Interesting graphic from BBC Match of the Day on strikers jumping successfully from Championship to EPL. Ighalo probably deserves to be remembered a bit more than he typically is.

Chris Wilder's 'attacking center back' system in action for Middlesbrough. Wingbacks and forward spread Bristol City backline and defender Anfernee Dijksteel surges into seam with penetrating run.

[Modern Football Analysis @analysismodern]

Good example by Derby County midfielder Max Bird of shooting early from a cleared set play, first time shot means Middlesbrough goalkeeper Joe Lumley unsighted through crowd and dives late.

The aggressive press of Middlesbrough, left wing back Taylor jumps defender while strike pairing of Connolly and Balogun suffocate switch. Central midfielder Tavernier cuts off obvious pass and even 'defensive' midfielder Howson well inside Derby half #MidDer #Middlesbrough

Good illustration by BBC MOTD on how Burnley central midfield duo of Josh Brownhill and Ashley Westwood prevented central passes into the forwards and forced play wide all game during a recent 0-0 draw at Arsenal #EPL #ArsBur #Burnley

[Modern Football Analysis @analysismodern]

The EPL saw 8 goals scored on Saturday January 22nd, with only 1 of them coming from a center forward (Ivan Toney, Brentford) #EPL

[Modern Football Analysis @analysismodern]

Illustration by BBC MOTD on how Aston Villa wing duo Emiliano Buendia and Philippe Coutinho play central in support of striker Ollie Watkins, while the fullback pairing of Matty Cash and Lucas Digne offer width going forward #EPL #eveast

[Modern Football Analysis @analysismodern]

Interesting emphasis by BBC MOTD on Southampton filling every defensive seam with an attacking player in recent 1-1 draw against league leading Manchester City #EPL #SouManC

[Modern Football Analysis @analysismodern]

A good lesson highlighted by BBC MOTD to remind young players to not get caught up in refereeing decisions during the run of play. West Ham defender Aaron Cresswell loses a step protesting a decision and concedes injury time winning goal to Marcus Rashford and Manchester United.

[Modern Football Analysis @analysismodern]

Elliot Lee, son of England international Rob impressed in the FA Cup 3rd round against Premier League opposition Norwich City. Lee completed 25 of 31 passes and tied for the team lead with 4 dribbles as The Addicks played well in a 1-0 defeat.

[Modern Football Analysis @analysismodern]

Subtle and interesting movement point picked out by Match of the Day over the weekend from Tottenham v Morecambe. Harry Kane curves run off ball, eliminating defender's angle to close ball down without fouling, leaving Lucas Moura room to score on counter.
