Rotation fails because the second eleven never trains as an eleven
A pressing trigger is labelled after we already know what happened
Average defensive line height is a number that describes no actual moment
The transition clock starts a second and a half after the transition began
Set piece models are running on far too few corners to say much
The overlap is a read, and we keep drilling it as a routine
The rondo teaches almost nothing about finding a passing lane
Train with the noise on, or stop pretending you coach communication
The Tuesday session is where most seasons quietly go wrong
We move full backs inside long before we teach them to receive there
Press the ball is the cue that quietly ruins a counterpress
We teach defensive distances and then forget to teach the trigger
Half-space entries are counted by drawing lines that are not on the pitch
PPDA falls apart in precisely the matches you wanted to use it for
Possession adjusted defensive numbers argue in a circle
A recovery run gets logged only when it fails to work
Two tracking vendors will give you two different sprint counts for the same match
