Time for the #TFAArchives!

Each day, Fintan O’Reilly gets deep into the 10,000+ articles we’ve written on TFA over the years and pulls out a few that might be of interest based on current events and news and sometimes, Chris Beaumont remembers to post them.

Leandro Trossard scored the only goal of the game to help Arsenal stay top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Manchester United yesterday. We went into detail on his game ahead of his move from Genk to Brighton.

With one game left, FC Twente are in an excellent position to earn a place in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. We analysed their tactics under Joseph Oosting at the beginning of the 2023/24 campaign.

St. Pauli are on the cusp of winning 2. Bundesliga with just one game left to play — we detailed their defensive masterclass under Fabian Hürzeler this term.

Plenty will rightfully be said about Thiago Motta with Bologna achieving UEFA Champions League qualification, but sporting director Marco Di Vaio’s recruitment strategy has also been vital to their success. Read all about it.

And that is it for today – we will be back in the morning with the latest analysis.
