Spurs draw vs Wolves sparks a cathartic chat: frustration with chance creation at home vs solid away form; “boiled parsnip” as the metaphor for a flat performance.

Can Ange Postecoglou get his first win as Nottingham Forest manager? Lots of Forest Prizes To Win! For Only 39p! https://win.footballprizes.co.uk/forestfftv Wolfie is here to look ahead to Saturday's Premier League showdown at the City Ground, where new manager Ange Postecoglou makes his home debut still searching for that elusive first win after a mixed bag of draws and defeats. With Forest sitting 15th and Sunderland impressively seventh with eight points from five games, this fixture is a must-not-miss—Wolfie breaks down the stakes, from Angeball's potential to shine under the lights to the Black Cats' strong second-half scoring threat that could test the Reds' resolve. Wolfie dives into his expected team lineup, weighing who should start for the Reds: Igor Jesus looks guaranteed to lead the line after his stunning brace in the 2-2 Europa League draw against Real Betis, marking Forest's first European goals in 30 years and putting him ahead of Chris Wood for now. Midfield maestro Morgan Gibbs-White could pull the strings, with Douglas Luiz anchoring, but the big question is the defence—will Murillo be back fit after recovering well from his knock against Arsenal, boosting the backline alongside Morato? Neco Williams impressed at Burnley, so expect him to hold the right flank. #nffc #sunderland #premierleague Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On today's episode of the podcast, we discuss the Arsenal midfield. While we've started the season with a few injuries, it feels like at times we've struggled to find the perfect balance between competing physically and providing sufficient creativity from that area of the park. We'll talk Rice, Zubimendi, Merino, Odegaard, Norgaard, Nwaneri and more.

"Asante Kotoko, currently under Karim Zito, is solid but has midfield weaknesses that they must fix." - Ebenezer Sefa, Scout & Coach

On this episode, Patrick and Ted open with the Manchester Derby as City defeat United 3–0, but who should really be worried? Jeremy Doku delivers his best performance, yet City's problems remain while United's defensive structure continues to collapse. They then move on to Juventus' 4–3 win over Inter in a Serie A thriller, Arsenal's more direct style with Zubimendi, Eze, and Gyökeres, and Aston Villa's struggles under Unai Emery. The conversation shifts to the importance of set pieces, how clubs train them, and how to get coaches to buy in. Finally, Hansi Flick warns about overplaying Lamine Yamal, the need to protect young players, and bold ideas for football's rules and competitions close out the episode.

Pezzolano's Watford looked miles off the pace in a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn. With little creativity in midfield, injury problems at the back and an Isolated Kyerrumgaard it was a frustrating watch for Elton John and the Vicarage road faithful.This week Ned and James dig into the key issues: Is Baah really suited to the left? does he offer enough from the start and is Irankunda a better option?Is Sissoko running out of steam and Kayembe offering enough? and how vital are the returns of Louza, Chakvetadze and Dwomoh to get this side moving again?Then it's all eyes on Millwall away. Performance, intent and realistically three points are a must — but what happens if Watford fail to deliver at The Den? is pressure already mounting on Paulo?Guess the Player returns, Enjoy!Let us know your thoughts!!

In this podcast I run through FPL players being brought and sold from peoples team and discuss whether they are good moves or not. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━

#906 | United drifted through the visit to Fulham with the same structural flaws that sank last season. In this Tactics Show episode, Ed and Dharnish go forensic on shape, pressing, midfield and set pieces, then ask what the coaching staff can actually fix before a run of difficult matches. What we cover Why United's out-of-possession shape keeps breaking Build-up patterns that stall and the knock-on for chance creation Midfield dynamics - who 's where, who carries, who screens Defence - why the back five keeps getting stretched Set pieces - the approach, the assignments, and why the box is panicked Managerial choices - trade-offs being made and better ones on the table 00:00 Introduction00:35 Key moments that framed the match03:41 Midfield dynamics05:46 Defence and rest defence09:14 Managerial decisions 16:27 Set-piece audit18:14 Defensive priorities19:48 Midfield trade-offs25:29 What needs fixing 28:57 Final word If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Hosts Jerry Mancini and Alex Donno chat with special guest Uncle Sharma about the Serie A summer mercato. Sharma gives his breakdown on new Inter Milan midfield signing Andy Diouf. Meanwhile, matchday one starts this weekend in Italy and the guys break down the biggest games and top storylines.

A slightly different feel to the Agenda this week for a couple reasons. The big one being we're leading with our interview this time around. How could we not when it's Da Boy on the guest list. Sebastian Lletget joins the Agenda for the first time this season to talk a myriad of topics, including (somehow) a potential new nickname for Dallas' erstwhile midfield statesman. Then the main Agenda gets rolling with a substitution, as the FC Dallas insider Garrett Melcer was a late scratch due to illness. That means Ryan, Steve, and producer Sam take up the mics this week to talk about the Burn's revolving door in midfield, why it has/hasn't worked, and what they think might be the best practice going forward for the Toros in the pitch's center.It's game preview time after that and what a game is coming to Toyota Stadium. LAFC makes their only scheduled stop in Frisco Saturday featuring newly signed star Son Heung-Min. The lads talk about the impact Korea's top athlete will have in his first Frisco trip while also touching on a low key stellar MLS matchup that fans will see between the lines.0:54 Sebastian Lletget interview19:45: FC Dallas' 2025 midfield: A review53:12 Son Heung-Min/LAFC come to FriscoThe FC Dallas Agenda publishes (almost) every Wednesday as a part of the FC Dallas Radio Network. The hosts of the FC Dallas Agenda are Ryan Figert, Garrett Melcer, and Steve Davis. The executive producer of the FC Dallas Radio Network is Sam Hale.  

#902 | Ed, Dharnish and Daniel pull apart United's performance against Arsenal. The shape out of possession looked cleaner, United broke the first press often enough, but box occupation and decision making let them down. United's build-up worked far better, yet the final action and consistent presence in the area still lagged behind the approach play. Much better overall. What's inside Pressing shape – where it worked, where it fell apart, and how the front line triggered the press. Breaking the press – patterns that beat Arsenal's first line and why United needed more third-man runs. Box presence – too few bodies attacking space, poor timing on cut-backs, and wasteful shot selection. Midfield roles – Cunha between lines, Mount as connector, and the knock-on effects for the rest defence. Wide areas and full backs – when the overlap helped, when it clogged lanes, and how to create better threats. Buildup problems – clean exits from the first phase that fizzled before the final pass. Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:40 Baiting the Press 13:03 How the system hel up 15:44 Season expectations and on-pitch IQ 17:35 Build-up bottlenecks 18:36 Full backs and box occupation 18:58 Midfield dynamics and roles 22:55 Bruno Fernandes' positioning 26:29 Development priorities for key players 29:16 Final thoughts Takeaway Progress in structure, not yet in punch. United can reach good zones against strong pressure. The next step is simple to say and hard to do – arrive in the box with numbers, improve the last touch, and turn control into goals.
