it's quite funny how Pep actually looked to overwhelm Zinchenko's side by playing Walker as more of a traditional overlapping full back JUST AS TIFO PREDICTED!!
Ye lol.. Never expected that prediction to actually come true
Tifo is the GOAT!
Which video are you referring too I wanna watch it
And TIFO advised that Arsenal to play a mid block in the absence of Saliba, but Arsenal didn't instead chose to play a high press.
@@HayKay_ Most teams would be unable to make changes so close to the game
Pep has changed how City play against all big teams this season. Against Bayern he used the wingers to do the job and protected the Center. Away he let them have the ball wide and kept his defense solid. If you look at them defensively, having 3 natural Center backs who are all good on the ball plus Ederson makes them have 11 vs 10 on the ball players. Arteta mentioned this in the interview and tried to stop Ederson from playing hence why they had 2 pressers between Ederson and his 2 Center backs. The trick today was use Haaland as a false 9 so Kevin can run in behind Holding. Arteta wanted to cut supply to Erling so Pep knew that and made Erling the supply himself😂😂😂😂😂 Freaking mental lad! Overall, what a game by City! I was cheering at every small detail on that game. Also, Kevin ran circles around Partey. He moved from the left 8 role to right then central and wide….10/10 come on City🎉❤
Como aprendiste a analizar los partidos bro??????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Then how can anyone who knows football blame partey coz partey couldn’t cover all that gap alone!. Arteta had to identify that in the first five minutes and change tactics but arteta didn’t make the tactical switches

Exactly , and haaland has strength to hold off defenders till de bruyne make his run
Pep Guardiola has truly evolved as a Manager. He has become less rigid (with possession) and more flexible over time. Back when he was at Barca and Bayern, some people criticized Pep of being one-dimensional, always priortizing possession but at City, we have seen and are seeing something different and out of the norm of what we would expect from Pep.
Now, the opposition can have more possession than City and yet City will beat them effortlessly. As an opponent, it's scary to see this version of Pep.
Pep is a football student. Man openly shared his tactics, even with opposition managers but uses that as a challenge to himself to find new solutions.
By the time his contemporaries catch up to what he was doing five months ago he's moved five steps ahead.
When thinking of generational talents, at normally think of players.
Pep is in the conversation, he's a generational talent as a manager.
Pep, the evolver.
He got humbled so many times he got back to reality 😂
He was alway ultra flexible tactically. It's always about what kind of players he has and how the opponent plays
@@JayzsMr I would say at least since Bayern he got more flexible. maybe not at that level, but still. I can't really judge his early manager carreer
@@JayzsMr you don’t have to be sexy about it
Man pep is crazy!
He made the world use inverted full backs and taught teams how to press high, but they can't use it against himself cuz this man knows exactly how to counter things that he invented himself!
It's like creating a problem and then also creating the antidote. Pep is a lunatic😂😂. The GOAT of Managers in my opinion.
Facts
Pep didnt invented high press
@@smharyanto4660 no, but he made it really popular
@@smharyanto4660 did someone say he invented high press???
Haaland and KDB changed roles 😆
So clever
And to top everything off, Arteta decided to put the dumb & slow Holding to deal with those two (big facepalm) 🤦🏻♂️
@@azmyspin1 you ingrate, he got your only goal
which was out of the syllabus for Apprentice Arteta
@@DrakeDHDerr he also had one of the best performances from an arsenal player. midfield ghosted, attack couldn’t formulate anything until trossard came on, and no one else in the defence did enough. ramsdale was the only better player today, defence just didn’t do enough.
This season at home across all comps: City 6-3 United; City 2-1 Dortmund; City 4-0 Chelsea; City 2-0 Chelsea; City 4-1 Liverpool; City 3-2 Liverpool; City 4-2 Tottenham; City 1-0 Arsenal; City 4-1 Arsenal; City 2-0 Newcastle; City 7-0 Leipzig; City 3-0 Bayern.
And now City 4 - 0 Madrid 😅
We live in an era of Pep Guardiola's football....That's my joy.
Pep is the Messi, Maradona of managers.
I watched sir Alex reign too, but Pep is a phenomenon.
What about Mourinho and Ancelotti ?
@@lexkanyima2195 both great in their own rights, but I find them more man managers than excellent tacticians. Pep, even when at the top of his game doesn't stand still.. always changing and evolving his team. Not a city fan btw!
SAF is better since he did not cook the books.
It doesnt matter what tactics you use, what matters is getting results, and pep spent billions and all he got was winning the premier league every year without being able to win the champions league, with that amount of money he shouldve won every possible trophy to be won, I prefer managers like jurgen klopp, ancelotti, SAF, Mourinho who could turn a team who is strict on their budget win big trophies and make no name players into superstars.
@@abdulwahidalhassani5129 rival fans could respect SAF. The teams he assembled were insane... Keane was playing RM in a relegated side, Cantona was unwanted because of his discipline issues..and not to mention the class of 92. That 99 treble was won by some Norwegian kid bought in from Molde and an ageing Sheringham. And he inspired Ronaldo, who was a flashy kid who dribbles and is a soft touch into too much into a killer machine of a man. After he sold Ronaldo he won the league again with Valencia and Ashley Young as wingers. That man is a master of strategy and tactics.
Man City will find it hard to gain the same respect SAF had. Their achievements feels a little plastic and lack substance and a result of cooking the books.
We need a video on the evolution of debruyne. This man has played so many roles for city it’s crazy
Pep reinvented city tactics it's unbelievable to see him dropping his former principles and philosophy and trying something new he's turning haaland into a beast 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He is smart. He used De Zerbi's baiting tactics and Spalletti's principle of exploiting the space behind the defense line to score.
@@Rainstorm121 You know ball bro. I was just about to write this then came across your comment.
@@Rainstorm121 pep always play beautiful ball
It depends how the opponents play . You can't play like that if the opponent does not pres
@@JayzsMr yea and then he'll switch back to his 3 box 3
It's funny how I expected Grealish and Silva to dominate more but all of a sudden City pivoted to the middle which was a suprise 😂. Kudos to the tactician
Pep really is the THANOS of football - De Zerbi's , José , Carlos Tactics mixed in one match ... Genuis
And 6th stone was Haaland.
If you didn't already know this, Pep is a damn GENIUS
I don’t know but if u noticed the way Haaland and de bruyne played reminded me of the same counter attack that led to their goal against Bayern
Stones + Haaland + De Bruyne = Goal 🔥💯😅
@@maditsimoses2872 Exactly, people tend to forget that it's always Stones who makes that long pass to Haaland, it looks like a clearance at first and then you see the ball drop right where haaland is
Pep is scarier than Undertaker.
and i love him so much
Akanji is a good surprise, against Liverpool i thought he was a little bit off the pace when comparing with the rest of defense, the guy is stopping everyone.
saka was lost
Akanji is a great player and still young
Thanks for the analysis. In the other words, Pep used Roberto De Zerbi's baiting tactics, but instead of playing thru the line via his 2 pivots, he preferred Harland's and Kevin's strength upfront to exploit the space at the back, consistent with Spalletti's fashion at Napoli. This completely deny Arsenal's ability to regain the ball in the central part of the pitch as they normally do. L Spalletti once said, there is no formation in modern football, its about spotting the space and exploiting it.
Glad you picked that up bro!!👊🏾👊🏾
It’s annoying cause everyone will start using this and when I become a coach and I’m using it ppl will think I’m jus doing what’s famous but I had the 2422 2431 pressing shape idea since 2020🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@@jetfitness7975 bro focus on becoming a coach first
I felt that Guardiola found every characteristics of Arteta's game and found the solution to it. Arsenal was never able to attack the wings. As at the Emirates, Guardiola left Arteta the joy to say "I can keep the ball under pressure at the back". That's ok for Guardiola, he keep a pressing so that Arsenal use all their energy to play in their own half. That's what happened at the Emirates and happened here.
Arteta need to learn from Klopp. Be more pragmatic against Guardiola. Kicking the ball from the goalkeeper; play physical and with quick attacks, surprise Guardiola with the unusual, these things works. The rest...
Guardiola is an obsessed guy who loves to study and break downt the opponent tactics to prepare every match, specially if the opponents play possession. So the best it to surprise him and adapt, as does Mourinho...
@@traductionscultureen-arver2307
Arsenal actually played with a high line last night to no avail. With a single pass from Ederson or one of the DF, Arsenal's whole press gets bypassed.
That's genius management.
Always heard of a defender pocketing a striker, but never heard of a striker pocketing the entire defense of the opposition team. Haaland is pure brilliance.
Impeccable performance by Man City
De Zerbi’s tricks introduce confidence, even arrogance to the build up play. Just hold up the ball against the press is risky enough 😂
City is playing decent counterattacking football now. A very good way to prepare for an UCL win 😂
Real are f*cked
Yep realising that you don't have to dominate to win the game
Pep 😂with the Uno reverse card.
Man city play now like barca and madrid in one mixed
@@Aldo-fj7ep only if they are pragmatic enough
Pep using roberto de zerbi brighton's build up tactics
Building up in a 2-4-4 has been made famous by De Zerbi. I guess Pep takes notes too. It’s pretty hard to mark or press high up.
Pep uses and knows Arsenal's tactics, hence knows how to counter Arteta and Arsenal's tactics. This is why Arsenal has lost to City 3 times this season.
What Pep did was to pin down Saka and Martinelli, then used Grealish to pin down Ben White so he doesn't overlapp to create a 2 vs 1 with Saka against Akanji. Also this stretched the Arsenal defence, leaving them open in the middle. Then he used Haaland to play target man rather than trying to run in-behind. As Haaland plays a target man, it gives KDB the chance and space to run in-behind. He also didn't go gong-ho pressing the Arsenal back line like he would normally do, he would press in the midfield instead, this would force the Arsenal center backs to be tempted to carry the ball into the midfield leaving spaces behind for the likes of KDB to exploit. It was a trap. Also when City were in possession, they were calm, not rushing, just taking their time to pick out killer passes.
It was just a Pep masterclass, any other manager with this City team last night wouldn't have beaten Arsenal this much.
Pep is a genius. The brilliant tactical tweaks he deployed caught Arteta totally unaware. KDB played like the striker while Halaand played like a hybrid between an attacking midfielder and a false 9, which meant that Arsenal's CDM and CB's were being dragged constantly out of position by Halaand's movement of the ball. Pep is truly a GOAT and king of Mastermind. There's levels to this 👏
Pep has gone full circle.
Revolutionised tactical passing play, but now playing something not all that dissimilar to 90’s 442 with a big target man linking play with a smaller player running off him
De zerbi is changing the game in the premier league ,kudos to city
I was gonna say how much like Brighton city played. De zerbi and pep are pretty similar but de zerbi’s style is more efficient
@@bujugalawrence2116 but he lost 3-1
@IrisN2359city currently are
@@DrakeDHDerr if you watch Brighton they are arguably the best possession team in England right now. I would say better than city.
@@DrakeDHDerr city lost 4 times this season
And one vs Southhampton in the carabao
Even the best team can lose
Pep is simply the best manager of all time. And yes I've seen Alex manage ManUtd too. But Pep is far better than Alex. Barca, Bayern, City he has literally transformed every club suiting to the needs and abilities of the players. Amazing.
Well said.
But Pep is The GOAT
Everyone watching could see the butning desire in kdb this game. It doesnt matter if you dont play big roles in other games, its the big games that defines a world class player.
City are on another level. I hope they win the PL, FA Cup, and CL.
I think a lot of it came from a lack of experience from the defenders. They weren’t prepared for it, but come on, both of the defenders kept gravitating towards one player. No one was looking to read and intercept the play by covering the pass to the runner. They didn’t even have to do any fancy chips, just simple ground passes. This makes me appreciate players who actually have good game sense even more.
I was most surprised at Akanji, exceeded expectations playing RB😮.
He played Ake’s spot at LB - Walker was RB
I stand corrected 🙏
Tifo is really goat in predicting the game,they predicted walker gonna come which will be tactically a tweak in their game to give problems for arsenal.good analysis fms.pep really got inspired from roberto de zerbi tactics.
Pep had several tricks up his sleeve, didn't he? The stars were just not aligned for his former student though
I love your analysis as it’s how I explained it to my girlfriend as the game played out. You’ve made me look like a tactical master as well as one happy Manc.
A coach like guardiola cannot be measured or criticized for the games he wins or looses that's football for you...you can beat Madrid today 4-0 and lose to Luton town 1-0 next day... his ability lies in the fact that not only does he reinvent his ideas and approach season in season out.. he reinvents the players themselves to fit into those new ideas and his ability to make them seamlessly transition is what makes him light years ahead of his contemporaries a true genuius...who can never get enough
Wow.. brilliantly done.. I watched the game and can see your analysis make sense to me. Awesome work!
The high press that's not tight enough opened up space for City. On the other hand, low tight press with strong pack in the middle would force City to go wide and use either a long ball in or 1-on-1 dribbling which would help Arsenal's backs to interrupt the flow and reduce a long run. To create a second, a third or a fourth ball in a tight space would put Arsenal in a 50-50 chance to play the ball against City's front.
Versatility of Pep ❤
Pep as a new way to pin down wingers and fullbacks overlapping
You can barely see any winger performing excellently against pep side
Hes a genius
Unreal how Pep changes in every big game leaving a massive uncertainty in the way they ll play and the formation
Absolutely crucial Kevin de Bruyne the best player of the league and best midfielder itw by far 💙
John Stones has really step up from the player he used to be 🎉 congrats city
Pep is unbelievable. People often accuse him of ”overthinking” (Well he certainly does but not in a bad way) but it’s so hard to beat a team as good as city when you never know how they will play. I support Arsenal and as painful it was to watch my own team falter I kind of began admiring Pep’s tactics throughout the game, probably as a way to cope with the disappointment and focus on something else 😅
As an Inter fan I hope we make the final this year, we do well in UcL this season altough I rather have a top 4 spot secured but we will get slapped so hard by City, it will be so painful haha

Great analisys 🫡
That was great analysis thanks but can you analysis de Zerbi tactics because they say mancity tactics was kind of the same as de zerbi’s tactics tonight .
mate what is the software you are using?
Great peace of content bro!
Thanks! I really enjoyed your analysis.

Perfectly describes it😂😂
Pep is so special....he experiment new tactics in football....truly a genius manager🔥
Can someone explain how Man City's press was so effective upfront that Arsenal looked like they didn't have enough time to move the ball around. What did they do better?
I honestly don't get how the majority of football fans discredit pep's tactical knowledge and simply attribute his success to money.
This dude is a genius.
they are all jealous
He's good but money has played a massive role
@@yungdkay1008 what about Chelsea 😂😂😂
@@yungdkay1008 bitter and jealous
And I have checked the most expensive midelfielders, defenders, forwards and goalkeepers. I tell you what,man city doesnt even dominate.
Pep decided to swap Haaland nd De Bruyne,Arsenal's defense got confused Haaland is playing like a Midfielder KDB as a Forward😂😂😂Erling Haaland is just proving every haters wrong now. He is doing skills as a striker.
Biggest mistake Arteta is making is not having at least three seasoned, experienced players in that team.
The way they gave a lackluster Liverpool energy when they were busy diving and trying to get a Liverpool player sent off completely changed the direction of the game.
Very useful & enjoyable game analysis
Mayne pep is out of the world this man make me fall in love with his coaching philosophy and everything about him is so amazing, there’s no way a real football insider would the sir Alex is better than this man
coach tactical made huge difference compare most EPL coach use same tactical with winning 11 team :- )
Great Job
This is a good tactical analysis.....I actually noticed Rodri received ball under pressure...
One thing for sure...never leave KDB alone😂
Leaving de Bruyne free between the lines, oof.
The last guy you wanna give time and space to.
Can you send these kind of clips to David & Philipp Degen, please from FC Basel?
🤝
Excellent video - Pep was flexible and problem solved Arsenal as this is the 3rd time played this season - Arteta was too idealistic in hisi approach.
What's crazy is how versatile and flexible City can play now since the World Cup it's like they can completely change playstyles effectively on the fly whether its posession based wing play down the flanks counters traditional long ball to the CF you just don't know which City yo're gonna get Arteta genuinely didn't know what to do
Yup, before they never had this flexibility. Now they have so many tools
I don't want to believe all those praising Pep here are City fans or Pep fans. The man is a genius and haters are recognizing it themselves. I wish i can go to into coaching beacuse og him.
Partey suffered during this game. Man couldn't keep up😂
Pep is Einstein of football ⚽
Hey bro!! Can you get me a video on how Pep's 3-2-4-1 formation works?? Plzz
John Stones is the unsung hero
Did anybody observe the "Plus two, minus one" pattern of passing when city had an extra man in the midfield? I think it was a key tactic for city to beat arsenal's midfield.
(+2, -1: Pass the ball to a midfielder who is two lines ahead but is marked by the opponent; Then flick it back to the pivot who was being cover shadowed by the striker/CAM who then can run into the space.)
I hope Arteta watches this analysis, he should learn to be flexible. I think he reacts too late
KDB: Identifying spaces. Like thomas muller aka raumdeuter?
Pep is a genius
No matter which football club you support. You just have to admit that city are playing a beautiful football under pep. Such a tactical jenius.
Please 🙏 analyze Man united vs Tottenham Hotspur it will be this Thursday night.
The Madrid game is going to be crazy
Would love Manchester City to win the lot now. 👏
Do you have your badges?
so basically pep used Jose tactics dezerbi's deep build up principles and he's next level
It's the fact that he combined those tactics plus Carlo's tactics that makes him a genius
oh okay
Don't take this the wrong way, but I've known and bet at every point of the season that City will be champions. No matter how good Arsenal have been this season or Liverpool in recent seasons, overall City are a level above everyone else. And what I'm getting at is that City are at least halfway towards making it a 'Farmers League', which these deluded English fans are yet to realize. They will also be champions ten times, it doesn't matter whether it happens in eleven or maybe twelve years. Four times in five years plus this year they have already become champions. The PL cannot offer more than maybe longer tension in the fight for the title compared to the Buli.
Well, what will be the reason City able to do so? By breaking the rules
@kennyt9857 they are just the blackest of the black sheep in England. No player is bigger than the club, but now celebrities from Hollywood are owners of clubs in England 😂 idk for me it's embarrassing ... in the recent years they are not even the worst in terms of spending money, what Chelsea just did outshined City. England is just up there because of money. They just bought success while others in Europe worked hard for decades. Where were they 20 years ago before it all started?
The best managers in the word rn🥰🤩😍😊
This man City team is the peak of peps tactical genius
Arteta got schooled
'you' need players at the very top to execute such kind of tactics ;
& even so it takes time for these top notch players to adopt such play :
GO CITY ... !!!
( ... & even the Swiss guy , Akanji , has now learned City-football ... )
Haland and debruin play like Kane and son in this match
During Arsenal vs Mancity Haaland played like inverted striker. It was obvious when Haaland provide assist to de Bruyne from mid of the pitch
Pep. The man is just fantastic
Have always tot Arteta to change tactics ever since we started drawing games, 4,4,2 should be solid. Up front trossard and Jesus, at the back, Gabriel and white, party and tieny at wing. Jorginho , xhaka ,martinelli and saka at the midfield.
The only shape I have seen affective against City has been the 4-3-2-1 set up by Nuno Espírito Santo and the Wolves. However, with Harland and de Bruyne on fire right now…who knows what can stop them.
Bro, what happened to the old format?
Pep has no more only one way of playing 🔥Best Manager in the world hate it or love it.
Tactical Masterclass
Guardiola ball became de Zerbi ball
Lets be honest, arsenal is collective while man city is both has the best players individually and collectively
City drew in the press and the press wasn't compact enough from Arsenal leaving gaps in the midfield for Haland and Debryne to feed off.
They looked to use traditional fullbacks and played
Ederson as a third man defender during build up, they played a four-two-three-one in and out of possession and created most of the chances.
Arsenal however could not cope with these long balls and left way to much space in the middle which is a recipe for disaster, on attack they found success with Holding driving on the ball and using combination play on the right side to break into the attacking third, they also tried to isolate Saka with Akanji by playing direct long balls to him whicu was a bad idea since in the air we all know who has the bigger advantage.
