Manchester United finalised the signing of 23-year-old Senne Lammens (193cm/6’4”, 92kg/202lbs) from Belgian Pro League side Royal Antwerp on Deadline Day for €21m.

Lammens is still relatively unknown, having made just one Belgian Pro League appearance before 2024/2025, when he became first-choice for Royal Antwerp.

One of the most reported Senne Lammens stats since his signing for the Red Devils is that Lammens had the highest number of ‘prevented goals’ based on xG faced in the top-10 leagues last season.

Still, there’s no guarantee the young goalkeeper maintains that level of shot-stopping over the long term, nor does it tell us anything about his style of play.

This Senne Lammens scout report uses data analysis to profile the new Manchester United stopper and provide readers with a sense of Senne Lammens’ style of play.

For the longest time, the footballing power in Hamburg was rather easily settled.

Hamburger SV was the city’s biggest club, while FC St. Pauli was the little brother that no one really believed in.

Despite having a very interesting history and a fair bit of success in the 2. Bundesliga, St. Pauli never really impressed in the Bundesliga for the longest time, never playing more than three consecutive seasons in the German top flight.

When the club managed to get promoted back to the Bundesliga after 13 years in 2024, expectations were rather low for that reason.

Young head coach Fabian Hürzeler decided to leave the club after the promotion, joining Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League, and top scorer Marcel Hartel joined St. Louis in MLS, so the outlook wasn’t great.

Still, under the new coach, Alexander Blessin, St. Pauli impressed in their first season back in the Bundesliga, avoiding relegation and even fielding the second-best defence in the league, second only to champion FC Bayern.

While this meant that some of their players received interest from bigger clubs and decided to leave, it also allowed the club to really invest in its squad for the first time in years.

Now, after three matchdays, St. Pauli and Blessin sit in fourth place in the Bundesliga with seven points from those games.

They decisively beat rival HSV in their stadium.

In this St. Pauli tactical analysis, we will examine Alexander Blessin’s tactics at St. Pauli, what they are doing well to start the season, and what we can expect from the team moving forward.

Wednesday night saw yet another stoppage-time winner for Arne Slot’s Liverpool.

Virgil van Dijk’s 92nd-minute goal gave Liverpool their fifth straight win, with four of those wins coming via stoppage-time goals.

Liverpool went two goals ahead in the first six minutes off a couple of fortunate bounces.

Diego Simeone’s side did not quit despite the early deficit and clawed their way back into the match with two goals from Marcos Llorente.

It was yet another match where Arne Slot’s team tossed away a two-goal advantage, which is very concerning for the Reds.

In the end, it’s three points for Liverpool, but Atlético Madrid gave them everything they could handle.

In this Liverpool vs Atlético Madrid tactical analysis article, we will examine Atlético Madrid’s build-up against Liverpool’s high press, how Liverpool set up tactically with Alexander Isak in the lineup, and how Atlético Madrid erased Liverpool’s 2-0 lead.
