🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT Introducing drawtactics.com A lot of people have asked me how I make my tactical diagrams, so I've made a web app that gives you access to my tactics board For those who like to analyse using match footage screenshots, there also a screenshot annotation tool that makes that process 10x faster The web app is still in MVP stage - it's not perfect yet, and I'll be updating it monthly to improve it It works best on desktop browsers at the moment - I'm working on touchscreen functionality (although the tactics board is mostly functional on iPad) If you use it, don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions, suggestions, problems or feedback you have 📩

Happy with how the new animated tactics board is looking Gonna polish up some of the UI/UX in the coming days
⚽️ What went wrong in Barcelona’s pressing?

In both defeats for Barcelona last week, they faced teams who used the switch of play effectively Barcelona are quite ball-oriented in their pressing and try to keep their defensive line closely connected, meaning they leave space on the ball-far side

💻 Added a new animator version to the DrawTactics web app alongside the existing one Much smoother export on web app compared to the old animator, new pitch, annotation + player style options, plus new UI design (the motivation for which will become clear soon) More to come

Kane's assist for Davies vs Arsenal was incredible, but we have to look at Pavlovic's decoy run to understand why he was in so much space As the throw in is taken from the right side, Konsa is ready to step onto Kane, but Pavlovic then makes a run across Konsa's face It's natural for a player to react to this, as Konsa did, even though there's Gabriel behind him Konsa stops and covers Pavlovic's run instead of stepping to Kane - you can see him in the pic pointing to Kane, asking for someone (not sure exactly who tbh) to pick him up Few seconds later, Bayern work the ball inside and Kane is free to look up and supply the throughball for Davies

Clear idea for Arsenal was to try and play over the Bayern press, targetting Bayern's left back area from which they would try to counterpress the second ball

Finally, Rice's goal was really an lovely move, executed with precision The pass wide to Madueke stretches the gap between Bayern LB & LCB Rice understands this immediately & makes the penetrating run off Davies, Gyokeres facilitates the combination with his back-to-goal play

🟠 Barcelona's idea vs PSG's man-to-man press - CMs deep to attract PSG's midfield and open space between lines - dropping movements from front four into the space - vertical passes followed with runs from deep and third man runs
