The Tactics Show: Season Preview

#899 | Ed, Daniel and Danish tee up the new season through a tactical lens: what Ruben Amorim wants, what’s actually changed, and what still needs work. Pre-season hints at the same framework with sharper edges, plus what the new signings add. We get into movement and pressing, set-piece tweaks, and how the wing-backs role has changed, midfield balance, defensive structure - and, yes, the goalkeeping question. The plan and the pitfalls, are all on the table. 00:00 Tactics Show: Pre-Season Preview 00:46 Introduction 01:25 Season Preview Overview 03:04 Tactical Changes 04:29 Defensive Structure 09:59 Analysis of Midfield 13:39 Carlos Baleba Analysis 17:27 Bruno Fernandes Discussion 23:49 Big Spaces, Small Spaces 28:09 Set Piece Analysis 34:07 Goalkeeper Situation 41:09 Closing Thoughts and Season Outlook 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.
