Watching tape so you don’t have to. Tactical takes, data dives, and the occasional “he should’ve squared it.”

How good is god man

Most goals, most xG, and the most successful crosses in MLS. The Quakes are flying, and Bruce Arena has found the perfect system for this roster. My breakdown on the data and tactics behind the surge

Great player! I’m loving the Talent ID from the NFF recently.

🚨Derby County midfielder David Ozoh is waiting authorisation from the English FA to FIFA so as to be eligible to play for Nigeria.

On loan from Crystal Palace, he has two goals in 32 appearance for Derby.

If cleared, he is expected to replace Alex Iwobi in June friendlies.

The York vs Rochdale game has been the greatest ending I have ever seen in football. Wow.

[Timi Falusi @BehindTheFal]

Zaha’s box score doesn't scream 'must-keep' for a 33yo DP, but the data says otherwise. Between his G+, league-leading take-ons, and elite chemistry with Biel, his impact goes far beyond the box score.

Mapped MLS central midfielders by a combined defensive metric, duels per 90 multiplied by win rate, against progressive passes per 90.

Tverskov, Berhalter and Mehmeti stand out doing both at a high level through six games.

[Timi Falusi @BehindTheFal]

Why was Zubimendi so highly rated before Arsenal signed him? He doesn’t have any standout qualities.

[Timi Falusi @BehindTheFal]

@film_fortress I've highlighted it with a yellow circle, he's name is being blocked by Bonetig.

[Timi Falusi @BehindTheFal]

📊Aerial duel % vs prog passes per 90 through 5 MLS games.

-Trewin hit the ground running, Raul alongside him. NYCFC CBs looking good.
-NYRB CBs high in prog passes, Bradley's fingerprint.
-Makhanya bright spot for Philly.
-Elliot yet to lose an aerial duel.
-Boxall tough start.

[Timi Falusi @BehindTheFal]

He’s a very good player, should be on a Championship roster.

[John Morrissey @USLTactics]

ICYMI: Kyle Evans is that dude.

[Timi Falusi @BehindTheFal]

Andrés Cubas leads MLS in successful defensive actions in the opposition half with 21 through four matchdays, leading to 6 shots and 2 goals for Vancouver. I looked at who else is doing this work and what it means for their teams below 👇

@SincereFC Hey would like to send you a DM

Nolan Miller looking like the next SuperDraft hit for Orlando City.

[Timi Falusi @BehindTheFal]

Pablo Mastroeni is doing a great job with this RSL team. They are so well structured.

[Timi Falusi @BehindTheFal]

Let David Lee cook! Blorian is regarded as one of the best CBs in the league and entering his prime, the reaction from Beer Sheva shows how highly he’s rated. It sucks he doesn’t arrive until the summer, but being a free transfer helps by reducing the budget charge.

[Sporting Kansas City @SportingKC]

Reinforcing our defense 💪

We’ve signed center back Or Blorian to a pre-contract. We’re excited to welcome him to KC this summer!

Rodrigo De Paul was the only non center back to have more completed passes than him during the first weekend of games.

[Timi Falusi @BehindTheFal]

Tverskov is the heartbeat of this San Diego team, key to their possession-heavy system. His range is elite; whether dropping deep in build-up to break lines or pushing forward to provide the final ball, he’s the primary connector.

That he’s not a DP is crazy value for SDFC.

[Timi Falusi @BehindTheFal]

This didn’t look like a team “figuring it out.”
It looked like a team that knows what it wants to be.
Structure. Identity. Youth trust. Pressing clarity.
The early signs of the Michael Bradley era are real.

[Timi Falusi @BehindTheFal]

The Michael Bradley era in New York is underway and it couldn’t have started better.

The New York Red Bulls were the only away team to win on Matchday 1, starting three U18 players. Clear identity from day one. 🧵👇

When possession was lost, the reaction was immediate.
