Good to hear he has been sacked.=d> If poor operators hold key jobs, the whole organisation is blamed. When FFA number 3, Rob Sherman, took part of the C Licence in Tasmania, he told all the participants that we were very lucky to have such a fantastic coach education team in this state. There are four of them, or three, now Kurt Reynolds has vacated the TD position. Unless Rob was a professional actor, he meant what he said. Kurt, Mike Edwards and Anthony Alexander are excellent coach educators. Dean May does brilliant demonstration sessions. After KNVB's Derkson and Schans, I was disappointed with what I had until exposure to these guys. A trained PE teacher, Edwards will soon be one of the best in Australia. Sherman is supposedly the best, but Edwards is already nearly as good. The selling point of the centralised course is better quality instructors, but we pay a third of the price to be trained by Edwards here in Regional courses. Already, the V League has improved immeasurably from the old SPL and NPL, simply with ME being the principal coach educator, training most of the coaches in FFA Advanced Education.

Was there a choice for the CDM to give a defence splitter, or was the turn and pass back the only option. Is the player always playing safe when options are available, or conversely do they always try for the killer ball. It can be done at the relatively simple level of say, 50% pass backs when a forward option was available, or it can get as complex as a play by play breakdown of passing options with analysis of individuals predilections.
A massive part of passing, is the ability of one's team-mates to create a diagonal passing lane. So the player with the ball at feet, can pass to a team-mate's feet, who can move forwards or play forwards.

For me the best example of a killer pass is the 9 to the 10 or the 8 through the central defense into the 18yr box.

1st Half (successful) 54 (94.4%) 42 (78.6%)
2nd Half (successful) 33 (93.9%) 28 (75%)
Irvine and, in particular, Brillante were effective in retaining possession, as the above numbers demonstrate; however, they were ineffective in when moving the ball forward.
Only one-in-four passes from midfield were classified as ‘forward’ passes.
By further breaking down the passing of Australia’s midfielders, looking at the intention of their passes and the outcome, it showed that Australia failed to move the ball through midfield and into advanced positions.
Possession Pass: (red) with the intention of keeping the ball
Penetration Pass: (blue) with an attacking intention which removes one or more active
Brillante Irvine
Possession Pass (successful) 64 (98.4%) 47 (93.6%)
Penetration Pass (successful) 23 (82.6%) 23 (43.5%)
Forward Pass (successful) 21 (81%) 18 (38.9%)
Basically, whilst Brillante maintained good (‘raw’) passing numbers, only one in four passes actually impacted an opposition defender. Irvine was slightly better, with one in three passes being a ‘penetration’ pass. To have 71% of passes from Australia’s midfield not impacting El Salvador was a clear demonstration of the problems the Young Socceroos’ faced.
Of course, these numbers also show that those passes (in particular for Irvine) resulted in a drastic drop the success of that pass.
If you are reading this Kate, one thing I've done with passes, is to define a 'difficult' pass. This is a good pass that has one of four characteristics. 1. Made under close defensive pressure from an opponent/s. 2. A defence splitting pass. 3. An eye of the needle pass. 4. A new one, a 'killer pass'. This is a term used within FFA nomenclature for a pass that splits lines. It means a pass that takes a few players out of the game. It can be exemplified in a CB passing to a number 10, taking the opposition midfielders out of the game. It is usually played on the deck. The best one I've ever seen, live, was a state league game. A screener, or DM, received tan angled ball from a CB, then with two touches, played a diagonal ball forwards to the number 9, who timed a perfect run to play one touch and scored with the second. 5 touches for a goal from one end of the pitch to another, all played on the deck. Another aspect of passing stats that can prove useful is to do an options analysis. This looks at the movement and positioning of the team as a whole or, more in keeping with passing success stats, can be used to look at why the player is making the sort of passes he/she makes. Was there a choice for the CDM to give a defence splitter, or was the turn and pass back the only option.

It can be done at the relatively simple level of say, 50% pass backs when a forward option was available, or it can get as complex as a play by play breakdown of passing options with analysis of individuals predilections. Another fun one for dribblers is to simply count the passing options open at the beginning of the dribble as opposed to the end. It is a nice simple measure of a dribble's effectiveness.

1 yes I liked Peter de roo,like gareth edds and Ian banarto to name only a few.
2 I can not see how you can be a TD and not be able to play football or understand the game.
3 Local football needs a kick in the arse to help the kids out.I have watched these committees technical directors and self appointed gooses ruin it for years but i am soon going to change all of it.
4 That does not mean their football experience should not be enjoyably and no plagued by dickheads
Unlike you i do not just sit back and dig i do something I have for the last 8yrs and wait till next year. Time to sort this shit out. Now please just piss off.

Krones, if you are having doubts, one is never too old to acquire new knowledge.
I'm 56, but I'm constantly being inculcated in new football methodology. My only killer, is having to participate physically out on the pitch in coaching courses, as it kills me. 40% of the coaches in Australia are over 50 too. One participant was even 73! A bloke who used to be a coach educator.
In the C licence, it was really hard getting enough players out on the pitch, as about a third were over 50 too. I was told before the course we would have NTC players to work with most of the time, but we only had them for a few days.

We have quite a few blokes involved in rep football, SAP, association or national TDs, or state league, who are coaching at a similar level, or much, much higher than me.
It would be interesting to see what Possession Football, Gregory Parker, Andy Jackson, Brew, Forever Football, The Football God and Steelinho, think of Kate's aforementioned article.
I know these guys are casual visitors, apart from Andy, but it would be interesting to hear their insights.

Or am i just too old for this game? I'm not sure we've had anything about this in Tassie. Playing hard fast balls has been emphasised, in order to minimise the intercept. Also, that players have a competent enough first touch to receive those really hard hit balls. I was up past your way recently, Krones, from Cairns upwards. I was surprised at the low profile football had in the print newspaper, compared to Tasmania. State league football is catching up on state league AFL for column space, which is amazing. Also, even if you have a regressive coaching regime in your area, as you have seen, a replacement, like Peter De Roo, can change things for the better dramatically. A lot of old guys are being pressurised to change and adapt, or, forced out. The younger generation of coaches, certainly through FFA, are inculcated in more technical football.

Both Hoole and Pain stayed wide, with the intentions of knocking the ball past their defender and into the space in behind. However, this made them easy to contain for the fullback. Only on a few occasions, and early in the match, did Australia mix things up by playing early switches to the wingers, and Pain moved inside. However, as the match wore on, the attackers became predictable.
Pain and Hoole stayed wide in AT and BP, because they had the chance to break the line, by beating their opponent with their first touch. The other option was to cut inside and shorten the distance of passes, by moving towards the ball carriers as they receive the ball, playing a bounce pass, then turning and running around the outside of their opponent hoping for a quick one/two.

Spain, of course, are the international benchmark of modern possession football. When they pass with a slow tempo they do so for a reason – to get their attacking structures set to allow them to break open the opposition’s defence. As soon as they’re ready they play quick, incisive passes to create opportunities. Australia’s off-the-ball movement was too static to allow that change of tempo to occur.
Good point. However, it wasn't a question of being too static, but a case of Australian advanced players being unable to shake their markers. More fakes and dummy runs were needed by attacking players. Spain are very good at rhythm changes.

Both Hoole and Pain stayed wide, with the intentions of knocking the ball past their defender and into the space in behind. However, this made them easy to contain for the fullback. Only on a few occasions, and early in the match, did Australia mix things up by playing early switches to the wingers, and Pain moved inside. However, as the match wore on, the attackers became predictable.
The staying wide is axiomatic within top European coaching methodology, KNVB or FFA NC. A team compresses/condenses in BPO, or Ball Possession Opposition. The idea is to make the pitch as small as possible and restrict space. As soon as the Attacking Transition ( AT) occurs, and subsequently the BP or Ball Possession, the idea is to make the pitch as big as possible, to stretch the opposition. So, the wingers staying wide was considered good practice. What would have been better was for the CBs to play to the the full backs, who then in turn could have played diagonal balls to the two screeners in midfield, through the creation of diagonal passing lanes. The screeners could have played the ball diagonally to the wingers. Or the CBs could have played diagonal balls to the screeners. The 3 playing to the 8, or the 4 playing to the 6. Then it would have been easier for the two wingers to receive the ball with the body shape favourable to playing forwards and having the whole field of play visible.

Australia demonstrated an inability to change the speed of their ball movement. They failed to, after circulating the ball around slowly, coordinate off-the-ball movements to open up space in attacking areas
What a good team does, is vary the speed of ball movement through rhythm changes. Initially, Baan and Berger identified this as a weakness in Australian teams prior to 2007.
