- Welcome back! Today we’re taking a look at Thomas Frank’s Brentford in Tactics Explained! After securing promotion via the 2020/21 Championship Playoffs, Brentford are performing better than any other promoted side in the 21/22 Premier League and a lot of that is down to Thomas Frank’s ingenuity and Brentford’s ability to make marginal gains count.

This season, Thomas Frank has set Brentford up in a 3-5-2. As you’d expect from a newly promoted team, Brentford are a very direct side and are quite happy using their physicality to gain advantages over the opposition. They create a lot of chances from open play through crosses, either from their wing backs, supporting midfielders or even strikers who have pulled wide. Without the ball Brentford defend in a compact 5-3-2 before pressuring the ball in a man to man scheme and if they can force turnovers, they’ll look to counter attack quickly. Whilst Brentford are well drilled, these tactics aren’t what makes them special.
Also owned by Matthew Benham, Brentford have taken a similar approach to FC Midtjylland and use analytics and data to find small advantages that they can use. Because of this, Brentford look to make the absolute most of dead ball scenarios. From corners, free kicks and even throw-ins, Thomas Frank has strategies that have been developed through mathematics and probabilities, stationing players in areas where the ball is most likely to land. Frank also spends time coaching inspired routines that catch their opposition off guard. Already this season Brentford have scored set piece goals against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and David Moyes’ West Ham United. But Brentford have also weaponised second balls and actively look to create 50/50 challenges with their opposition by putting the ball into areas of the pitch they’ve loaded with players. This generally gives them a numerical and positional advantage over their opponents which sees them win a lot of second balls.

Key to this strategy is the distribution of the goalkeepers: David Raya and Alvaro Fernandez, but centre forwards Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo are also important players. Toney operates as a target man and has already aerially dominated Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip this season, two of the Premier League’s best aerial defenders. Brentford play up to the striker and surround him with players who can receive the knockdown or challenge for the second ball, whilst strike partner Mbeumo runs beyond Toney as he looks for the flick-on.

Where do you think Brentford will finish this season? 🤔
13th
12th
11th
higher than United, probably? 😂🤣
Dave, will you please video like this on Wayne Rooney's Derby County & Scott Parker's AFC Bournemouth? Please...🙏🏻🙏🏻😉🤙🏻❤
You don't need a huge transfer budget to do well in the EPL. You can do well if you have excellent scouting, coaching and player development.
And tactics, unlike ole has
For a season or two and then they get found out all the time.
Physicality is one of the biggest reasons team do well which is not so evident in other leagues apart from Serie A which is why the difference between top teams and mid level teams is vast in say a LA Liga buLiga or Ligue 1
Please make a video about how Xavi will line up Barca and Xavi's tactics
I actually want Thomas frank or graham potter to be manager for Utd but they might end up like moyes tho
I'm hoping for potter but there's no talk of him at all
Underrated opinion! Both can build a tactical style, develop players, perform well over several seasons and help create an efficient structure.
Only issue is they've not had to control such a huge club or such huge players before, but if Fraudskjaer could do it, I'm sure they could as well.
Have some standards and recruit a winner like conte.
Lets be honest here, for all United fans, we can agree that most if not all of the current top flight managers could get a better tune out of the current United squad
Without a DM? I don't think so. A squad is only as good as its weakest link and United's is absolutely shit.
No they wouldn't. Stop trying to justify it by this season's form. We literally played better than this with a worse squad in last 2 seasons. Issue is ole and the coaches not able to have the ability to take the next step or be flexible. Most managers in the pl will also face the same problem. Just because a manager is doing well with a limited squad doesn't automatically mean if he gets a better squad he will do well. Nothing is guaranteed. Only a manager who is able to tactically adjust this team AND make us win trophies is the right one.
@@aakarmamtora3470 the United squad won't win trophies. For that either you would need all world class players or everyone together and united doesn't have both. In attack Ronaldo is completely focused on himself. Doesn't create doesn't help his team with anything other than score goals. Counter attacking he can't. Maquire is too slow for a high line de gea too bad with the ball and it goes on and on. For trophies you need chemistry something united doesn't have.
@@aakarmamtora3470 nobody can guarantee success but a better plan strategy and good playing style can help
Even my team united with all that reaches, resources couldn't build half of brentford's team am big admirer of them!!!!👏👏
Can Brentford stay up????
Yes easily
Irrespective of if they stay on top or not..at the moment it's very exciting to watch their matches and as a man United fan it's a relief to watch Brentford games.
Doing my deep dive on Thomas Frank Chelsea manager to replace poch soon.
class video 👏
Cheers Cameron 👊

Dion Cools from FC Mitdjylland to Brentford HERE WE GOO
Great Video as usual from dave
My Brentford boys!🤩
enjoy to watch Brentford these how you make a team
thanks dave
oooooh ur a legend dave !
After exploiting Arsenal tactics and leading them to stalemate against Brighton and Crystal Palace, Dave may lead Brentford to relegation scrap if Gaffers of other teams are watching.🤔🤔🤔
I’m pretty sure every club has analysis people who are better than Dave
@@rossjn3 Don't think u can include united in that statement
Good watch.
Can you do how Thomas Frank can set up MUFC if he gets the job???
Very impressed. They’re definitely not a pushover. All teams are wary of the Bees, and I think that if they can replace Toney during his ban with a decent striker the Bees will be up there with the best of them next season……HOWEVER all teams have bad patches and Brentford will too!
Drop a vid on David Moyes and West Ham’s tactics.
nice
Nice.
Can you please a video on napoli undefeated in Seria A
Thoughts on man united playing a 3-4-3?
Will need to drop a few forwards... what's your XI?
If they wanna play 3-4-3 they a attacking right wing back
@@StatmanDave De Gea, Telles, Shaw, Maguire, Varane, Dalot, Matic, Fred, Bruno, Cavani, Ronaldo
@@StatmanDave David
Maguire Varane Lindelof
Dalot. Matic. Pogba. Telles
Sancho Cr7. Rashford
@@StatmanDave do think if they switched to 3-4-3 wan bissaka will be a good right center back
Only Nordic Manager in the PL💯
Ole is Norwegian
OLE IN forever......Ole is the greatest manager ever
can you please make us a video of Ole's tactics ( am not making fun but does he has any tactics & if yes than please let us know ! )
They not only have a greater xg per 90 but also a lower xg per 90 impressive 😂
Wonderful insights, statman as always. U rock brother!
The bjp is evil
Love you Dave but comparing per 90 stats over a 9 game sample size vs 38 game is a bit dubious
What app do you use to showcase these tactics ?
So tough to beat,so annoying to play against
Brentford are going to have a field day against Man United, from open play and especially set pieces
no way
@@mariopranjic4306 👍🏽

Thomas is better than ole to be honest. If we make a swap deal of managers with brentford, i am sure brentford won't take ole in return.
Why isn't TF in the conversation for Utd job? If we want an up and coming manager, TF is a good option? At least he got a team promoted to EPL from EFL and not capitulating in games so far - that's a far better CV than clowns we have, who got teams relegated from EPL or struggled even in EFL.
I would like Thomas frank at Manchester united. If I were in charge I would sack ole and get favre in for 2 seasons then get TF or even ten hag.
The board want someone will listen to whatever they say + good profile for marketing.
Next utd coach davo?
I'm ur 1k like
yensen and yaaaaansen
Now our united fans wherever a manager do well.we want them to our team. Before ole, we wanted only players who play well.ole taught us to know about tactics is. Who ever comes after him will fear utd fans because we will know inside out of the tactics and players performance.
I wish this guy or Graham Potter manage United tomorrow. They dont need big budget but they know what to do.
Ole after 450 mil still lear how to press or defend corners lmao
sometimes i thank god fans don’t have so much power in decision making, imagine suggesting mid table managers for a club like United.
@@juwongowild1699
Have you ever watched those teams play at all ? By your LOGIC, Klopp and Tuchel were once Mainz manager, Poch was Southamton manager, Sir Alex was also manger at Arbedeen before came to United.
Potential Man Utd manager? 🥲
United should hire you. Sadly.
Not that impressive, all I see is long balls, crossing and set-pieces. Like Sheffield, won't take that long for opposing teams to find out their flaws, and it will be back to square one at the championship.
Its possible to have Sheffield's fate but burnley does long balls,crossing and setpieces too and they still stay in premier league for years
He can join Manchester United. They are looking for a manager urgently
he just killed manchester

How Man Utd Can Beat Liverpool in the 2021/22 Premier League... lol
He actually did prior to the game but ole didn't take note 😂
boring tactics from Brentford
Delete please !!!
