode on the Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, we are joined by Bayern Munich legend and German World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger. We join Schweinsteiger in Munich, where he won eight Bundesliga’s, to reminisce on his impressive playing career, including his move to Manchester United where he was reunited with former coach Louis Van Gaal and how things took a turn for the worse under Jose Mourinho. The German international reveals what piece was missing in the puzzle of that 2016/17 Manchester United team, and which rivals they could have learnt from. Plus, would a move away from Old Trafford be best for former teammate Marcus Rashford? Schweinsteiger has played under some of the greatest managers, as he tells us about winning the treble under Jupp Heynckes in 2013 and trying to adapt to Pep Guardiola’s style of play at Bayern Munich when German football was number one in the world. Bastian also speaks about the impressiveness at Bayern Munich, Frank Ribery and Arjen Robben’s competitiveness and changing tactics. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We last checked in on the Kansas City Current in Week 1. What a difference a month makes! They're sitting atop the table on 10 points, have a potential superstar in Temwa Chawinga, and got a road point against Evan and Eric's preseason title favorite, Gotham FC. But is Chawinga the real deal? Were Juan Carlos Amorós's tactics too clever by half? Who looks like the better bet to keep succeeding in the weeks to come? Dive in, baby!

Jon Mackenzie is joined by Martin Rafelt to explore the idea of patience as a category within football, particularly in relation to positional play - before then digging deeper into where football tactics is right now. What is positional play? Exploring the contradiction between “winning mentality” and “positional play”. How can impatience be bad for teams who rely on intense counter-pressing and direct attacking? Is there an approach that is perhaps riskier, but has better output overall and is quicker and less of a test of patience?

And maybe they were unlucky to not walk away with more? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter talk about everything that happened on and off the field with the Galaxy this weekend. And it's not all good news. Josh and Kevin will discuss the Galaxy's 2-2 draw, and highlight the play of Riqui Puig, Mark Delgado, and Dejan Joveljic. Plus, Greg Vanney threw in some tactical tweaks that the club figured out on the fly. Why does that matter? But the guys will also dive into LA Galaxy Assistant Coach Nick Theslof's arrest in the early morning hours on Saturday in Nashville. Will additional charges come from his public intoxication arrest? Is it a red flag that the organization didn't know about his arrest until Monday morning? Josh and Kevin will also talk US Open Cup, referee issues, and Jovan Kirovski on his way to AC Milan.

Suj and James review the 9 weekend games played in GW24 and for both Arsenal's 6-0 victory against West Ham meant it was a bad FPL week as Gunners assets returned well with Gabriel benched and in James' case Bukayo Saka sold! But it was of course it was Suj's team that suffered a record home league defeat. Captaining Erling Haaland at least brought some relief, but City did struggle to break down a resolute Everton. City assets are obviously on radar as are those who also double at Brentford, Liverpool and Luton and final decisions ahead of the double may well be impacted by the status of Trent Alexander-Arnold's fitness. There's tactical insight into Arsenal's stunning victory, Kieran Trippier's role change for Newcastle at Forest that freed up Bruno Guimaraes, how Brighton's man to man game at Tottenham had success but ultimately cost them the game in which a returning player from International duty hugely impressed James. Plus, conversation on all the games including Manchester United's crucial win at Aston Villa and Sheffield United's surprise victory at Luton, planning towards GW29, managing GW26 and lots more...

Find out how much of a big influence legendary boss Bobby Robson was at Newcastle United before an acrimonious fall-out with Graeme Souness led to a St James Park departure. Hear the full anecdote on his infamous Golf attack at Liverpool and which other member of the squad was involved in a separate incident on the same night. Bellamy also reveals where he was told to look for another club under Rafa Benitez.
