This is a chance to work at the heart of the game, study the biggest matches, break down tactical themes, and bring stories to life through video. Our analysis goes beyond the numbers: it’s about spotting patterns, understanding the details and showing how they influence performance on the pitch.

Hours of video analysis, research, validation and continued development has enabled us to define defensive strategies and the defensive roles within those strategies. There's lots of interesting take aways for lovers of the game, analysts, set play coaches and managers.

The fact that the GK gets a tiny touch on the ball absolutely doesn’t give him leeway to deliberately wipe Gyokeres out afterwards and Pope clearly leaves his leg out when he could have pulled it away. Shocking decision, absolutely shocking.
