Why Premier League Teams Are Reviving False 9 - Tactical Theory 🎥
Today’s TFA Posts ⚽
Manchester United faced AFC Bournemouth in Gameweek 16 of the 2025/2026 Premier League campaign, and it was one of the most entertaining games for viewers, ending in a 4-4 draw.
It was, however, not so entertaining for both teams’ players and managers, especially for Manchester United, who were winning in the final minutes of the game before conceding the equalising goal.
Despite the loss, the Red Devils put on a solid attacking performance, showing they were very dynamic and ambitious in the attacking phase, and that’s what the team should build on for the upcoming games.
However, the defensive performance was worrying as the team conceded four goals at home and failed to protect their lead.
That’s what this tactical analysis will try to present, spot, and explore Manchester United’s defensive mistakes in this match and how to address them.
Jay Stansfield is a player who’s had real pressure on his shoulders from a young age and learned quickly how to deal with it.
Growing up around senior football through his father, the late Adam Stansfield, meant he was exposed to the realities of the game early, not just the academy version.
That grounding shows in how naturally he’s taken to men’s football.
After coming through Exeter City’s academy, he moved to Fulham at 16 and picked up first-team minutes while still a teenager.
The turning point came when his loan was repaid to Exeter.
Wearing his father’s retired number 9 brought a lot of attention, but instead of it becoming a distraction, he delivered.
Goals, intensity, and a real sense of responsibility defined that spell and set the tone for the next stage of his career.
His move to Birmingham City followed the same pattern.
What started as a loan quickly turned into something more substantial.
He became a key figure, earned the club’s Player of the Season award, and eventually secured a record permanent transfer.
His contribution in a title-winning, promotion campaign underlined that his progress was built on performance, not narrative.
At international level, Jay Stansfield has continued to move step by step through England’s youth sides, earning minutes in high-stakes matches and showing he can handle top-level environments.
This Jay Stansfield scout report and player analysis will take a closer look at his journey from Exeter to Birmingham, his development since leaving Fulham, and the qualities that point to a forward capable of operating at a higher level as his career progresses.
