Liverpool vs Chelsea Analysis

Description

The video breaks down key moments in the game and provides you with a perspective that we are trying to teach with these chalktalk sessions. When you watch a game try to watch it with an analytical mind. From the commentators analysis I think you can take away the following lessons:

1. How quick freekicks can catch teams off guard.
2. Don't give the ball to the other team on a foul until your team is ready. Joe Cole should have fronted the ball.
3. How to read the flow of the game and see who is dominating.
4. In Malouda's case he should have shot earlier. He beat the defender and took an extra second to shoot.
5. Peter Cech's good positioning on Gerrard's and Torres' shots.
6. How not to clear the ball. Riise should have used his feet.

These are small examples of what you can look for when you watch a game. You can also look at the skills the players are using in certain situations and how they move offensively and defensively throughout the game. Take advantage of these learning opportunities when you watch the game. You will surprised at how it can help with coaching and playing.
