Football analysis starts with the question the match answered
Tactical analysis should begin with the match question, then use moments and data to explain the answer.
Start with a question
A good analysis piece is not a list of moments. It starts with the main football question: pressure, spacing, transitions, set pieces, build-up or a matchup.
Use evidence
The article should cite match events, lineups, tactical changes and statistics when they add clarity.
Stay readable
Analysis should explain the game without drowning the reader in jargon.
