One really cool element about the new in and out of possession shapes is that players who want a more relationist shape when in possession (tilted over to one side for example) can do so whilst maintaining a strong, balanced defensive shape such as a 4-4-2. #FM26

Utterly astounding that Mason Mount works well in a formation that he *checks notes* …won the Champions League in. #MUFC

I am going to have to manage Newcastle Women on #FM26 because this is infuriating now. The system they’re playing is not working and the players don’t suit it. It’s not hard to see.

"Not Even in Brazil: Liverpool in 1987/88" by Jonathon Aspey The story of one of the greatest teams in both Liverpool FC & British football history – a side whose superb style of play Sir Tom Finney believed couldn't be bettered, 'not even in Brazil'. More:📕amzn.to/46gRuUC

My book is out today! Please find below a link to Not Even in Brazil, the story of the glorious 1987/88 Liverpool side, the great players and great games that made it a season to remember at Anfield. Pitch Publishing 📚 Sports Books #LFC 🔴 amazon.co.uk/Not-Even-Brazi…

🆕 Worked on a 5-step process for converting FM24 tactics into #FM26's dual formation system. Attempted: 🎭 Role Mapping (FBs & WBs table attached) 🗣️ Team Instruction Mapping 💡 Examples for Gegenpress, Tiki-Taka, Counter-Attack + OOP Design Principles + Common Issues & Fixes

Was made up to have shared my thoughts with Jonathon for this. A season often overlooked. Check this out Reds. You will enjoy. Jonathon Aspey 👌🏼 #LFC

I’m finding the narrative about this so odd. He’s been injured, and wasn’t really fit to play Atleti, hence he didn’t start against Villarreal. There’s also a good chance Real have asked us not to call him up in order to allow him to regain fitness.

I genuinely remember being so happy with the 8-8 season in 2010 with Jason Campbell at QB. Man, the Raiders have ruined me. #RaiderNation

Needless to say, I am incredibly proud of this one. I wrote about this side years ago for These Football Times, and to turn it into a book is very much full circle.

My copies of Not Even in Brazil have arrived! Thank you so much to Pitch Publishing 📚 Sports Books, and I hope that everyone else that has ordered/bought the book enjoys reading it as much as I did writing it! #LFC 🔴

Really tempted to create some kind of Glasner mid-block 3-4-2-1 on #FM26. Mid block, aggressive pressing, 5-4-1 shape in defence. Lower possession, plenty of counters, aggressive wing backs, solid defence (very much my thing).

Hungary playing Relationist football is beautiful to see.
