Interesting scrutiny of Marti's tactics. Explains partially why our forwards aren't always that prolific and why we have so many different goal scorers.

Statistically we’re 10th in terms of goals scored and 16th in terms of goals conceded. Which is peculiar as I feel we are good in defence and not so good in attack.
The only explanation I can come up with is if you spend most of the time passing in your own half rather than the oppositions half then dispossession will impact the defence far more than the attack.
It’s an interesting listen into the philosophy but I wonder this, if another Clive Allen suddenly came through the ranks, or indeed a Taraabt, how would Marti handle that?

Really good question. Two typically different players in Allen and Taraabt though. I feel like Allen came up through the ranks/family connection and always felt quite orthodox whilst extremely talented. Where as Taraabt felt quite the opposite and took someone like Warnock to harness and play to his unique strengths. Marti appears much more of a team development manager rather than focusing on individual talents... kind of reflected in his squad rotation and strong use of substitutions. It would be an amazing problem for Marti to have though....

It could be that re: defence but I don't think we've conceded that many goals frrom giving up possession due to passing in our final third but more from losing our man in the box/overloaded in the PA. My sense is we've rarely had the same two CDs playing with our FBs for more than five or so matches. You always aspire to a settled defence; our DM has been an issue at various times due to an inexperienced then injured Varane, a long term injured Colback and a recently injured Field; we haven't always had anyone who could hang onto the ball up front with Chair and Frey both injured so it would often ping back putting unusual pressure on our defence; and, Dembele, Yang and Saito didn't track back leaving our FBs a bit exposed. (Saito is better recently and Colback/Field/Varane are providing more cover than Morgan, Madsen and Andersen did earlier in the season).
We've really stepped up goals from set pieces. I think the coaches should take credit. Sky recently said we've scored the fourth most set piece goals.

Fascinating stuff . Also reiterates the point that generally in Marti’s system, ‘penalty box’ strikers like Celar and even Kelman will struggle . Because he wants them to do more of unselfish work like Frey does. Not sure they can do it so MC will have to adapt . Apart from the obvious difference between our strikers and Lineker, shown in the clip, is Lineker had electric pace so could also run in behind so Cruyff had more ways to adapt and of course much much better players. Maybe it’s another reason why MC won’t be here next season ? Who knows ?
If he is and I certainly hope he is , he has to find a slightly different way of playing to Celar’s and possibly Kelman’s strengths

Agree and hope Marti does stay, but whilst Kolli has had injuries and I’m in no way comparing him to Clive Allen or Taraabt, I do get a whiff that Marti doesn’t know how to integrate him into the side.
I sense he likes players of ordinary ability that he can use the philosophy to improve their overall game but might struggle to integrate actual quality.

Watching the games you see Jimmy Dunne's work rate and presence in both boxes - but I'd not realised the stats placing him among the top few percent across the championship for touches in the oppo box and shots - strikers included.
Not bad for a CB convert to a RB! I hope CN is offering him a very good contract.
But, also, makes me more sure he'll be off in the summer. Which is a shame.
