How Jurgen Klopp Broke Man City's System (And Kevin De Bruyne)
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 03. 2024
- Missing 5 of their regular starters (and with more still returning to fitness) Liverpool went into their crunch match against Man City as sizeable underdogs. But, after surviving an opening period that could have seen the visitors well ahead, Jurgen Klopp made a major change to his side's approach and slowly wrestled control away from Pep Guardiola.
It's a game that could have gone either way, but Adam Clery analyses the events and tells us why Liverpool would have been the rightful owners of the 3 points.

Mate, as a Endo defender from the beginning. Anyone who actually watched Bundesliga and Japan knew he was very good, but felt he would always be too loyal to Stuttgart. You need to do a vid on his impact as a whole.
Yup well said. Endo is an exceptional player and one that doesnt always get the credit for the unbelievable work ethic he deserves. His running, positioning, tackling, precision passing, pressing and ball winning is, in my opinion the best in the league.
Endo is a master midfielder. Kudos to whoever spotted him at Stuttgart.
Liverpool can sure praise their luck that they got their hands on this guy. He made City's midfield look like fools. And I honestly don't know where he gets his energy to play 90+ minutes almost every game and still be on everyone's asses instantly with a clean tackle. He's a different kind of beast with a really good head on his shoulders, flawless work ethic and attitude.
Took a couple of months to find his feet and since then he's been absolutely immense and am now wondering to myself was Fabinho even ever this good for us. That's how brilliant he's been
@@gavinxxnirxx Fabinho had the height. And that's about it. Endo is a footballing revelation. (In fairness, Fabinho is a legend and was fairly shit-hot too.)
@@gavinxxnirxx tbh the only thing Fabinho didn't have was Endo's quick forward passing/range of passing. But aside from that, they were both beastly DMs... they made that number 3 shirt of LFC proud.
Endo is one of the most intelligent players in the league
I mean the guy has an actual book outlining his football philosophy
Lol
Liverpool fan here: I love this channel. Super fun analysis. Also, Four Four Two magazine still exists? Wow!
Liverpool were ROBBED. Clear penalty
What new
YAWN
In the previous matches city were denied 2 goals and a penalty by var vs Liverpool never heard any Liverpool fans crying 😅🤦
Blablabla 115 of blablabla
Agreed
It's 2 points dropped due to unfortunate chances & yes VAR being , well not utilized, repeatedly. The performance it yet another of encouragement, yes a full 3 points is a tad more valuable, but the confidence for us to keep it together is stronger than it was the title winning season.
Liverpool cry babies... You had 90mins to score clear goals.. but no, you want to win via penalties.
Blame your poor finishing.
The conspiracy rumbles on. I’m not talking about a soft pen or being awarded but a cynical performance in the first half by the hatchet trio of Walker, Silva and Rodri, with only 2 yellows all match. Rather than us crying, it’s you citeh fans crying with joy and relief. You got schooled. Roll on Arsenal.
I see you missed my point about us missing & having several chances saved when Liverpool were outplaying City for most of the game
And arsenal has lost a few games duo to the same shit.. Pool isnt the only oen getting abd desicions agianst them
Nope that's 6 poi ts dropped spurs arsenal n now city
Till last season I was very critical of Harvey, that he should add more goals , coz he has got that ability . This season he hasn't gotten as many as his ability can have him but boy his intensity goes off the roof when the team really needs players to step up , he embodies what Liverpool FC means .
Yes , Alexis VVD Quansah Joe Diaz , all had a good game but ladies and gentlemen,The Best Holding midfielder , Endo , that guy , literally we all knew nothing of , but dude he's been fire .
i was very critical of elliot myself. people forget he had a scary injury, came back in record time, and has been a menace for the opposition since. he's a great player.
Its been a long time since ive seen KDB made essentially irrelevant in a game. Hes always a threat, hes arguably the best or top 3 centre midfield players in the world.. but in this game he was just completely shut down by endo and macallister. For a neutral, a great game to watch. For a liverpool fan, another VAR robbery and come the end of the season if liverpool end up losing the title by a couple of points then the tottenham farce and this game will be remembered as the matches that the referees took the title away from liverpool with their ineptitude.
thats a total exageration, he had a good shot at the beggining, a assist iin the corner and a few other moments, and left the game quite early. people are talking as if liverpool dominated city, it was draw and a very even game that could have gone either way
@@frankkkbard0n315 did you watch the video lol
Doku's high boot would have been a foul anywhere else on the pitch. There would also have been at least a shout for a red card. Just sayin'...
Endo wiped the floor with Rodri and KDB. They got savaged...
as a neutral...
Bradley looks the real deal. Liverpool were by far the better side.
and even if he's barely made a successful pass in 12 minutes, you never take Kevin De Bruyne off the pitch in the biggest game of the season.
i hope Liverpool go on to win the League.
Öliver, Big-game player 😂😂
The problem was, Kevin De Bruyne was a liability by the time pep took him out. there were more chance of Man City imploding then KDB creating the match winning goal. KDB was made to look like pogba.
He is nothing more than a deadwood because Liverpool have locked their pivots down and they can’t get the ball to him. Masterclass by klopp.
Imagine if we have Jota instead of Diaz, we could score at least 3. Then, even the futballmaffia couldnt stop us to get the 3 points...
God bless you all
Wow, such a well put together analysis.
Liverpool fan here. I feel sad and disappointed by the result, I couldn't really get over it, still. Mainly because our players gave everything for the win. They dominated City, created so many chances, the way they played was simply unreal. All they lacked was the finish. With a little bit of luck Diaz alone could have scored two more, Szoboszlai also with that header.
Of course, it was a clear pen. We could have won if the ref had the balls to give one against City at 90+ minutes, and I think if it was the other way around, or if the foul happened anywhere else on the pitch, it would have been a penalty/yellow/free-kick. But ultimately we should have won it on the field with those magnificent attacks ourselves.
I still believe in these guys and Klopp, though. They can still do it. Injured players are now coming back, we can defeat anyone we have to face on the last 10 games. And I believe Liverpool will.
If Arsenal beats City and goes on a run for the remainder of the season, then that's out of our hands, but these lads will do their utmost best to conquer the league with Klopp one last time.
It's not out of our hands, we just need to score a few more goals to catch them, we have some games coming up where that could happen. If we match Arsenals away 6-0 against Sheffield Utd at Anfield against the same opponents our GD will be almost the same.
Besides old trafford, I think we're good favourites to take 3 points in every remaining fixture. I still think we can win at OT too. Im sad about the penalty decision, not just because we didn't win but because it soured the result in my mind as a result of shite refeering again. But if we play this way and bring back our star players from injury we will take this league and send Klopp off with a smile
Well said! Though compared to before the match I’m glad we did get a point and not let city run off with the points. Compared to after that 2nd half we couldhave definitely won this game…
Oh well, first we hope for a draw between city-arsenal and then we go on a win spree till the end of the season. Our players are in form and pumped!
Its quite possible especially with the use of asthma inhalers like before. With the use of steroids anything is possible for Liverpool
That’s because city were so terrible and forgot how to pass
Nice job with the analysis! It's great to have someone point out the seemingly small tweaks that have large impacts on the game. really makes watching the game far more interesting.
also, yea... gutted that Liverpool didn't get the penalty, but also not surprised or angry at all. just accepting it as it is. Water is wet, fire is hot, VAR is corrupt.
Nice analysis, Liverpool were good and as a city fan I think we just deserved an L. Pep should have adapted early and made early substitutions.
Adam should always present these videos. Easy to understand and objective, no banter.
As much as Liverpool didnt get the result they wanted, the performance presents a strong mental booster. Which is vital going forward. Klopp is very industrious and lets no experience go to waste. Good or bad....he will use the information gathered from this match and build on it in another. I agree though this game deserved a winner and in the end i feel it should have been Liverpool....they reminded city that there are no immortals , i saw fear in their eyes....and thats not something you see often with Man City. The controversy surrounding the penalty is a discussion on its own, Diaz should have pocketed atleast one of the chances he had....especially after the shift he put in....that aside, thank you for the time and effort you put into thèse post match analysis, it helps us see the game through a different lense, you have a good eye. Keep it up. 💯
😂i also saw fear in their eyes as well. Players who normally bully liverpool looked shell shocked and out of energy: foden ,walker,rodri,silva and debruyne😮
@@lungalunga1470 De Bruyne looked so rattled when he was taken off... He & Rodri were being bullied by Endo in the middle of the pitch. I've seen more frustrated hair flips from De Bruyne in this match than from my sister.
City fan here, but Liverpool. dominated 2nd half and was unlucky with Diaz's misses and controversial Doku tackle on McAllister. I have great respect for Klopp, a top coach, and he deserves to end his career at Liverpool with League honors.
If Liverpool had scored that second a third and forth would have followed
yes, and if Doku's effort had gone in off the post, City might well have scored a third and fourth on the break. that's what's meant by 'fine margins'
If that stand hadn't collapsed at Heysel Liverpool would have more European trophies
@@randyschwaggins tell us how liverpool live rent free in your head without telling us
@@randyschwagginslikewise if there isn’t 115 city would have zero trophies
Jota's missing was critical. Because Diaz decided he would hit everything but score...
Liverpool and var this season:
Luiz diaz goal vs Tottenham
Odegard handball vs arsenal
Doku penalty vs city
Looks like a pattern more than coincidences
This could all boil down to a kick in the chest not being a penalty, but I love the 13 minute tactic session nonetheless
Yeah I’m glad he didn’t talk about that the whole time again or else I would get angry again
last season a drop kick to the head wasnt a red so anything is possible
New football viewer here, I just wanna say this was an exceptional video. I never thought football could be viewed so tactically and with such intricacy. The way you explained the reason Diaz was exceptional in the last minutes of the game reasoning Robertson's push to the top of the pitch and hindering Walker's ability was superb. Great analysis of that beautiful game.
Quansah and Bradley make us forget we haven't had Matip and TAA for large chunks of the season. I'm so impressed with how mature they have been on the pitch.
As a LFC fan, we should have won. Had our chances but didnt capitalize. Unfortunately history shows this result won’t be good enough to win the league. Look back at the seasons where we just missed out on winning the prem. 18/19 lost by a point, a draw and a loss to city. 21/22 lost by a point, draw with City twice. Hopefully things are different this year.
Saved by the woodwork twice. City gifted you many chances but still failed to capitalize. Keep crying
Great video as always! Congratulations on 500k+ subscribers! 🎉
What an amazing channel! Love the updated content
I fucking love that I found this channel, Adam is hilarious 😂
Great video mate, apreciate the slowmottion at the end, everybody can see the coruption they think we are blind or something like that
Think you could've touched on the Kovacic sub. He brought in exactly what pep needed to slow the game down and hold the ball, but with the caveat that he's not a real attacking threat.
Well earned like, lads. Great commentary
Watching the channel for the 1st time and love it.nice work bro
I really enjoy watching your tactical breakdown of games. Thank you 👍
This succinct little breakdown earned you a subscribe, more power to yous!
One of my favorite football related CZcams channel hands down
Hey Adam. You need to get your CV into Liverpool. Your knowledge on the game format, is excellent…
I can honestly listen to whatever videos Adam C. put out for days!
You see where firmino sealed gaps in klopp’s midfield.
Plays in the center but would always drop deep in midfield to add pressure and contest possession.
Not as prolific with goals like the other two. But that’s because he had a fuckton of various responsibilities tossed onto him to handle. Creation, holding, pressure, space and defensive support. Bobby was truly the engine of klopp’s heavy metal psycho pace team.
As always, GREAT vid. I was trying to put my finger on what changed tactically around minute 20. Well done.
Regards my feelings about the result as a LIV fan after 48 hours of reflection ... Disappointing not to be 4 clear of them after such a stellar effort. But in the cold light of day, it seems likely we'll be top again after first week post break (so long as we take care of our own business) and, if so, fully in control of our own destiny. Given we've been robbed of 5.points by var and the # of high profileminjuries, that's actually an astoundingly positive position 2 b in.
Intro was tops
Brilliant analysis. Adam is super knowledgeable and entertaining- love it!
Great analysis, really well delivered 👏
Great breakdown. Thanks for doing it.
"It wasn't too bad for walker"
Meanwhile Diaz emptying his pockets:👀
@FourFourTwo Great video, absolutely love how you frame the tactical story. Where did you get those passing statistics for KDB from?
Love seeing Adam here; didn't realise he'd moved on - but love him as a presenter!
Great video as always.
I think this game puts to rest the question of which manager is better. Pep has never had to field a team as weak as this Liverpool 11 and still gotten a result (and what should have been a win).
Proof of tactics, coaching and philosophy winning the battle.
Very well put
Outstanding analysis mush!!
Mclery bro you should be on skysports man, this level of analysis and insight is honestly unparalleled, easy to understand and you're doing it on a Subbuteo board... Keep doing what you're doing dude and hopefully you will get the rewards, recognition and success you deserve! Love these videos
Aright, aright, subscribed. I enjoyed this one a lot
great observations, thanks :)
Super vid of the game.
Thank you.
As a Liverpool fan, yes we should have won, but a point is okay considering on paper we have the slightly easier run in.
Still 30 points to play for though.
Really good piece!
You have earned another subscription with this analysis. I had no idea #17 in blue was that feckless...
Money League, Corruptions League, not PL anymore.
I thought you are gonna say pines league.
Thanks for putting such complicated thing in perspective...I feel much better now.
7:50 is spot on, mate!
Sometime in life, a disadvantage can become a strength if you get cornered.
And Klopp, Lijnders are brave & smart enough to face the challenge aka take the opportunity head on.
Put it into a test.
YNWA! ❤🌟
You analysis are always so interesting to watch. Especially when it comes to Liverpool. The tactics are amazing 😅
Avout the title challenge as a Liverpool fan, I was a bit disappointed given how we played in the second half, but I really wish Jurgen wins the title in his last season. He truly deserves it.
Great analysis, as ever Adam.
Great content yet again. VAR operator was Arteta by the way...
Hey Adam, loved your work on this. Also loved it in WhatCulture. Can I suggest you also do similar reviews on classic matches? I.e. Liverpool v barca 4-0, or aguerrooooo City v qpr.
Thanks mate
Yours is the best sumation of this game.
Head and shoulders above the other pretenders and yes I’ve watched the others. Well done from a football coach.
13:11
"What's the deal with you two?"
*glitches back to Adam holding a photo of Trent*
Great analysis, thanks.
It was a great tactical game to watch at the top level. Was amazing to see how City started the game and took it to Liverpool to answer. Slight change in tactics balanced the game for the first half beside the genius of Carlos Vicens creating the amazing play for corner kick & getting a lead. Come second half things were far different, Klopp half time talk worked again and it was a different Liverpool team to get things started. Amazing tactical changes along with freedom for players to play the game. Liverpool should have won the game beside Diaz forgot to wear his shooting boots. Let this title challenge go on and we are up for the best title race for a while.
Excellent analysis Adam
I’d be interested in the tactics going on with Quansah and Van Dijk. They were continually swapping sides but it was difficult working out who was covering who. Also really impressive from both to be able to do so. Most central defenders can’t adjust so easily.
A fantastic game, chock full of heart, through highs and lows. The ungiven penalty is insignificant to the display the lads put on for the fans. If the reds play like that through to the end of the season, they'll take home more silver. Game on! YNWA
Another brilliant and insightful analysis. Thanks.
Some very good analysis.
Love the video.
LFC fan - your vids this year have made me appreciate the genius of Klopp a whole lot more and possibly more worried about his impending departure? I think most Liverpool fans would have taken a point seeing the team sheet, so delighted with how it turned out and ultimately frustrated by VAR or lack of again! The title race comes down to who blinks first. Heart says Liverpool seal the fairytale. Head says City by a point AGAIN. Both sides are animals in this phase of the season. I've a feeling Arsenal will have the ultimate say either way.
Huge for us to not lose, obviously would have loved to get that stonewall mma kick to the chest and win at the death. However we have by far the easiest 10 games left we are tied at the top and arsenal have to travel to City in 2 weeks you’d fancy city at home or a draw. Our toughest game is on the road at old trafford and spurs at home I believe. Salah yet to get back fully from injury and should be getting alisson and Trent back soon tbh that point is massive as we stay ahead of city. I’d say 8 wins 2 draws rest of the way should be enough to lift the trophy and we are certainly capable hopefully our injury crisis doesn’t get any worse and we have a great chance
That was one hell of a game.. enjoyed it sooooo much. Refri big stinker at the end. We will win the league in spite ! 😊
Your intro is quite amusing! I couldn't help but laugh out loud. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great presentation
city get var advantage again fs when it happens all the time its not a coincidence is it? best tactical analysis anywhere 👍 brilliant content bro
Great analysis
it’s crazy how the way they dealed with kdb was basically by not. A lot of teams since he’s come back have man marked him or something but then that just leaves more space for beranrdo and foden. They just kept their shape and blocked passing lanes to kdb
bradley, kelleher, Endo & Van Dijk played one of their best games for liverpool in my opinion, Diaz turned the volume up towards the end and city where rattled. following another comment i've seen, i really would like to see a video on Endo's impact on liverpool, quite possibly another firmino situation as the unsung hero
Liverpool's energy was relentless. That Afield atmosphere was deafening through my headphones, I cannot imaging what it must have felt like on the pitch.
As a neutral, draw was a fair result. I hate the amount of extra time being awarded. In the slo mo Ball hits upper part of Macalisters' arm, then Doku hits ball first, the follow through is debatable.
Cards on the table. Liverpool fan… my thoughts are Liverpool haven’t had a consistently good 90 minutes this season. We have had more 50/50 decisions go against us than every team including forest. The start of the season could have destroyed a fragile squad when 2 players chose blue over red. Injuries should have eaten away the confidence that had grown. Then just as we start to feel good the boss says I’m cooked boys. And still we are joint top of the league with ten games to go, in the 6th round of the cup, quarters of the europa league and have a cup in our back pocket won mainly by a collection of very game children and one massive grown up.
If we get two or three players back for after the break and crucially arsenal and city get even one of the weeks February we had for injuries then the lot is there for us to take.
My reasoning is simple we have conserved energy all season by only really playing in the last 20 minutes plus stoppage time of every match so far.
But what a whirlwind of an endgame we are in for.
It's two points dropped in terms of the Diaz chance missed when he was through on goal. But after Citeh slap Assna at the end of the month, we go top again.
You say that but I think I'd prefer a draw between those two. that's a combined total of 2 points to our closest rivals as opposed to 3 points to one of them.
@DavidChong agreed. A draw would be perfect. But I just don't trust arsenal to get something from that game.
@@Watcher40000 I don't know, I wouldn't have called arsenal beating us 3-1 earlier either so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Until Brighton slap you
Excellent video.
Brilliant analysis, thanks. As Liverpool were in the end the better of the two sides then it's 2 points dropped....particularly if the Doku offence was ruled as a penalty (which it was!). I don't feel nervous about Liverpool's prospects for trophies this year. The future is bright. YNWA.
nahhh why u got do nah boy klopp so dirty with the Oscar clip hahaha
A point missed in all analysis so far, which I think is, at least, interesting: Macca being dragged off the defending line by an off-sided Ake, right at the first goal. I mean, wasn't that the standard set by the off-sided goal at Chelsea? Am I missing something here?
Good analysis
Thanks for the video. Will make me miss Klopp even more
There is something that many are not talking, the long balls from the back made life difficult for city as they were pressing high.
I felt Darwin Nunez was great with him making those runs diverted attention from the defenders often and Diaz used those opportunities to try shots.
But Man Cify defense barring the disastrous pass from Ake which lead to Ederson's injury were good like Liverpool's attack and intensity was awesome and felt they did well against such a beast of a team.
Great video ! Penalty yes and It's getting a bit much of VAR misstakes grrrr
Yes! It was a penalty. Man this match was insane. I honestly thought it was going to end on a tie, but never in a million years in this way. Bradley, Quansah, Kelleher have been a revelation and Gomez is a tank. They’ve stepped up in ways we could’ve only dreamed of.
Brilliant stuff. As a supporter, I don’t know if we can win the league with so many out. But I know based on that performance we surely could. Never do I recall seeing a City team shift into preservation mode because they couldn’t stay with someone. Up the Reds!
Good video, very good and data based tactical observation but also mixing in a lot of opinions.
Not saying it’s good or bad, only it’s there for others to notice it as well.
Spot on analysis of the Bosses tactics
This match enraged me so much. i simply cant find any joy from the performance. Once again 3 points denied to Liverpool by incompetent refereeing. I was onboard with VAR but after this match i simply cant see the point of it. Why does it even exist if the refs arent going to use the technology to make the correct call and instead use it to not contradict their mate on the pitch? Get rid of it. i find the mistakes by the onfield officials far more tolerable.
Good analysis, that was a great game. Damn I thought Liverpool had it.
Thanks for your output. As a Liverpool fan I don't consider this result as the reason we will loose the championship. It's this result, plus the Tottenham result and the Arsenal result. That's a possible 5 points we lost due to VAR not working. Also that's also a point less for 115 and Arsenal. I understand the two penalties might have been missed, unlikely yet I'll concede it, but the goal that was scored was scored.
A goal that was so onside you could see it from space with a basic telescope. On that basis if you just give us that one point it could be the difference between everything and nothing. If you give us the five points I think the league is over.
I know people will talk about the Forest decision but it's not the same thing as a penalty or a goal that was scored and 115 have a few other decisions go their way this season.
If we do loose I hope it's to Arsenal as they are not fundamentally corrupt as an organisation.
The fact that 115 are known as 115 for things dating bake years and nothing has happened makes me think a bigger inquiry is needed into the whole system. I'm starting to wonder if the have bought the whole shebang.
I understand that sounds unhinged and it's not something I feel comfortable saying but when it starts to quack like a duck it just might be one. It's not like football is beyond corruption in fact it is steeped in it.
For all I know we could loose the next six games but that's not the point, I'm just sick of the perception of corruption.
If Liverpool win this league, with all the injuries and above mentioned, it will be against all odds and be the greatest win ever maybe apart from Leicester . That is unfortunately why I don't think it's going to happen.
Really enjoy Mandem’s Analysis, Comments and Humour 🔥🔥. Great Video.
Game deserved a result. Liverpool outplayed City after those small tweaks the whole time.
Enjoyed watching Diaz wipe the floor with Rodri and Walker 🔥🔥🥶🥶
I fear Klopp's genius won't become fully apparent until next season. Masterful tactician
VVD is a man mountain, he single handedly kept us in the game in the first half. Klopp inevitably changed his tactics and after the first 20 minutes we settled in the game. Wataru Endo u r absolutely a monster. MacAllister is signing of the season alongside Rice. In the end what u said about Rodri's pre match talk sums up Klopp. U can have 100 million and 60 million players on the bench but u still ain't going to beat Klopp's Liverpool at Anfield even if he has a 16 year old player playing in this side, this is what TAA meant when he said this means more
