Performance analysis is the process of carrying out various
systematic observations to increase the performance of a study

5. subjectIts main role is to improve general decision making.In
football performance analysis is a very important aspect in
relation to coachingFootball coaches have the mandate of
carrying a performance analysis on their players Thereby, after
receiving the needed feedback they are able to make the
necessary decisions regarding their team
Performance analysis is quite frankly the process of making
various observations systematically on a study subject in order
to enhance the general performance of the subject.
Performance analysis is also quite important when it comes to
decision making as in football, after the coach has performed
adequate performance on their players, he/she is able to come
up with a comprehensive decision based on the data that has
been collected from the analysis
When it comes to football, we therefore see that performance
analysis is a very important aspect in football.
*
Effectiveness of performance analysis toolsThrough pre-
competition intelligence, coaches are able to tackle the
challenge ahead by analyzing their opponentBy identifying the
weaknesses of the players the coach is able to improve or make
decisions to deal with the problem at handTools such as visual
data is important to make the players understand their roles
clearly when they are in the field

6. By carrying out a post event analysis, the coach is able to
determine when the players were not performing and identify
the areas that his/her team still needs to work onBy coming up
with a tactic that best suits the team, the coach is able to create
a perfect balance in the team.

8. Before any competition, it is quite obvious that every team
makes their own preparation in regard to their opponents. This
is where pre-competition intelligence comes in, by conducting
an analysis on the opponents strengths and weaknesses, the
coach is able to make a decision and plan to be able to deal with
problem
Any team, has its strengths and weaknesses, therefore it is
important for the coach to carefully analyze his team to be able
to improve and do away with problem or at least try to solve it.
This is why the performance analysis tools are effective.
Fottball, is generally a visual sport, this means that the
decisions and directions made by the coach have to be visual.
Therefore visual data is important for the coaches when giving
instruction to their players and make them understand exactly
what role is while in the football pitch.
After every match, it is important to regroup and carry out a
post event analysis. In this way the coach is able to identify the
positives and the negatives that the team took away from the
game. Thereby they are able to work on the negatives and
improve on the positives.
The coach can use the data collected after carrying out a
performance analysis to create a system that best suits and
works for the team to come out successful after each game.

Case studyIn our case study we take a look at Chelsea Football
Club
Chelsea is football team in England based in London that plays
in top flight English football.Chelsea by default are known as
the top 5 football clubs in England based on their successful
achievements over the yearsNot long ago in the 2015/2016

9. season, the club was in a terrible run of form and its coach had
to be terminated from his job in the processHowever after a
change and a year we see a team with renewed vigor and a great
run of form and being at the top of the table.The results in this
case are attributed to the new tactics brought in by the new
manager.Their next match as we see is against Manchester
United.Another English football top flight club
Chelsea is a football club based in London that plays top flight
English football. As we all know its recent history, in the
2015/2016 season, the team was in a terrible run of form. One
which almost brought them quite close to the relegation zone.
Chelsea has been over the years known as the giant teams of
England, being able to even win the champions league in 2012.
their terrible form was attributed to the poor tactics by the
coach who was in charge then. After the coach was terminated
and a new one brought in there were tactical changes made to at
least steady the sinking ship until the end of the season.
Upon the entrance to the 2016/2017 season we see a team that is
very well disciplined and has very efficient tactics thanks to the
new coach that was brought in.
As we see a team that is on the top of the table in the English
premier league it is hard to find out some of its weaknesses. We
can only see the immense strengths it possesses. Chelsea’s
weaknesses are seen in its midfield- this is mainly attributed to
its formation which is the 3-4-3. This formation mainly takes
advantage of the wings this therefore leaves the midfield
exposed and vulnerable depending on the formation that the
opponent team uses.
In terms of the strengths, it is also brought about by the team’s
formation. The 3-4-3 formation is a very efficient counter
attacking formation. This means that the team is able to quickly
switch from the defensive to attacking mode very effectively.
Chelsea have been able to score very many goals using this

10. tactic and in counter attacking moves. The three defenders at
the back make sure to create an airtight defense compared to
two center backs. Two midfielders protect the defenders while
the other wing backs help in both defending and attacking as
they run all across the wings. The three attacks help in making
he counter attacks to materialize.
Now Chelsea’s next fixture is against Manchester United.
Another English football top flight club. This match will prove
to be very competitive given that the match is to played away
from the home turf. Adding to the fact that the last time these
two teams met, ended with Chelsea winning 4-0 and the
opponent will be seeking revenge this time round.
*
Team performanceChelsea’s performance has had a mixture of
different results over the recent gamesThey have however, won
two of their last games lost twice, drawn twice and won the rest
in a span 10 games played prior to the match against
Manchester United.As one goes into any fixture as we have seen
it is important for the coach to see what formation is required
going into a fixture.The coach has to come up with a strategy
that will be able to come out with an acceptable result.Chelsea’s
coach has been able to stick to the 3-4-3 formation seeing that it
almost always brings great results after every game

11. Thereby in this upcoming game against United, its hard to
expect him to change his formation.
When we look at the previous 10 matches that Chelsea have
been able to play in the premier league. We see them coming
out with a total of 6 wins out 10 games and 2 draws with only 2
losses to show for. This is a fairly great result by any standard.
Going into any fixture the coach has to be able to prepare
adequately before facing their opponent.
One must be able to analyze the opponents, spot their strengths
and prepare the team adequately prepare the team to be able to
deal with the threat. By salso spotting the opponents’
weaknesses, the coach is able to prepare the team in order for
the them to exploit the weaknesses and use it as a weapon to
win the game. Using performance analysis to improve the
teams’ performance, the teams abilities are enhanced order to
come out successful after each game.
*
Next FixtureChelsea’s next fixture against Manchester United is
going to prove pivotal for the title challenge.Bearing that in
mind it is important to note that this is a must win
fixture.Chelsea have to come up with a strategy that will be able
to effectively nullify its opponents threats.It also has to
capitalize greatly on its opponents weaknesses.The coach has to
train his players to be able to read the game to determine the
kind of game the opponents are trying to play and counter the
problem.
As we have seen, Chelsea’s next fixture is going to prove to be
quite the match considering the rivalry that the two teams have
between them. However, it is very imperative to not that the

12. coaches must be able to guide their player to not bring their
emotions into the game as this is going to prove pivotal over
who will emerge he winner in the end.

Next fixture
The writer started to analyse 'Manchester United' when asked to
consider the next fixture. This is wrong as the assignment paper
clearly says that 'The teams next fixture will be against R.S.C.
Anderlecht'. (Please have a look as the assignment brief).
Would it be possible to get this done by today?
It says poster presentation; however it’s a presentation so it
could be done on PowerPoint.
Can you write information on the Notes section which i could
say whilst presenting.
