In this week's Huddle Breakdown: Extra Time, Alan and James get under the skin of Celtic's attacking problems after the narrow win at Motherwell. Alan's data deep-dive shows a clear drop in chance creation, revealing how midfield structure — not finishing — is at the heart of Celtic's creativity crisis. James dissects why Rodgers' system still looks flat, and what Celtic must do to rebuild tempo and risk-taking in the final third. The lads also touch on Gerrard's name being floated for Rangers and what that says about Scottish football's cycle of ideas.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

Forest are back in Europa League action, but can new manager Ange Postecoglou get his first win? Check out FFTV Merch! Click Here: https://forestfantv.com/ Wolfie is here to gear you up for Thursday's Europa League showdown at the City Ground, where Ange Postecoglou's Reds host the Danish powerhouse FC Midtjylland in what could be a turning point after five winless games. Midtjylland come in flying high after a 2-0 victory over Sturm Graz in their opener, boasting a clinical attack led by Franculino Dju's nine goals this season, but Forest's home advantage and Ange's continental pedigree make this a winnable fixture—Wolfie shares his thoughts on how the Reds can finally break their duck and build momentum. Wolfie dives into his predicted teamsheet: expect a bold 4-3-3 with Igor Jesus spearheading the attack after his Betis brace, potentially edging out Chris Wood for a start to inject pace into Angeball's high-pressing transitions—will the Brazilian's finishing fire earn him the nod? Will Zinchenko be kept at left back or would Ange be tempted to switch him to a midfield role? How do you see this one playing out—a gritty 2-1 Forest win to give Ange his first triumph, or will Midtjylland's set-piece threats expose vulnerabilities?

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

How did he make his way to England and what challenges did he overcome along the journey?The conversation then turns to his time at Leeds United, how he adapted to Premier League life, the teammates who pushed him to become one of the club's top scorers, and the controversy around his exit from Elland Road which saw him move to Atlético Madrid.Jimmy recalls his return to England, leading the line for Chelsea and later Middlesbrough, where he worked with Gareth Southgate. That connection eventually led to him joining Southgate's coaching staff for Euro 2024.We dive into the tournament itself. Where did England go wrong, and was playing Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield too big a gamble?

#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.
