Out-think the opposition over 90 minutes

Inspired substitutions and subtle changes in formations – as footballers we all know the impact that tactics can have on results.

But great tactics don’t always rely on brilliant minds and hi-tech analysis. In the LSPL this month we take a look at the basic exercises that can lead to big improvements in any team’s game.

Liverpool Academy Coach Stuart Gelling knows the training ground routines that can help at all levels and he is passing on tips to sides throughout the country this season. His advice is invaluable for squads that struggle to develop clear-cut chances in the box or that tend to allow the opposition too much time and space on the ball.
