WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 08/12/2024
How did Nuno set up #NFFC to prevent #MUFC from playing the ball into central areas in the build up phase?🧵 Forest set up with MGW & Wood deeper, looking after the Man Utd CMs. The winger on either side is expected to push forward when the ball is on their side of the pitch.

Some poor off the ball actions from #NFFC led to the first two #ManCity goals on Wednesday night - let's have a quick look at them before we hope to see them rectified later today🧵

#NFFC pressed #ITFC more than they have any team since August - but how did Nuno set up the team?🧵 Forest limited Ipswich to under 9 passes for every Forest defensive action - the lowest number since the Wolves & Bournemouth home games.

I mentioned only last night after Brighton's first goal how I wanted to see #NFFC get more players into the box for crosses. And we saw an example of it already! This looks like a low-danger moment for Ipswich, but Gibbs-White's untracked run creates a great opportunity.

WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
Important to note that #NFFC restricted #ITFC to just 0.65 xG today from 7 shots - both numbers the lowest Ipswich have managed since 14th September.

Ola Aina action map for #NFFC v #ITFC Another good performance for Aina who was as reliable as ever today. Perhaps not as much action in the final third as he would've hoped, but overall a good day, ranking 4th on my Player Impact model.

Tyler Dibling was awarded tonight's man of the match award for #SaintsFC in a bright performance against #BHAFC. There are times where it looks like he's trying to do too much when carrying the ball in the middle of the field but he certainly looks to have a very bright future.

WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 29/11/2024
There's obviously more to it than this - but sometimes it can be as simple as putting men in the box. It's something #NFFC don't always do enough. Here #BHAFC are 4v4 in the box and each attacker is spaced a good distance apart from their team mate.

WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 29/11/2024
I think the battles on both wings will be very interesting for #NFFC & #ITFC. With Tuanzebe (40) likely to continue at right back - Ipswich will push Leif Davis (3) further up the field on the left when in possession. This could give Hudson-Odoi some good moments in transition.

A fantastic performance from #LFC's Conor Bradley - he assisted the first goal and kept Mbappe pretty quiet before going off with an injury. #UCL

Breaking down #NFFC's defensive tactics v #Arsenal, and the goals conceded🧵 It's clear from the outset that Dominguez is asked to help Moreno with Saka. I mentioned early in the game how important it was that the rest of the midfield shuffled left to cover the space.

Fantastic performances from both James Maddison & Dejan Kulusevski for #THFC in their 4-0 win over #MCFC

This last 30 mins or so will give us a decent idea if Jota Silva is indeed suited to a role behind the striker as a lot of #NFFC fans have been wanting.

WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
#NFFC will be happy that the scoreline is only 0-1 at half time.

WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
Disappointing start from a set piece perspective from #NFFC. Forest need to be more switched on in both the first and second phase.
010
WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
We may see Arsenal be a bit more patient in build up from goal kicks today without Havertz to battle aerially. Awoniyi will have to lead the line out of possession well for #NFFC

WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
No Anderson or MGW for #NFFC is a bit of a worry - perhaps makes the decision to start Taiwo easier, plus he loves a goal against Arsenal. Ward-Prowse was great at Anfield so a good opportunity for him too.

WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
These passing combination visuals show the lack of a press from #LCFC against #CFC in the first half. Colwill and Badiashile have exchanged 40 passes with each other - the majority being the Leicester half. Leicester have to change this to try and stop Chelsea from controlling the game.

WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 22/11/2024
Plymouth's Andre Gray came back to haunt his former club with 2 goals to earn the home side a point tonight. He ranked 2nd using my Player Impact Model.

Finally, we'll look at #NFFC's attacking players - first up is Morgan Gibbs-White. MGW's underlying numbers this season are very positive - but he's not been rewarded with goal contributions just yet with just 1 goal so far.

WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
As weird as it is to say, #NFFC and Chris Wood in particular may get some joy out of William Saliba who so far this season has had a huge drop in performances for #AFC.

WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
#NFFC will have to keep an eye on a rested Bukayo Saka this weekend. The #AFC winger may not have been at his absolute best yet this season, but he remains one of the most dangerous wingers in the Premier League.

WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
Today we'll look at #NFFC central midfielders - first up is Captain Ryan Yates! Yates has some solid defensive numbers and continues to improve year on year - but compared to other central midfielders in the #PL so far this season he is toward the bottom in my model.

WT Analysis @wtanalysis.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
#LCFC hit by the news that winger Abdul Fatawu is out for the season. There's no doubt his fantastic ability to carry the ball will be a huge miss for them. He's been operating at a good level this season, even if his goal and assist output hasn't showed that so far.

How do #NFFC defenders compare to others in the Premier League? Starting with Alex Moreno - he ranks well in all key defensive metrics, and using my Player Impact model is currently operating at a 'Lower Mid Table' level.

Noni Madueke is such an interesting player - he is very talented but for me there's still lots of question marks. Thought he was very wasteful tonight, and there's still huge question marks on him out of possession that will be shown up even more against better opposition.

Lewis Hall made his first #ThreeLions start in the win over #COYBIG - the #NUFC ranked 6th using my Player Impact model.

A fine performance from Megan Finnigan for @evertonwomen.bsky.social in their 1-0 #BarclaysWSL win over @liverpoolfcw.bsky.social. Finnigan ranked 1st using my Player Impact model, and was a very important part in the clean sheet which gave Everton their first win of the season.

#NFFC's Neco Williams had another solid game for Wales in their 0-0 draw in Turkiye. He was involved in so many duels today in his own half, completed passes at a rate 7% higher than expected, and had over 200 combined passing & carrying yards!

#NFFC youngster Jamie McDonnell scored a 98th minute equaliser for #ColU against #BCAFC this afternoon - his first professional goal! It was a battling performance from the midfielder who ranked 1st in my Player Impact model.

Matty Palmer had a decent game for a depleted #Notts as they lost their unbeaten away record in a 2-0 defeat to #CreweAlex. The central midfielder had a pass completion 6.5% higher than expected, and ranked 4th in my Player Impact model.

#Lionesses captain Leah Williamson made her 150th #BarclaysWSL appearance for Arsenal in their 3-0 victory over Spurs. She ranked as the best player using my Player Impact model, constantly moving the ball to dangerous areas with a total of 789 passing yards!

Aina is another example of #NFFC's great recruitment - in his last season with Torino he was restricted to just 9 starts due to injury, but during his game time he ranked as one of the better RBs in Europe.

I was very impressed by #LFC / #UTB youngster Ben Doak for Scotland tonight. Always looked dangerous when carrying the ball - look at all those carries toward the right of the box!

#NFFC's Ola Aina played 82 minutes in Nigeria's 1-1 draw in Benin yesterday. It was a good performance from him, ranking 3rd in Player Impact.

#NFFC's Nikola Milenkovic played the full game for Serbia in their 1-1 draw in Switzerland this evening. The centre back was very calm in possession, completing passes at a rate 12% higher than expected. He had 100% success rate in defensive actions too, ranking 7th in my Player Impact Model.

#NFFC recruitment recently has been spot on & it's not even the player's they've signed - Forest were heavily linked with Omar Marmoush and he has been on fire all season. Definitely out of our reach now, but I'm optimistic the recruitment team can find another gem...

A first assist in a #ThreeLions shirt for #NFFC's Morgan Gibbs-White. He ranked 6th in the match on my Player Impact Model, not a bad effort considering he only played the last 11 minutes!

Morgan Gibbs-White will look to get his 2nd #ThreeLions cap off the bench tonight - but here's a brand new look at him for #NFFC this season. Using my Player Impact Model, we've seen a marked improvement in his play this season compared to the previous two.
