Most people watch the wrong things in football.
They follow the ball.
That’s why they miss what actually decides games.
Inside clubs, analysis is completely different.
If you want to understand the game properly:

- "If we play this game 10x more, in the same fashion, then I think it is 8 times a draw, we (Liverpool) win it 1 time, and Arsenal win it 1 time." Unsure why this statement has not been publicised by reporters. Maybe as it is too sensible/gets less clicks.x.com/EBL2017_Media/…
- José Mourinho in the low block. Jürgen Klopp in the high press. Pep Guardiola in possession. Mikel Arteta. The most complete manager alive. He's going down in history. The titles will follow. Trust me on that 🔴⚪️
- A tribute to Arsenal's historical performance at the Bernabéu. Every player gets a mention before we talk about the man at the helm. The man who is responsible for this special moment in Arsenal history. The man who constructed a game-plan from heaven, Mikel Arteta. THREAD! 🔴
- GOOD LUCK preparing to play against Arsenal next season. It'll be a guessing game. If you press, which fullback will invert, and which #8 will drop deep? If you go man-to-man, they can play long to Havertz & can create artificial transitions. If you sit deep, pff. No chance...
- Declan Rice has the match-winning gene, just like Rodri, except he’s 10x better defensively AND an elite #8. Stop debating, guys - he’s the best #6 in the world!
- Virgil van Dijk. The best defender who has ever lived.
- Rúben Amorim to Manchester United... An analytical thread on Amorim's Sporting team, his tactics, and how they translate to the Premier League. THREAD! 🚨
- Benjamin Šeško, Arsenal Football Club, Mikel Arteta. This, my friends, will be the signing that propels Arsenal onto Manchester City's level. Šeško will be Arteta's very own version of Erling Haaland. If they get the deal done, it's the BEST signing of the window 💯 THREAD! 🔴
- Michael Carrick has taken Middlesbrough from 22nd to 3rd in just 14 games as manager at the club. I’m unsure it’s possible to comprehend how special that is, especially when considering his style represents that of the elites (4-2-4 ➡️ 3-2-5 in possession, 4-4-1-1 off the ball).
- Rice is the only #6 in world football that could also become a world class #8. His ball-carrying, ability to attack space from deep, quick feet in tight spaces and ball-striking are all phenomenal assets for a more advanced player. I keep saying it, but he's the BEST out there.
- I can’t help the urge. Declan Rice is the best #6 in the world. I say it every game, but he proves it every time.
