Description
The Mixer: The Story of Premier League Tactics, from Route One to False Nines
Published to coincide with 25 years of the Premier League, this book explores the development of tactics in English football since 1992. The game was once physical and attritional, but a seismic rule change and increased foreign influence transformed it dramatically.
The book delves into the tactical story of the Premier League, examining how teams evolved over the last quarter century, from the directness of Ferguson to the attacking flair of Keegan's Newcastle, and the counter-attacking success of Ranieri's Leicester City.
