Aberdeen FC: Goalkeeper must be a priority signing this summer, below is 3 keepers who fit how incoming manager Jimmy Thelin looks to play, and also should comply with the clubs transfer model. Player 1: ‘🎲The Gamble🎲’ Player 2: ‘💸 The perfect model player💸’ Player 3: ‘🪨The here and now🪨 Parameters: 1.A good shot stopper, the absolute fundamental part of goalkeeping. Pointless having a keeper with phenomenal feet if he‘s got poppadoms for hands. 2.Long Passing: Jimmy Thelin’s direct style of play required goalkeepers to be comfortable and accurate when playing long passes. Catching teams in the transition. We will take a look at success rate of passes at 40 yards is a good way to see this, but of course total passing %s is also important to get a full picture. 3.Sweeper: Elfsborg ranked 2nd in the league for ball recoveries in the opposition half last season, and attacks begin at an average of 44m from their goal. This high press style means the keeper has to be comfortable and natural coming off his line, / outside his box and not scared to take up aggressive or high positioning. This can be quantified with #OPA-defensive actions outside the penalty area. 4.Catching crosses: This one is not Thelin specific, One of the biggest frustration Aberdeen have had this season, is goalkeepers being rooted to their line as the ball comes in the box, this is an issue anyone watching could have noticed. Roos was terrified at coming out and claiming a cross and it ground my gears, would like our next keeper to dominate his area.

Very intrigued to see how this move plays out. Looked excellent at Lowland League level, such a handful for defenders. Big jump up to league 1 however

Tactics thread🧵: Thought I'd take a quick look at how Dunfermline gained the tactical edge over United in their 3-1 win on Friday Night ⬇️⬇️⬇️

In possession, Utd's use of inside forwards really restricted them and meant they were reliant on young RB Thompson to provide their width. Here you can see how isolated he was, being left to take on Edwards 1v1 down the line.

Another example of the space they failed to use in the channels, this time on the break. Grieve makes his run back across the defence, Thompson unable to keep up with play and exploit the space.

Morton doing a good job at denying Hearts space to play in central areas. Dealt with everything delivered into the box fairly comfortably. Very good defensive performance so far

5G/1A in 10, Yengi has been an excellent addition for Livingston so far. Really mobile for such a big physical presence. Must be a nuisance for defenders to play against

ICYMI ⬇️ I used data to look at some potential players Dundee may look to replace Owen Beck with at the end of the season📊📈
Going to spend some time over the next few days looking at some potential long term replacements for Owen Beck at Dundee. Beck's had a huge influence on his side and has produced excellent attacking output this season as can be seen in his profile below:

At 27 Milne is approaching his peak years, but after several seasons performing to a very high Championship standard he could be ready for the step up to Premiership level. Contracted until 2025, Dundee would have to fork out to purchase him, but could be a worthwhile investment
