Excited to launch @JamesTactics | your go-to source for in-depth football analysis. I'll be sharing tactical breakdowns, insights on Sporting CP & Manchester United.

If you break down last season, most of United’s dropped points under RA came down to fail to score first (or create at all), and poor goalkeeping. With Bruno, Ugarte, Casemiro, and Mainoo, I think we can survive by focusing on other positions first. RA's project at Sporting,…
People who believed midfield should have been our first priority, why do you think Amorim has been focusing on the whole new attack + goalkeeper before midfield? Give me Amorim’s perspective that you can guess.
Aight, seal of approval from Mourinho Now I can continue to ignore the opinions of “MartialEra” and “RashfordUtd” or “ConfusedMainoo” about Amorim or his 3 at the back
🚨🗣️ José Mourinho: "Today, I think that with the change of ownership, which doesn’t have a lot of football experience but knows sports, it brings more sensitivity [compared to my own experience when I was at the club]. What happened to Ruben [Amorim] is that he’s been the coach…

Having followed Sporting for 21 years and grown up watching Benfica and Porto lift title after title, there’s a special weight to what Gyökeres and Amorim have given this club. No matter who comes next, every new striker or manager will always be measured against them for me.
Unfortunate the way it’s ended but I’m eternally grateful for all the memories 💚https://t.co/lpe6Qi0P6i

🧵🚨 Why Manchester United should go ALL IN on Ollie Watkins instead of Jean-Philippe Mateta or Šeško 👇 United need a striker for their 3-4-2-1. Here’s why Watkins is the best fit tactically, financially & skill-wise. Here’s the breakdown #MUFC 👹
🤝 What they need around them: Mateta → wingers who serve him crosses & a settled midfield. Šeško → patience & low pressure. Watkins → suits a counter-based, vertical team w/ runners around him. Guess what United have? Mbuemo & Cunha running off a vertical CF.

Juventus might be the worst run club in the world
🚨💣 João Mário to Juventus, Alberto Costa to FC Porto… here we go! 🔀 Swap deal agreed after exclusive story on Monday night. 🐉 Alberto Costa valued at €15m plus €1m add-ons. 🤍🖤 João Mário valued at €12m. Porto will pay €3m plus €1m add-ons as compensation.
I've been seeing a lot of doubtful talk about Gyokeres from people who have barely even seen him play. As someone who has watched him every week for the past 2 years, I'll give my insight to the doubters and debunk some myths. Here are my 3 key points…👇
