Scouting report

updated 2026-06-04

A defensively excellent side (0 goals conceded in their qualifying mid-block reference) that builds in a back-3 and attacks with numbers, but is open to transitions.

Style · 4-3-3 / 4-1-4-1 / 4-2-3-1 variations — build in a back-3 (dropping a CM), push fullbacks high & wide, wingers and 10s close to the CF, crosses and numbers into the box; drop into a mid-block.

Counter-reliance ·mediumMid-block first, attacks with numbers; open to transition

Strengths

  • +Excellent mid-block (0 goals conceded reference)
  • +Attack the box with numbers and crosses
  • +Flexible build through a back-3

Weaknesses

  • Open to transition attacks
  • Can be opened up at times even without conceding

Key players

  • Hannibal Mejbri · CAMCreative dribbler in midfield — 19 chances created in a 'poor' Burnley side, 5 goal contributions
Tactics
Build via a back-3, get fullbacks high, and load the box with crosses and runners, before dropping into a stingy mid-block. The concern is how easily they can be opened in transition.
