Derby County managed to stay up by the skin of their teeth, securing safety in the EFL Championship with a 0-0 draw on the final day of the season.
In one of the more surprising moves of the campaign, John Eustace left promotion-chasing Blackburn Rovers in February to take over at Derby County, who were only outside the relegation zone on goal difference at the time.
One of the biggest reasons they survived was their set-piece threat.
Derby County scored 22 goals from set plays this season—more than any other team in the league, according to WhoScored.
That’s nearly half of all their goals, showing just how crucial dead-ball situations were.
Eustace also brought in Stuart Reid to help turn set-pieces into a real weapon, rekindling the relationship from Blackburn last year.
This tactical analysis will examine John Eustace tactics during set pieces, focusing on how Derby use structured movements to exploit space and unsettle defensive setups.
AS Roma beat Fiorentina last Sunday in an entertaining match.
This helped the Giallorossi move closer to fourth place, which would qualify them for UEFA Champions League football next season.
In this AS Roma vs Fiorentina tactical analysis, we will explore the Claudio Ranieri style of play and his game management.
This analysis examines the Roma strengths that are helping them win points consistently and their weaknesses that still need improvement.
At the same time, the Serie A tactical analysis will study the Fiorentina tactics under Raffaele Palladino and assess their performance to discover what they lacked at the Stadio Olimpico.
