The Athletic FC Tactics Podcast

Festive Football Tactical Notebook

In this episode, we navigate through the feast of festive football.

With so many games played in such a short space of time, we pore over the tactical tidbits that have emerged.

From Fulham in a back five to Chelsea leaking goals to yet another weakness in Manchester United.

We also look at Arsenal’s Saka-shaped hole, which type of passes Manchester City seem unwilling to play and much more.
