⚽ Six defenders against four attackers… so why are United still exposed?

My first breakdown looks at how Chelsea exploit United’s defensive transition.

A midfield challenge is bypassed, pressure arrives late and the covering defenders don’t close the gaps. The numerical advantage is there—but the organisation isn’t.

The coaching lesson? **Delay the attack. Recover centrally. One engages, others provide cover and balance.**

Created using my own HSC Analysis Studio 👊

Watch the breakdown and follow HelpSoccerCoach for more coaching insights.

**Premier League teams use half spaces to create passing options and difficult marking decisions for defenders.**

We’re introducing that understanding to our HSC U12s—helping them recognise where to receive, when to move and how to create space for a teammate.

If a defender steps out, can we exploit the gap? If they stay, can we receive and turn?

**Scan. Find the passing line. Receive with purpose.**

Been doing some analysis today, looking at United’s shape and what happens when they lose possession.

This first breakdown focuses on the distances between players, the space Chelsea can exploit and how one decision to commit can leave the back line exposed.

Also been putting my own HSC analysis software through its paces! 👀

Full video coming soon. Follow HelpSoccerCoach for the breakdown.

“Practise more.” Easy to say to a child. But practise what? How? And how do they know they’re getting better?

As a coach, I want children to leave a session feeling more confident, knowing what they’ve learned and wanting to come back.

But with one team session a week, there is only so much time to help each player. Some need more work on their first touch. Others need confidence using their weaker foot or making decisions under pressure.

Additional coaching gives us time to focus on those individual needs. The next challenge is helping children carry that learning into their own practice.

I kept coming back to one question: could practising football become something children ask to do?

That question led me to start building PowerPlay.

The idea is to turn practice into a game: skill challenges, scores to beat, rewards to work towards and opportunities to compete with friends — on a phone, with a ball at their feet.

There is a personal best to chase, a new challenge to try and progress they can see.

And it extends beyond playing at home. Our first PowerPlay kick-off event takes place this Friday, 16 October, bringing the skills, challenges and competition together in person.

For me, this is about helping more children find their confidence in football. To feel their effort is taking them somewhere. To have more reasons to keep playing, whatever their level.

PowerPlay is in beta, with plenty still to test and improve. I’d love you to take a look and follow the journey.

We ask children to practise. I’m building something that makes them want to.
