Video analysis thread of Brentford's 1-0 win against Luton using @MetricaSports

Loved this from Brentford:

• Advanced to deep movement to overload the midfield

• Rotation to create space

• One full back provides width

• Other full back inverts to prevent a counter-attack

4-3-3 shape becomes a 4-2-4:

• Ghoddos pushes on to highest line

• Rotation to draw centre back away, creating space for last man run

Defending on a string:

• Switch to 4-4-2 shape

• Prevents penetration and progression in the wide area

• Forces Luton to either circulate the ball or go long
Most advanced Brentford man "on the string" is close enough to engage the man on the ball

Examples of Brentford being vulnerable to losing possession in their own half:

Example 1.) Loose touch

Example 2.) Three players compress the space, loose touch again

Example 3.) Man marking, one man left open out wide. Pressing trap set. Takes advantage of loose pass.

It's set to be a really tight game. A win here for either side significantly boosts hopes of automatic promotion.
