Reflecting last night on my positioning for my most recent game.

U18, really good competitive fixture, but often really compact. A lot going on with lots of the players in a 15-20m radius of the ball.

This meant I found it really hard to keep a good view of the challenges. I tried to keep moving my position but generally found that just put another player in the way. A couple of times I needed to read the responses to get to the right call because I could see it clearly enough to be totally confident.

Any tips?
