#899 | Ed, Daniel and Danish tee up the new season through a tactical lens: what Ruben Amorim wants, what’s actually changed, and what still needs work. Pre-season hints at the same framework with sharper edges, plus what the new signings add. We get into movement and pressing, set-piece tweaks, and how the wing-backs role has changed, midfield balance, defensive structure - and, yes, the goalkeeping question. The plan and the pitfalls, are all on the table.
