Leg Vise on a 2×4 Workbench

When I started woodworking I often dreamed of a solid woodworking workbench that had a few heavy duty vises installed. It wasn’t until about 7 years into woodworking that I made a nice woodworking workbench. One of the main draws for that workbench project was to have a heavy duty leg vise installed. And after ...

Paris Saint-Germain 2016/17 Tactics: Emery’s European ambition

It’s not very often a club that’s won four consecutive league titles, and lifted a domestic treble last year, is counted as under-achievers but it’s far to say that many expected more from Paris Saint-Germain on the European stage. Ahead of 2016/17, it’s been a summer of change for the French giants and there’s plenty of expectations.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is of course gone, having spent fruitful years in the French capital and establishing himself in the club’s history books as the all-time leading goalscorer, but he couldn’t guide Le Parisians to European glory. To achieve that ambition, Unai Emery has been drafted in to replace Laurent Blanc after he led Sevilla to three consecutive Europa League crowns.

A fresh new approach could be exactly what PSG need and Emery will look to find balance in a side full of stars- and this is how he could line-up next season.

After 35 appearances and 19 clean-sheets in his first year with PSG, Kevin Trapp will continue between the sticks for the forthcoming season. Ahead of him, the defence is also recognisable with Brazilian duo Thiago Silva and David Luiz as the centre-back pairing, whilst young Marquinhos will also be pushing for regular football.

With Serge Aurier, who enjoyed a fantastic match and scored a brace against Inter Milan in the International Champions Cup, on the right and Layvin Kurzawa on the opposite side, PSG boast two exceptional young defenders and they will be crucial for the club’s aims this season.

A massive addition to the side comes in defensive midfield, with Polish international Grzegorz Krychowiak following Unai Emery to the club from Sevilla. His experience and pedigree in Europe will be a major asset and his role in the side could bring the best out of the midfield duo playing ahead of him.

With Krychowiak providing a defensive cushion, both Lucas Moura and Marco Verratti can enjoy more freedom in their midfield roles- which could be the making of one of Europe’s finest midfield duos. Whilst Moura has been accustomed to playing out-wide, this position will give him more game-time.

Moura’s lack of opportunities out wide will come down to the pair who get the nod ahead of him, with Angel Di Maria finding his feet last season after a disastrous spell with Manchester United and Hatem Ben Arfa, another new signing in Paris, also redeeming himself last season after a torrid few years.

Ben Arfa managed 17 goals in Ligue 1 last term, a tally only three players could better. Meanwhile, Di Maria scored ten goals and provided 18 assists to his team-mates. Add Edinson Cavani to the mix as the central striker and it’s an extremely threatening line-up, with the trio contributing to a combined total of 75 goals in Ligue 1 last term.

Securing the Ligue 1 title should once again be a walk in the park for PSG, with the likes of Lyon and Monaco not having enough to threaten their crown, but it’s in Europe where Emery will be judged- and the club’s billionaire owners will be looking to improve on their recent record.

Since their return to Europe’s elite competition in 2012, PSG have tumbled in the quarter-finals on all four occasions; losing against Manchester City, Barcelona (twice) and Chelsea- teams that, on paper at least, the French giants should be able to overcome if they play at their best.

Liverpool 2016/17 Tactics: Klopp’s Gegenpressing Game Plan

Having settled into his role as Liverpool manager following his appointment at Anfield in October, Jurgen Klopp will be preparing for his first full campaign as Reds boss and, as such, he’s ventured into the transfer market in order to make signings that will help the Merseyside giants reach their previous lofty heights.

Liverpool have underperformed in recent years but Klopp immediately showed improvements at the club, helping them reach the League Cup final against Manchester City and the Europa League final against Sevilla. Whilst the Reds lost both games, it showed Klopp can make a big impact and he’ll be expected to build upon that this year.

The German boss has made a number of signings so far this summer, bringing in six new faces, but not all of them will be first-team regulars. The biggest changes for Klopp tactically will likely occur in attack but it’s the shaky back-line that’s been the focus of transfer activity and should not be bolstered, with a team that can fulfil Klopp’s preferred pressuring game.

In goal, new signing Lorius Karius is expected to feature ahead of Simon Mignolet and the back-line in front of him will also feature new faces, most notably Joel Matip- who arrived from Bundesliga side Schalke on a free-transfer, a deal that was confirmed prior to the transfer window opening.

Mamadou Sakho has faced problems this summer, having been sent home from the club’s pre-season tour in the United States, but Klopp has stated it’s nothing too serious and the French defender will not be offloaded. As such, he’s expected to feature alongside another player who’s endured some troubles, Alberto Moreno, as thus far the Reds haven’t been able to find a replacement.

Nathaniel Clyne completes the defence and he, alongside Moreno on the other flank, will push forward regularly and put the opposition’s wide players under a wealth of pressure. In the counter-attacking style Klopp likes to adopt, these two players will be crucial in getting things rolling quickly.

In midfield, Georginio Wijnaldum is another new signing and the Dutchman will provide a blanket of cover for the defence- although he’s still capable of making an impact in attack. Captain Jordan Henderson is also likely to feature in a midfield three whilst Emre Can, who’s been crucial to Klopp’s tactics at Liverpool, will complete the trio.

As mentioned, the attack is where the biggest tactical changes could occur as Klopp has three big names to choose from- although none of them are natural strikers. Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane should complete the line-up and all three may play centrally, although in our selection we’ve featured Coutinho in a false-nine role.

Coutinho is much more effective in the centre but the same can be said for Firmino, so expect the Brazilian pair to be dynamic and fluid. On the other side, Sadio Mane has shown his attacking credentials with 21 Premier League goals for Southampton, including the fastest hat-trick in Premier League history.

Firmino is probably the most capable player in Liverpool’s ranks of spear-heading the attack but expect it to regularly change, keeping the opposition on their toes. If Klopp manages to sign a striker between now and the end of the window, then a big decision will be made as to who is dropped from the eleven we’ve selected, and there could still be some modifications in defence- depending on whether any new faces come in.

Chelsea 2016/17 Tactics: Conte’s Tactical Masterclass

After leading Italy through a very respectable Euro 2016 campaign, that featured some tactical masterclasses to overcome the likes of Spain and take Germany all the way to penalties, Antonio Conte will be looking to have a strong impact upon a Chelsea side that were poor last season.

The lack of European football next term may well have affected his planned transfer activity, with Michy Batshuayi and N’Golo Kante the two names brought in so far, but Conte’s impact at Stamford Bridge will be far more significant than just splashing the cash on new faces.

In fact, Chelsea’s overhaul could see an entirely different formation adopted, with Conte favouring a 3-man defence, but until he has the plays in his squad capable of doing that, a 4-2-4 will certainly suffice.

Thibaut Courtois will certainly take his place within the sticks, having shown himself to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and a new central-defensive partnership ahead of him is likely to see the exciting young talents of Kurt Zouma balanced with the experienced head of Gary Cahill.

On the flanks, Cesar Azpilicueta will switch to his favoured right-side of defence, rather than the left-side he’s adopted at Chelsea for numerous years, and that shift will allow Baba Rahman his chance to sign after arriving from the Bundesliga 12 months ago.

Midfield pairing Cesc Fabregas and new signing N’Golo Kante will have a big task in this set-up but the duo should complement each other, with Kante’s hard-working and defensive attributes allowing Fabregas to provide a better impact further forward- like we saw in his first campaign with the Blues, where he was a key-part of Jose Mourinho’s Premier League winning side.

Supporting the attack from the wings, in a formation that’s a more attacking take on the standard 4-4-2, club Player of the Year Willian will be looking to build upon his fantastic last season. On the opposite side, Eden Hazard will aim to have a better campaign than he did under Jose Mourinho and Guus Hiddink.

Finally, the attack will see fan-favourite Diego Costa partnered with an exciting, and expensive, addition in the form of Michy Batshuayi. The Belgian international scored 26 goals in 62 Ligue 1 appearances for Marseille overall, so has the attributes to excel in English football.

As mentioned, the line-up could shift depending on what incoming deals Conte manages to pull off between now and the end of August and there’s still many players in the squad that could force their way in- including Pedro Rodriguez, John Terry, Nemanja Matic and Oscar.

Manchester United 2016/17 Tatics: The Mourinho Effect

With less than a month until the start of the Premier League season, fans across the globe will be excited ahead of the feast of football on show- and Manchester United could be one of the most exciting sides in the division.

Jose Mourinho has taken charge of the Red Devils and has already made three excellent signings that make his potential starting line-up for the 2016/17 Premier League season a treat for the eyes…

The Portuguese boss is known for his robust tactics that shut out the opposition, making the back four crucially important, but Mourinho’s sides have always held a strong attack and it will be no different at Old Trafford.

David De Gea will certainly be the man between the sticks and United can thank their lucky stars that Real Madrid decided against returning for the player this summer. In front of him, the back four will undergo some changes.

Matteo Darmian could be on the way out but, currently, he’s a shoe-in to start on the right side of defence, although Mourinho will demand improvements. In the middle, a new partnership will see £30m Eric Bailly and veteran Chris Smalling combine with the aim of providing an impenetrable attack. Finally, Luke Shaw, who spent the majority of last season injured, will return to the frame.

That back-line won’t venture too far forward, except for set-pieces, so Shaw and Darmian will both have to cope with increased defensive responsibilities.

Mourinho’s midfield may find it difficult to strike a balance but the trio we’ve chosen provide a mixture of creativity, defensive strengths and pace. Michael Carrick will be the deepest of the trio, sat in front of the back four, behind captain Wayne Rooney.

Having performed well for England in a midfield role, it’s expected the club captain will adopt this role for United; especially given improvements to the attack that mean there may not be a place up-top for the veteran.

Completing the midfield is Memphis Depay, who may just thrive under Mourinho like Eden Hazard did during Chelsea’s title winning campaign despite the fact he failed to impress properly during his debut season at Old Trafford- but he’ll know Jesse Lingard is ready to step-up, if necessary.

Finally, a fierce attacking trio sees young superstar in the making Anthony Martial threaten from the left, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan, an assist king who managed X assists in the Bundesliga last season, providing a different threat from the right. The central figure is of course Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who will be keen to impress in England having scored a record-breaking X goals during his time with Paris Saint-Germain.

With options on the bench like teenage sensation Marcus Rashford, Spanish international Ander Herrera and the exciting Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Mourinho certainly has a squad at his disposal that can challenge for the Premier League title.
