🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT

Introducing https://t.co/AUR8jy2vtS

A lot of people have asked me how I make my tactical diagrams, so I've made a web app that gives you access to my tactics board

For those who like to analyse using match footage screenshots, there also a screenshot annotation tool that makes that process 10x faster

The web app is still in MVP stage - it's not perfect yet, and I'll be updating it monthly to improve it

It works best on desktop browsers at the moment - I'm working on touchscreen functionality (although the tactics board is mostly functional on iPad)

If you use it, don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions, suggestions, problems or feedback you have 📩

Elite action from Pedri in the buildup to Barca's first goal vs Atleti

Finding the pocket in Atleti's defensive shape, turning & driving with the ball, attracting pressure, then releasing the ball for Fermin with the right timing

Man Utd had issues against Villa’s box midfield in the first half especially around Villa’s left halfspace where Manzambi dropped in to help create the overload

[JM @JMftbl]

@Aitch_GKR thanks 🙏 will add double-headed arrow option next update!

[JM @JMftbl]

ofc I’m biased but the amount of value in DrawTactics for coaches and analysts atm is ABSURD

Especially with the recent updates & the ones that are on the way

Constant evolution 🧬

Enjoyed watching Barca - Villa

Often 3+1 rest defence w/Rodri, two wingers holding width

Then Fermin, Raphinha, Pedri, Cancelo roaming across the width of the halfspaces

Emery's side unable to deal with the midfield overloads with Raphinha dropping in

⚽️ PSG’s positional rotations vs Villarreal

[JM @JMftbl]

Been annotating some video clips of PSG for tomorrow's Substack newsletter

Running out of superlatives for their rotations

Even sequences that don't lead to breakthroughs are fascinating to watch

Rarely seen a team create decisional crises for their opponents so relentlessly

[JM @JMftbl]

📐 Little addition to @drawtactics video analysis and screenshot annotation tools

You can now superimpose various zonal grids onto your footage (w/o drawing it yourself ofc)

[JM @JMftbl]

Many things to complement about this PSG team, but one key thing is that every player is comfortable carrying the ball and taking extra touches under pressure when necessary

This means they can manipulate the opponent and wait for the right option to become available

[Adika @Adikastakes]

PSG aren’t even playing football anymore . I don’t know what to call this

[JM @JMftbl]

📽️ Update to the video analysis tool in the @drawtactics web app

As well as improving telestration tools, I've found a way to export videos more smoothly

You can now create ~professional standard telestration straight from your browser on DrawTactics - no apps to download!
