Hey Christophe GS I hear you on this one!

For a low block try to focus on these key principles in your sessions and game philosophy.

Compactness:  Players need to reduce the space between each other both horizontally (across the pitch) and vertically between attacking, midfield and defensive units. 

Discipline and Positioning: They need to be disciplined in maintaining their positions and roles within the structure.

Communication: Players should constantly communicate to adjust positions, alert each other to threats, e.g. slide right, squeeze, drop etc. 

Patience and Decision-Making: Individuals cant get bored in this shape, as soon as one player switches off, or decides to press at the wrong time.

Here are a few coaching themes that might help you during the season, let me know if they come in useful. 👍

Thanks JW will have a look into this one. 

How effective are your players at finishing in one v ones? Do they do well in training and just can’t transfer it to games? Let us know in the comments how your players are getting on ✌️

How do you work on your central midfielders receiving the ball on the half turn and how would you adapt this practice?

Thanks Aaron Montgomery, we're currently building out our formation content now so should be much more on the way.

Hi Sheri Branum it will honestly depend on your teams strengths and weaknesses in and out of possession and if you think you can impose yourselves on them more than they can on you.

Generally in a 433 against a 4-4-2 diamond you will get joy with your attacking full backs either side creating 2 v 1 overloads in the attacking third. You may lose ground centrally, but to counter this get your striker to stop any passes out from the back into their deep midfielder by shielding this pass.

We have a complete 4-3-3 category which has practices linked to this formation, so let me get this across to you to take a look, hope this helps.

Love that feedback.. goes into the product map for sure. 👌

Thanks Nick Brookfield , would you share any content from the Session Planner and animation tool with coaches as part of a club platform?

Thanks Michael Mc Geown, would the club platform be of any use to share session plans and animations you create with other coaches?
