Left Back | Every Touch I Took Game Analysis 

I was at this game. Got to meet and take a picture with you at the end. Well worth getting completely soaked.

Matt you’ve been killing it lately, played a great game on the wing at the weekend in the derby

17:24 Zero body faints.... Come on Matt~

Ohhhh man you are killing it this season really. Through hard work and dedication you became an indisputable starter in the USL. It would be insane to see you join an MLS squad or simply get a trial🙌⚽️

Matt, awesome to see such a great, in depth analysis. I play LB so it’s good that I can apply your analysis of a pro player into my game!

Honestly one of my favorite performances of you so far Matt. Your comfort on the ball and decision making was so fun to watch, not to mention the combination play between you and your team mates. All that consistent hard work has given you the consistency you need during the big moments. Great work!

I never get bored of the "i can flyyyy"music

these videos are great because they teach you how to read a game from his position and just as a whole

I play left back also and I like how you explain and what I could do better thank you !

One of the best self analysis of the game.. we always learn from some of our own mistakes😊

Love this! Lots of love from India 🇮🇳

watching your games recently, and have watched the old ones u can tell you have improved

Omg thanks so much for this video you are truly amazing!!!!

I’m following you from now on, I do play a left back position too and this video of you playing in the same position would definitely help in the coming days. I want to improve in many ways for sure. Thanks for the analysis:)

Great video mate 🙌 got many many tips and tactics absolutely loved it keep up the grind ❤️ Love from India 💝

AMAZING COMENTARY ! PLEASE KEEP THIS UP.

Great to see you in defence again. Keep up the good work

I'm 32 and decided to start playing again this year after over 10 years of not touching a ball. Your channel is a great resource for all things soccer, from tactics to technique to fitness and everything in between. It's great man. I'm also coaching girls varsity at a high school and all this info will be very helpful. Keep it up!

Hey can you make a video on How we can build muscle in teeanage years better?

love your analyses, you are the best

6:33 thats why when we warm up with the Team everybody Has to be in a line

Good analysis starting soccer now and decided on LB as my position and u have given me a good understanding on how to play and how to check ur surroundings thank you

hii .... I got smal advicee probably you know of is just when u r on your way to cross try to perform cruyf turn or any type of turns and then make ur own decision to cross or to cut inside specially when u are right footed playing in the left back

Love from India ✨🇮🇳 learning a lot from you ❤️

I love your soccer/football IQ. Just brilliant

when are we gonna see you in the MLS

Somehow stumbled across your channel. I also played for Westside metros, coach was Monty Hawkins. Study Bitcoin. While you have downtime on the road. Good rabbit hole and worth your time. Keep going man.

Sad I couldn't watch this in person! I know it stormed on the second half lol

Thanks our coach told us to see how left backs move or defense in general!

love hearing the tactics

Was wondering if you could make a video on what separates an amateur from a professional? And I always wondered why some leagues aren’t as tough or competitive as another like la liga compared to MLS, a video on that would be great as well like what does it take to become world class footballer in a top team?

Topic for 2 minute Tuesday : Sugar and its safest substitutes with their side effects

love it bro!!

I love this please do more of these analysis

Im left back and Im really greatefull for this video love you man

Good work ..!

I live in Alabama and was less than 1 hour away from that I didn’t even know y’all had a game that day

Finally a fullback video

5:57 Food for thought, had he touched the ball forward and clipped a pass into his left winger, he woulda possibly took 4 guys out of the picture and put his forwards a 3v3. Yea now just lmk why I’m wrong

Hey Matt love the content mate keep up the good work

Good game Matt, keep it up bro!

Great Video

What a play what a goal 🔥🔥19:00

7:28was definately not offside their cb was playing them onside

I was a 2nd string center midfield on a top ranked D3 team... I once got a full 45 min half at Left Back. Coach never explained why he put me there but it's probably the easiest position on the field. Plenty of time on the ball, less fitness required than midfield, not as much accountability as center back or sweeper.

Good 2nd half. Take a touch inward before your left footed cross. You’re swing is chopping across the body and there’s not enough pace on the ball from that far out.

wow that play at 19:05 is too good

I’m a fullback for my team and was a right footed right back but have been moved to the left. Do you have any tips as I’m right footed

Good video bro

Left back is the best position 👌

Can you ask Jerome how his time at Miami was? Team seams like it’s not a team bro. No need to name drop, just overall impression of experience.

12:10 hate to break it to you but he did get a touch. Idk if it was before or after the contact but he did get the ball

Matt I’ve got a question, would u have to work a normal job after being a soccer player..?

That decision making at 1:50 was god tier

Top performance

Matt when you were in high school did you have friends or people who would practice with you because I am 13 and feel like I am the only person in my middle school or even soccer teams who love to play the sport. If not how did you do certain practices that you need a second person for?

Hey please can u do one video same like this one for "how u were moving without the ball and why did u move like that"

How to deal with anxiety and boost my confidence????

Obviously I'm not one to say anything but I think if you could use your left a little more it would help you a lot. It would give you a lot more options. But again I'm no professional player, so my advice might be wrong.

14:48 it was a good ball!!!

7m 27s in.. how is that offside ? Not even close. Great analysis by the way.

Could anyone let me know if there is a RU-vid channel like this or a video like this but analyzing a center mid

Hey matt i have a small question is it ok to train while i am fasting (no water and food till sun rise to sunset) or i shouldn't train

bro Cunningham is always on bench i swear hes good but they dont play him

💯🔥

Love from India

With the pre-game activation how long before the game do you recommend to do it?

19:11 when u in the hood

5.6k views and only 598 likes…. C’mon people everyone knows these game analysis videos are like gold. Let’s do better

Hey matt if im a LW and am going to press the RB where should i press? Should i make it so that he can dribble inwards? Or do i block the inside of the pitch so he can only have space in the touchline? Im confused in how to press as a Winger

wouldn't it make sense for you to not play LB if your left foot isn't your strong foot? just curious as a new soccer player playing lots of defensive positions

hello brother: I am a young man of 21 years I play football in the Egyptian League in the fourth division, but it is very bad and there is no benefit from it This makes me feel miserable I'm here fighting for my dream of becoming a great player But I am Yemeni and I live in Egypt Is there a way for me to become a professional abroad? Please answer me

Can we talk about the touch at 4:40? ...

Nice👍😊

Very Neymar-esque game. I don't mean the flashy stuff, but the intelligent quick attacking and through ball game. LOVED this from you Matt.

Most versatile player in the USL...

Hi Matt Im joining a club for the 2021-22 season and it’s my first season playing soccer competitively for a School and club so I’m really nervous do u have any tips to prepare ?

Matt I have a question. Is America a country where you can easily make it or is it at least easier than Europe? And also should I risk it to travel to other countrys for trials and how can I find when and where does trials happen? I really want a response to these questions bc I'm 15 and I wanna start investigating this area of the pro football business

On this game u should of played LM or RM ..not saying ur bad but for a LB or RB u don't explode as good the intensity wasn't there because u were defending more then attac

Not sure what your coach wants from you in that position but I noticed that a few times you take a touch and make space away from your man and because you don’t see anyone open you pass back to your center back. Maybe if you took another driving touch towards the middle of the field you could find a new angle for your teammates as they move around you. Just an observation. Otherwise, keep up the good work bro!👍

Where can I watch these usl games like the full game

19:05

Anyone know what I should do as left back when being attacked from the right side

Is it too late to start soccer\football? (Beginner) I'm 14

Decent fullback Understands the game Vision is ok passing is good U seem to lack the overlapping aspect as a fullback and moves the ball good into the channels for your teamates though What u can do is leave that aspect for the midfielders and u overlap on the left side instead Another thing to is that its good to have confidence in your weak .. i admire that .. but challenge them with your strong foot.. cut inside into the channels .. the game woukd had open more .. u played too much and drift outside where the play is shut down . And the play is dead from lacking midfielders All that aside .. it seems that u have what it takes to be a good all round fullback Just keep grinding ⚽️

I play left-back and we we wear the same number

I think you need to work on your 1v1 ability, especially down the line.

Jay Heaps is the General Manager of Birmingham lol

I've never been this early

19:13 = prime arsenal

I feel like u play more as a attaking full back and cdm than as a normal full back :/

You need a better team mate !!! They are sabotaging you mate

Not gonna lie, the shots at 6:25 should've been caught or at least parry to the side. Lucky they didn't score one of those. not hating but i think he has to do better.

Early ❤️

Lmao hate to be that guy but as soon as Matt gets subbed off, look what happens.

first 💥💥💥💥💥💥

Nice job. I'd like to see attempts at maybe a lower percentage pass that can Penatrate more. Especially once you were down 2. Good game though and nice analysis.
