Talking Tactics

Daniel Tiluk is joined by Muhammad Butt to discuss Harry Kane and Alexia Putellas winning the 2026 France Football Ballon d'Or. What were the arguments for Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, Erling Halland, Rodri, and Patri. Barcelona's week that was: Losing to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and Real Madrid in La Liga. What happened contextually that allowed Real Madrid to play their game. Defensive mistakes and stellar play from Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga. Vincent Kompany: don't kill yourself for this. Chelsea are rain in the desert for struggling managers, so hold tight Michael Carrick and Manchester United. Who calls the cops on a 3-year-old prodigy schooling an U5 team?

Daniel Tiluk is joined by Edoba (of the on hiatus Complicated Chelsea Show) to discuss Paris-Saint Germain 4-2 Barcelona: Can PSG be beaten at their own game? Bayern Munich 2-2 Arsenal: Following Harry Kane's positioning is a game within the game. (Also, Manchester United losing at Como.) Is there any enjoyment to be had watching Chelsea? The project is developing and entering a new phase. Lastly, a question for science: what solutions does Edoba have for Manchester City?

Daniel Tiluk is joined by Mike Goodman (of the Double Pivot Podcast) to discuss Barcelona's hot start to the season, Rodri's importance to their defensive structure, Lamine Yamal's steady growth into becoming the world's best attacking player, what do the numbers show about Real Madrid's lack of defensive structure, also Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jnr's tactical relationships. Arsenal are boring, but for the right reasons. What should happen with Manchester City? Carl asks from the group chat: What are some common misconceptions about analytics? Which starts a good conversation about the use and application of xG.

Daniel Tiluk is joined by Tosin Makinde to discuss Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham. The reasons behind United's poor trajectory under the Glazer family. Liverpool 0-3 Manchester City was an impressive performance after the red card, but what does it all mean in context of the 114 charges? Yan Diomande's rise from Florida high school football to Real Madrid seems a unique story, but perhaps he isn't such a unique talent in the American football landscape. Why does Nigeria create so many strikers?
