How to ANALYSE a football match (Step-By-Step Guide)

my analysis when watching football: that boy nice

One of the first thing I look at in the analysis phase is the pressing. Are they pressing at mid-field well or not? And then I look at pace and tempo. And then I look at challenges, who is winning them. Are the passes accurate. I am not saying this guy is wrong. He probably knows a lot more than I do but I played soccer at the college level and have been watching the game for over 40 years and regularly read and analyze it. I watch Liverpool almost every week. I found it interesting that his eye is a lot different than mine and what I look for. But I also will learn from him.

Thanks so much Mr James. U broke everything down so beautifully. I just need now to apply it. Keep making such videos it's really helping future football coaches.

PERFECT EXPLANATION of analazing football!!

Subscribed. Very insightful, thank you.

Football is an instinctive and chaos game. I think many coaches playing chess but as a player you have to be free in your mind. every situation every game is different. in ball possesion players muss be free and find the free spaces on pitch on their own. In defense against the ball must be clear rules.

What match level would you recommend for start practicing this? e.g. A Div2 match would be easier to break down compared to a UCL match?

Love it, really practical and lots of tips to try out. I might even be able to identify why a team won or lost using these methods.

This is one of the most British vids I have seen. Football, Analysis of the football, the Attic window, the energy!!! You would be a great coach for em lads one day.

Cant wait to understand what these soccer commentators are actually talking about

can someone give me free watching websites?

Would be nice to see an actual game analyzed.

Is this good to watch if I’m a player

l tank you bro

gg

It's very useful

sending this video to amorim right now

Clear, useful tactical breakdown — love the step-by-step approach. Would welcome a follow-up on pressing structures and transitions!

thank you! i barely have friends irl to discuss football with and my family doesn't watch it so i know the game less than most. been so interesting watching analysis of matches even if i don't completely understand it

To the noobs, please don't over think it just watch and enjoy the game. I hate this overly tactical bullshit nowadays

Good one , never watch the ball , watch surrounding. That's how I watch games

Nice teaching. Hello, from Brazil. Today flamengo X palmeiras. I will analyse itt. Thanks.

Wrong shape ball

Thank you so much!!!

I wanted to play football

Great video... I gonna send this to Rubin Amorim

thankk u so much, love from Indonesian

I thought that i know much about football. After this video I understood that i dont know anything about the game.
Thanks for knowledge of analysis. Even in english (I am from Russia) it was interesting to watch

Dude... This video was quite something.

Why are there 12 players on your board, sir?😅

So, step 3 (identify patterns) takes places during 20 - 45 minutes right?

Thank u mate. I really appreciate your effort ❤

Yup. Spot on. When you do these things, football is far more fun to watch. If your just watching it and not knowing what your looking at, it does get boring and that’s with any sport. One thing that gets me is when at halftime sometimes managers make changes that are not direct swaps and since I don’t know single teams players, then it’s hard for me to follow what he plans on doing. Of course I can watch, but it would be helpful I knew more before it’s played out on the pitch. Players from midfield are also swapped into defensive roles because they’re capable of being defensive etc.

Stoo talking such shit about a simple game?

Football is not american football.where every move is planned.thus is how these idiots are trying to turn it into.football flows players move around the pitch.doesnt batter what no you have on your back.this crap about no10s no8s double oivit is just nonsense.peopletrying to turn them into robits

You can't analyse a game like football.unless it is played by robots he is talking shit.players move during a game.that is the game.what is this double pivot shit.

Football was at its best when it was 442 now its a total tactical bore fell out with footie lately aw this tactical pish spoiling the game 😫😫

Great video,style is important are they looking to C attack,or stabilise possession 1st ,how high do they push up,play with width,do they press,use offside trap

really good video !!!

How to get a video of the game so we can do analysis and which software do you recomended to do the analysis

At no point did you mention the effect a goal has on the coach’s ‘intention’ 😮🙈

F me, I've seen it all now. A guide to watching foorball. Put a pair of boots on and play the game.whatever your ability that will give you a much better insight in to the game than any video ever will.

Formations and tactics are ok until you lose possession and are counter attacked. Then watch most teams panic. That's when mistakes occur in defence.

If you are writing down you can't follow the full game flow

Great video! I’ve forwarded this onto Pep to help him with the 26/26 campaign 👍

First 10mins that U want us to sit and do nothing, PSG finished cooking Madrid. . So wetin come happen

Simply superb video! Thanks so much. Subbed.
