Pep deserves more praise for his tactics here. I mean John stones was playing as an additional cdm alongside Rodri. Man City under Pep is a team where players can play out of position seamlessly. We have seen players like Walker invert and play as a second cdm, Cancelo as well, Bernardo silva etc. A couple of weeks ago, we saw Bernardo silva playing as a make-shift left-back and yet City won those few games that Pep tried that 'insane' tactic.
Also Julian Alvarez fits perfectly in this City team. His intelligent movements, his mobility, his link-up play, his tireless workrate makes City move the ball so flawlessly and the players are able to interchange positions seamlessly. Alvarez is truly a gem.
At one point seeing Grealish, Kev, Stones and Mahrez being on the right side in Liverpool's corner for a while was pretty hilarious
When do you even see shit like that. Just bonkers lol!
Stones world class
No doubt the best manager in the world
Stones is the most underrated player at City. World class indeed.
and Alvarez play as midfield when played against Burnley
and got 2 goals and 1 great assist through ball to Haaland
Alvarez will probably never have the numbers and headlines that Mbappe and Halland get. The difference is, he makes the entire team play better. He is very tactically aware, he is so so good drifting back and occupying the classic 10 position. He presses and defends effectively. The level of tactical awareness is basically unheard of for someone his age. He was born to play as a false 9 in this team.
he is a Raumdeuter just like Muller
Also having Messi who’s another false 9 helps him with Argentina. With the addition of being coached by the man who introduced Messi to the false 9 position in the first place!
He should go to Real Madrid
Agree! City need a player who contributes to team play and Alvarez is a compete player. In this game it is evident how he changes the fluidity of the team compared to Haaland. With Haaland on the pitch, City plays like they are "playing FOR Haaland" and with Alvarez they are 11 players playing for the TEAM. For me this is their best game of the season. It was beautiful and the most organized game so far.
@@stnsds I think theres a way to play both, play alvarez as a 10 in City's new 3241 formation alongside KDB
Pep will over see any and every challengers until he retires. saw off fergie twice, mourinho, Klopp, tuchel and arteta is next. He will outlast everyone of them tactically.
How much miney has pep to soend and how much has Klopp ?
Just remember his big pot of money too....still one of the greatest of all time though
Tuchel??? Pretty sure he had a hard time against him.
@@ataladin87 He defeated Tuchel too many times at bayern and then man city. Go check their records.
@@maximiliandunschede8264in all those years klopp had
= best Wingers in Premier league.
=Best GK in PL .
= Best fullbacks in PL .
= Best defender in PL . Yet he only won 1 league title in 9 years & half , very overrated , good manager but extremely overrated by Liverpool fans . GUARDIOLA outclassed him he have 5 Premier leagues in last 6 years and in fact Klopp literally copy GUARDIOLA tactics 😒 different levels mate never compare GUARDIOLA to klopp 🤨
At this point its not only tactical, liverpool are finished, they have never been the most technical team like a real or man city, but they were the best at never giving up, always working hard, high energy that very few teams could match, they just look dead, it's crazy tbh, from what they did last season to this, crazy
Pep and Klopp is like Professor X and Magneto
😂
not magneto but mr bean..
@@mr.hanafigitu2858 fr
Still got ten hag as wolverine and arteta as cyclop.
The best analogy I have heard so far.
Pep is definitely the greatest manager of this generation by far
Being able to be so consistent in the toughest and most demanding league in the world season by season just unreal
Even when City was behind in the scoreline they could score two three goals easily
Pep has to show it in the cl. Hiw many times did he disappoint in bsdig cl games
@@maximiliandunschede8264 thats not his fault. Man City is just cursed all these dumb oil clubs are cursed to never win the UCl
@@maximiliandunschede8264 I mean he's already won the CL multiple times. He's already proven his skill
@@bluemoon1716 Give me Messi Xavi and Iniesta at the same time and even my dog as a coach wins the Cl with this team
@@maximiliandunschede8264 that's the most ridiculous thing I've heard today. You're one of those people who think they can do what professionals at the highest level can do. Didn't know you also worked at barca B team and brought youth players through the academy. What a ridiculous statement
When I played Fifa 23 I used Stones as my CDM due to Rodri being injured and imagine my surprise when Pep played him as CDM. Tactical genius😂😂😂
You are a better coach than Lampard 😂
Thank you for being so concise and for releasing this so quickly ❤
This match was a perfect practice for bayern in the champions league, does pep start Alvarez or Both.
It is ridiculous to think he would start anyone over Haaland and I don’t think there is any way Haaland and Alvarez can play in the same team. It is a real shame that Alvarez is being overshadowed by one of the best players in the world and hopefully he will get more game time.
Totally agree, but pep will find a way
Massive call for bayern game.
Pep should just sell Haaland, the same way he got rid of Ibrahimovic from Barca..! Erling is a truly amazing striker but he simply does not have tactical nous or positional awareness to play in the La Salida Lavolpiana system. All he wants to do is bear down on goal. This has disrupted City's fluidity and interchangeability. As a result, City are no longer the 96-100 points team that they should be. 🤔
@@KloppMichaelBarnes Maybe but we saw against Leipzig how Haaland was improving at link up play and dropping into midfield to provide options. It's also possible that Haaland can grow into the role and improve city after a season or two because he gives them the KDB-Haaland direct crossing option which they didn't have before
If there were Haaland instead of Alvarez, link up play would be difficult. Alvarez is not as good as Haaland in term of finishing but he is good at link up play. Moreover,Baby Jack was superb yesterday.
Great video. But a question: Can you put one day here a problem with Liverpool in every area during this season? I think will open the eyes to most people... and for open a debate about what type of players will need to buy
I think the 'Pep Klopp rivalry' has ended! lol
U are a rookie in football 🤣
„Its not a rivalry, they always kick out ass.“
Klopp has less cards to play. let's see if FSG could do something for next season.
@@GavinQuan Luis , Gakpo , konate , Nunez , Carvahlo. Sure nothing has been spent lmao
@@BeerLicious where's the logic? more / less invested = something / nothing invested?
Thank u for releasing this video quickly 🙏...are u going to make a tactical analysis video on thomas tuchel's bayern vs BVB
Good video as usual but you didn’t talk much about how the City wingers demolished the Liverpool full backs. I remember you saying the City wingers have lost the explosiveness compared to Sane/Raheem time and i think i saw that explosiveness today or maybe Liverpool were that bad?
Liverpool were poor and lacked intensity all over the pitch. They made one tackle in the 2nd half! 😂😂😔
Liverpool's pressing and intensity became weaker and weaker every season as they lost key players who were absolutely amazing in it, which are Wijnaldum, Mane and Firminho.
Everyone tells MC played 3-2-4-1 last night, but in my opinion, City played 3-2-5-0 and dominated mid.
👍
Some key points i have observed in the match:
1- This is why you don't press in a 4-2-4 Formation against a team that likes to dominate the midfield, You'll basically get raped to death.
2- Im quite surprised you haven't mentioned how City tended to overload one side of the pitch before switching the play to the winger with either KDB or Gundogan overlapping to cross it into the penalty area or cutting it back to the midfield.
I don't think he mentioned it because it's how City already plays, day in, day out. Pep is famous for stretching the pitch as wide as possible, creating overloads, and leaving one of the wingers isolated for 1v1 situations.
@@tumishoramodisa9602 He uses this with false 9 tactics, but recently with haaland he plays winger more in the middle
Vid was amazing bro 🤟🏽💯
👍👍👍👍 tactical analysis
As good as you analysed this, nonoe of what you discussed led to a goal.. A simple observation. 1) For all 4 goals AA was involved - Totally out of position and playing everyone on for the first goal. For the second goal you AA was in the RW position and Fabinho couldnt make up the space left behind giving the attackers freedom to move pulling Konate out of positing. Third goal he lays it on for Gundagon while lying deeper than everyone else. Fourth goal AA doesnt track Grealish. Klopp may have issues with the midfield, I think he is to blame for not addressing the AA problem. If the midfield is not up to it anymore, then he needs to accomodate with a RB that can defend as a priority.
I think he needs to be dropped, I'm a Liverpool fan and he is becoming a liability. Robertson is also slipping a little. I think we should switch to a three at the back so that we are less exposed when they make errors.
He literally showed how this lead to Alvarez goal. And said 3 of the 4 goals were scored by using these scenarios. Please watch the entire video before making a comment and pay attention. Yes Trent was to blame as well. But Liverpool press was ineffective and Elliot was made to cover ake and gundo which freed up space in the midfield and Alvarez would drop in playing a pass to one of the pivots and or gundo and kdb. Liverpool would then overload one side which forced city to swith to the other side then grealish played a good pass to alvares and that's how the city's first goal was scored. You can't blame TAA for everything Klopp is also to blame.
Not just AA, those 4 goals all started with disastrous positioning pressing from Elliot and Liverpool's front 3 (epsecially Jota) actually.
An era is coming to an end, enjoy while you can! 🔥🔥❤️
Great video. i would love to see a more in depth analysis as to why stones is playing as a cdm. Why rico lewis was dropped. The back 5 arrangement and why it is effective. Why cancelo was dropped. ANd why pep all of a sudden is saying that walker doesn't fit the system anymore.
bro, actually if u seen cancelo play as inverted full back, Cancelo always got caught too high up the pitch. That's why first half of the season Man City conceed far too many goals because of Cancelo. Pep's inverted full back actually is not attacking but play as 1 progressor and 1 defensive like walker. Actually walker is best actually in right back tuck in as CB not inverting to midfield
Leave pep or kloop ...I appreciate your hardwork👏 here the match is not ending and you already have make a video on tactics😮
Might be time for Klopp to give 3 at the back a try
its not like at all given time they play in 1 formation they constantly move and change depending on who and were the ball is, just saying 3 at the back is not really a plan
@@powerkingez9682 No but it’s a starting point
@@Cynorkis I don’t think Liverpool have 3 actually competent defenders let alone 2
@@billyslack7833 fair point
@@billyslack7833 VVD is having a down year but he’s better than most. Same with Robertson. Konate has been very good when healthy. The problem has been Fabinho and TAA defensively.
Really excellent stuff
What a ball Manchester City has played❤❤❤❤❤
I don't see anyone mention Jack Grealish, the unstoppable machine
Pep literally saved the world from noise pollution
Fascinating.
There is something I saw in Chelsea v Aston Villa game. Can you please do the tactical analysis please?
Could you kindly explain what you observed from the match?
@@tumishoramodisa9602 Manchester City outclassed Liverpool in the second half, Liverpool's got lost in the game. That was obvious and 4:2:4 never works vs Manchester City
Sadio Mane was a real problem in Jota's position for opposing teams last year in Klopps system, and Liverpool hasnt solved his absence yet. You need someone who can physically pressure the defense into the box one-on-one and force them to react. Someone like Allan Saint-M of Newcastle is a prototypical version of what Liverpool needs. Hope they can find someone like that next year cause this year is done.
Playing with 4 2 4 against city is crazy
Especially if they are playing with inverted fullbacks, it's suicide.
@@FredericFreedom yeah, really don't understand klopp anymore, asking to gakpo of playing in the midfield area, it's not the type of play gakpo usually makes
@@matti6875 💯
It's the best way to beat city but with the right players
Liverpool mid field is in shambles
Jude Bellingham would be an absolute game changer instead of the clearly inexperienced Elliot
😢
It’s fallen off the cliff ever since they got rid of Wijnaldum
@Adnan S. nah , since the fail to release old foot
Their "mid"field
this was a satisfying match
Inverted full back is a masterstroke. It's hard to defend against.
After Liv sold Mane, they seems to be struggling alot
African curse 🤣🤣
As city fan, noone was more terrifying than mane when pool faced us...
90% of pressing and salah goals were just bcuz Sadio did smthg
Klopp should start Darwin further up 9 in his natural position and Jota Gakpo and Salah behind. Double pivot and the fullbacks in the middle of the pitch. Poor tactics in general for my dear Liverpool
after all, Liverpool's once successful generation is coming to an end, but a new dawn will rise eventually, so is City, only a few years later. As it occurs, we will see another EPL, this time more intense than ever, with Arsenal, Manu, City, Liverpool, a new big 4 age. Then the big 6 with a new, energetic Chelsea and Tottenham the toughest chicken of the league
Pep is Papa of Liverpool
Pep was brilliant and City played very well but the analysis is too simplistic. Klopp was naive and should have been less open but he most likely using the game as a template for the run in against the better teams rather than genuinely expecting to get 'a result' at the Etihad. Liverpool have technically inferior players to City, with two midfielders who can't run at speed, can no longer tackle or press anywhere near what is required at Premier League level... Their two younger physically capable midfielders are both injured and the other two are hopeless crocks 😂😔 So Klopp was stuck with Henderson & Fabinho ambling around chasing shadows. Liverpool's most threatening wide attacking forward Luis Diaz was also absent after a bad injury. Diogo Jota is nowhere near match fit after a long injury lay off, so effectively Klopp was carrying 3 players against one of the best teams in modern history, away from home. City were full of confidence and playing at the Etihad at least 5 points behind the Premier League leaders. The result should not have been a surprise to people who truly know the game.
so quickly
Against man city, pressing their back line isn't as effective as pressing the midfield. Liverpool should have focused on dominating the center, letting city use the wide lanes. Once man city has possession in the center, it's game over cus of their positioning
Where are you from? I can't figure it out ur accent.
VVD is an absolute scam nowadays, He couldn't tackle a player to save his life. Konate is the only Liverpool player who can defend. Robertson looked shaky from the start and he should have been subbed by Tsimikas at the end of 1st half. Mahrez and KDB were consistently getting between the lines and Liverpool should have dealt with that by moving to a 4-5-1 4-3-3 hybrid system
Tactics!! Having Trent in the side,was our downfall!!
This defeat proves that we need new game plans and more legs in midfield
As a Liverpool fan my idea would be to switch to a three at the back and move the full backs inside to support the midfield if outnumbered
Klopp just Didn't have good enough midfielders on his side.
That played a big part
Lol pep turned stones into midfielder why didnt klop do it with matip? I remember 2 years ago liverpool fans were saying that best cdm in the league is fabihno and henderson is better that kdb 😂
Just one guy, Julian's work rate was more than enough to disturb klopp's whole defense.
Klopp has been worked out 🤣. Longer they keep him the funnier it will get
6:22 The full match in a nutshell:
Nothing against Pep but any team can bash this poor Liverpool side. They are absolute shit this season.
Pep is the man
Pep dominated Klopp Tuchel dominated Pep and Klopp has beat Tuchel
Tuchel dominated Pep... Hahahahahahahaha... You have seen maybe highlights of CL final even that wasnt even close to domination.
pep has 2 Tuchels hanging in his pants. Thats the level of tuchel in front of Pep
@@dani45212 And yet he still couldn't beat him in the biggest game of the season lol. Remember Tuchel beat Pep three times in a row that season
@@ebnest123 and then pep beat his ass two times and he fan away and after that pep beat chelsea's ass 3 times and gonna beat their ass one more time this season and gonna beat their ass again and again till their shirt get red from blue 😂😂😂😂😂😂
On one side there is Pep which never got sack and
On other hand timmy tuchaaa. Famous bus parker got sacked from every team he coached 😂😂
@@dani45212 warra ucl for pep's city 😂
@@ebnest123 no worries even if Pep never wins with city and stays for 10-15 year, I am all for it.
CL is cup competition and requires luck in draws and in matches. This competition glorified by german and spanish teams cz their leagues were shite and they judge their success only on CL titles. They sack their managers if they win only league title and no CL. You can judge from that
Pep come on guys just attack Arnold that’s it 😂
Maybe Arteta should have come to watch this video man 😂
Van Dijk was non existent for all of City's goals. He always manages to disappear when s*^T hits the fan.
The rivalry ended
In other words if you were the Liverpool manager they would have won the match
Got powned by Pep 😮
Citeh didn't panic and the scouse arsehole dropped out
yo the photo of kloop is fanny
I'm surprised the video wasn't taken down then
City's midfielder's are better than liverpool
I feel like a lot of these problems for Liverpool could have been averted if in the last 2 summer windows, Liverpool rejuvenated their midfield and back line
But the dumbest thing they have done, is letting go of Mane.
I hear the owners are stingy
Pep didn't beat Klopp, Liverpools dire defence beat Klopp.
City “title contenders”? They are gonna win it. 😩
inshallah
Alvarez the new gen goat maybe? He plays like young Messi and I'm a ronaldo fan so yeah I fully believe Alvarez can out shine the likes of halland and Mbappe
If that happens
I think he should go to Real Madrid
@@robertbell5788 Please no I want him to stay and I'd much rather haaland go than Alvarez. Haaland is a better striker than Alvarez but the team just plays so much better when Alvarez plays instead of Haaland. His ability to hold the ball and his link up play is what makes him so good for us. He doesn't need to score 50 goals a season for us.
@@acs6682 I think by now you should know that the two have different playing styles and strengths. Haaland is just a pure center forward who thrives on scoring goals. I mean, why hate him on that? Both players are extremely talented.
@@adehlaide-qd5of Bro I'm not hating. I'm a Man City fan, I love Haaland. I'm saying that Alvarez offers us something that Haaland doesn't, but Haaland gets us goals. He scored 42 goals in 37 games for us, he's been our best player this season. I would much rather Haaland leave because Honestly I don't see him playing for city after 4 or 5 years especially if a team like Madrid come for him. But with Alvarez there's a chance that he could be our number 9 for a decade like aguero was, that's why I said what I said. I would love for both to stay but I think Alvarez will grow impatient with the game time he gets as opposed to Haaland who plays almost every game. I'm not hating just stating my opinion.
