At last, the Football Fanalytics Podcast has reached its half-century! In Episode 50, we delve into a tactics-based topic where we break down the advantages and disadvantages of different defensive structures. What are the differences between a low vs mid vs high block? How can each of them be effective and what does it force the opposition to do? What is the risk vs reward of each defensive block? We cover all the above and more, before diving back into the Fanalytics mailbag and answering your questions — however quirky they may be!
