City most attacks are coming from KDB, supplying for Haaland. Shut him off, and u shut down 80% of city threat. The only moment fred and team missed marking KDB, it led to City s goal. KDB is class, but ETH has shown other teams how to shut off City. Fred was playing as the role of Park Jisung in Fergie s era, though not as good, but hope fred can improve further.
Absolutely right đđŒđđŒđđŒ.
OR
City's form has dropped lately and united had to rely on stupid offside decision to win
Mark rodri first.
@@pamoweiberezi5315 Rule it off you turmoil
â@@pamoweiberezi5315 We had many many shots on target nd rules are rules .Rashford didn't touch the ball
United should have been 2-0 up at half time, TenHag did well with those subs as they changed the game, he's the man of the match
Good with the subs but could have brought Martinez on a couple minutes earlier and also I get tense when ever maguire and mctominay come on the pitch
Crazy how the subs always makes an impact.
@@ChildishGabito crazy how Pep doesn't use them.
@@url584 i think it was more of a fitness problem with licha more than anything
Exactly.... this game should have been put to bed in the first half..... we dominated them and hurt them on the counter, but just couldn't finish... Either way, Excellent 3 points!!!
My main takeaways :
1. Bruno still works best in the middle
2. Need a direct running winger like Garnacho
3. Casemiro reading of play is good but very sloppy passing today
4. Need to integrate Weghorst quickly because Martial is made of glass
5. Haaland completely went missing today, ETH's tactics nullified his threat.
6. Really need Fred in big games because of his energy, Eriksen's tackles lack bite. What a job Fred did on De Bruyne.
7. Perhaps it's a tactical tweak from ETH but once Garnacho came on, AWB also started bombing forward far more which gave City more problems.
Agreed with the exception of 6. Fred is a complete enigma. You just dont know what Fred will turn up, but I think since Cas has upped his game so much, Fred is starting to be inspired by his fellow Brazilian.
@@whodouthinkuare 6 is completely spot on. Fred does well in big games.
Wow that's offensive to glass which is miles stronger then Fartial. Imagine if we had an actual striker for this game, we could've had a few more goals
Maybe fred is another tlp (three-lung park)?
Don't agree with 3.
1 shot on target
We were so good defensively and one of few teams to pocket haaland
And from one shot on goal they scored. It just shows how little city needs to score but anyway deffence was so good today.. GGMU !!
@@velisastijepovic2958 no, it shows how little SHITTY is going forward in the heat of stretford end
Not only haaland but KDB, Foden an Maurez were pocketed too
Ture hahaha go go man utd United we stand, divided we fall.
@@dhaveydhast3691 you sure you understand what you typed?
My main takeaways :
1. ETH tactically outfoxed legendary Pep
2. Trusting in ETH tactics, culture, and discipline is now obvious
3. Who plays in a game is no longer for debate - Shaw playing in center-back?
4. WBS finally regaining his confidence and very nifty with possession and thinking more
5. No room for Haaland in the box means no damage or threat
6. Fred was solid on KvD
7. Missing Pogba? No! United now have three lethal passers for Rashy, Antony, and Garnacho: Casemiro, Eriksen, and Bruno
Sidenote: ETH was right about Ronaldo. Anyone who thinks Ronaldo can run faster than Rashy and Garnacho are on drugs. No more drama!
fred isn't a lethal passer, rather a "three-lung sung"
Fred not a lethal passer, that is bruno
And for the record Ronaldo is 37 and going to be 38 so it's not necessary to mention he isnalow than Rashford and garnacho
Man said fred. I'm sure you mean bruno.
@@speedwagon8852 Youâre right.
The moment when Ten Hag bring Garnacho on he didnât just change the game but also change the shape. Bruno became far more effective when heâs in his no.10 role,Rashford becomes more dangerous in the middle and Antony being on the right meant United became more dangerous. Fredâs game was incredibly crucial in how nullifying KDB is. Even if he wasnât man marking De Bruyne his other areas were impressive.
good point aside from rashford. Hes at his best on the wing, its just garnacho cant play striker and rashford can, ten hag trusts garnacho an incredible amount to take on defenders
Unlike Antony who doesnât take anyone onđ€Šââïž
@@txulayne He's slowly gaining confidence back and was trying to dribble yesterday instead of passing back, believe me he will come good
Haha
@@txulayne ETH should try Pellistri
Love how ten Hag exploited Pep's greed of playing Walker forward.
I have always said that as much as Haaland is a beast when it comes to scoring goals, playing as a false 9 is not his strength nor is intense pressing.
In my honest observation, I think City work perfectly when Alvarez is playing in that centre forward/ false 9 role because he is very intense with his pressing, tracking back and his small size enables him to dribble in tight spaces. Alvarez is more of a Guardiola player and I know I might get attacked for saying this since most City fans are obsessed with Haaland.
As much as we criticized the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Sterling for not being as clinical as we needed them to be, their intense and tireless running really helped City a lot. Sterling was not always a clinical guy especially in big games but he always instilled fear in the opposition with his pace. The opposition's fullbacks and entire defence could not push forward because of Sterling lurking on the wing and his fast pace made defenders and fullbacks stay put thus enabling City to move the ball quicker and more fluid.
Now after the departure of Jesus and Sterling, the opposition defenders are not as particularly worried about being out-paced. The only player I'd say opponents worry about on the wings is Foden. Grealish is a different player to Sterling. Haaland is a different player to Jesus. Haaland is of course more clinical but Jesus is more like a tireless runner and hard worker. He creates opportunities for others to score.
I always knew that City bringing in a typical striker was not going to be the answer. City needed a good finisher but not necesaarily a striker. Peps system works best without a striker. Even Aguero had to convert to a false 9 under Pep and since Aguero had a much smaller body compared to Haaland, he performed better in that false 9 role.
Zinchenko is another guy who was really underrated at City. His intelligent positioning both in attack and defence helped City a lot. Not saying Cancelo has not helped City, he obviously has done so massively but Zinchenko was just more fluid and less error-prone. The only thing that Zinchenko lacked for a fullback was pace but he covered that with very smart positioning and his ability to read the game was also really good. My 2 cents.
Wonderfully explained... Have you done any course in football analysis?
Sport onđ
Perfectly describe
It's just that city's players are technically declining so we're putting in less dangerous chances, which have reduced to less overall chances probably because of the criticism of being too reliant on haaland, so he received less of the ball. We need another target man in an explosive winger to replace the likes of sane and sterling to take on their man and create chances to reduce our one-dimensionality in attempting to just play through the centre rather than just alvarez over haaland, we faced similar problems at Soton with the lack of creativity. And I completely agree on zinchenko like the loss at Anfield, but honestly, i think fernandinho's departure was also really crushing, he just had the passion and winning mentality to put everything he had into his game but for now I think that Dias' injury is the biggest current problem in our defence. There's just a lack of discipline and leadership back there, which could explain our laziness on the ball rather than the fast-paced exciting man city from 17/18 to 21/22.
I think foden should be playing fan a 9 and put Haaland in a position or a more tucked in winger.Wide because Haaland is never good on the ball
Regardless of the outcome, this game was a delight to watch in terms of tactics from both managers
For a second, when Grealish scored 2 Minutes after coming on, Pep must have thought he was a genius once againđ€Łđ€Ł
he is.
He is..united just got lucky that VAR loves them so much that Bruno's goal wasn't offside
â@@mr_archer44 one shot on target admit it united deserved that win
đđ
@@thebookdecrypter lmao, city were robbed
How can you say the loss was harsh on City when the XG says United created the much better chances to score? Possession doesn't win games, goals does!
Man City only had one shot on target which was the goal ... Lol
Refs were actually shit. Missed an obvious foul on rashford from rodri where he's held, then the offside thing which seemed a bit much. Although to be fair, one shot on goal from city with what 72% possession is really bad. Haaland only 19 touches? Crazy
and that touches is mainly going backwards
I could kinda understand missing Rodri's holding Rashford (which deserved a yellow), but VAR should have picked that up.
Ten hag masterclass
Ref masterclass u mean
@@august7598 can you stop crying? jeez!
@@august7598 ten hag masterclass. Keeping city only to have 1 shot on target the whole match is considered as a masterclass. United was the unlucky one with all those chances they could kill the game in the first half.
Yes
Masterclass
Play all they could only to score ZERO goals
Limit city to only 1 shot target,which was a goal
Then have the referees provide a lifeline because the MASTERCLASS of sitting back and waiting for counters didn't work
A true MaStErClAsS indeed
@@pamoweiberezi5315 stop crying already and get over it
Best Analyst in football. Thanks for that â€
I think that 6:3 loss to Man City in the 1st game was evidence of how bad we played that day. In the 2nd leg we were prepared for them, we anticipated their game and nullified it. Ten Hag got his tactics and player selection spot on.
In terms of the 3rd free man on the wing(triangle) you would then have Fernandes free to block this extra man (being the fullback) on the right and eriksen being free to block the fullback on the left--in turn martial and Rashford are free to block rodri or the spare pass in defence -- I think defensively Ten Hag is doing very well which creates a solid foundation to win the ball in almost any area of the pitch for a speedy counter, and because your CAMs are shadow blocking the CDM/s or fullbacks then you have the bases to use them quickly as they're already in position to free martial/Rashford who were shadow blocking the CBs. There was always an imbalance of at least 1 less defender when Manchester United countered
How can this loss be harsh on them? It should have been 4... Them lucky bastardsđ
2 offside goals đ€Ą
@@THENAGES he didn't touch it but he covered it and obstructed the defenders so he was involved in the play dumbass but what I'm gon say it's Trafford lmao enjoy the win I know it's been 2 years since ur last victory đ

Just earned my subscription. Very concise
Damn Man United are actually improving without Ronaldo
Anybody with an ounce of knowledge for the game would know that. Only Ronny's worshippers couldn't see it.
@@AzizTastic it's not cr7 the problem. It's like if psg now signs Jurgen klopp and ask Messi to play like mane and press like tank he will fail and would u say its Messi fault?? No. Cr7 is not a great ten hag style player. It's not his fault they changed 4 managers during his period and did nothing they promised to him.
@@linsesunny2470 No player is worth changing the rest of the club for, especially a player aged 37. That player should cope with the situation and not ask the rest to cope for HIM, that's a big difference. Like asking all players to adjust to Cavani, Ibra, Rooney and Falcao, but nobody said that before because they are not worshipped like Ronny's fans. When their performances dropped they accepted being a squad player unlike him, he could have been an AMAZING squad player but he wanted to start every game. THAT was exactly his problem. No matter how much you try to sugar coat it, Ronny does not fit this United style. And you know what? It is okay to say that, it doesn't mean Ronny is a bad player or anything like that. Regarding the promise you're talking abouit, shheesh don't get me started with this childish narrative. This is like Kane with Levy promising to release him the second year, please don't be to naĂŻve and put your emotions over rational thinking. I stand with my statement; United play better without Ronny, even before he left.
@@AzizTastic no that's the problem . Cr7 don't have to change, it's united and their owners who messed it up, bringing in a player like cr7 not any small player, cr7 fight fir titles or records a big player and u have to respect that player first thing and u should sign Messi cr7 players only if u think they are good for your system and plan. They signed him he delivered others didn't despite changed 3 mangers in his first seasons itself and played not a consistent tactics or anything and still carried the team by him and de gea. Now they signed ten hag who is Completely diff style of tactics, which already is a cheating to cr7 and u signed ten hag and asking cru to change his style of play and sacri3fir others while he was cr7 the seasons before that and before in juve too he was great. Now they actually cheated him, I'm not saying ten hags fault but utds fault it is. U cannot sign a big player at 36 age and in 2nd year ask him to change style of play or find diff club cuz it's difficult for him to find club at this age and so u shouldn't have signed him for the first case if that's the case.
@@AzizTastic and u compare cacani and all these players to cr7? Wow. Cr7 and Messi they have diff career to others if some one wants to sign them sign only if they can play their style of play. Don't bring them and put them in bench and say u don't fit lol it's with not cr7 or Messi, it's cheating to any other players, u cannot buy haalnd in psg and say hey we got 3 forwards so u need to play midfielder?? Lol. Get some ball knowledge basics. And ronny don't fit to united style? đ What u know abt United style, where did u think think cr7 became cr7 and got his balldors and all? He played under saf the best united manager and his style is the real United style of play. Cr7 was the best in it. U think ten hag football is united football?? Lol. Its ajax football. Get some basic
I thought before the match, whatever the result, definitely gonna watch football made simple analysis... didn't know it will be uploaded so fast
Mou : " u can take the ball, i take the three points!" đ€Ł
Following football made simple from initial days. Watching him grow is just fascinating
Fantastic analysis. Really interesting. Well done đ
Very great analysis as usualđ but one part you didn't mention was the very high line united kept despite allowing city majority of the possession. That also played a part in nullifying Halland and Co...
Great analysis â€
In ten Hag we trust đ the guy is a genius đ Erik said in June about rivals 'Era's come to a end' he was right. â đ
Best simplification of tactics, makes it easy to understand. Thank you
I said at the time that the 6-3 result should be ignored. ETH decided to play City at their game to highlight the fact to owners, fans and indeed the players that the players were not up to the required standard and that they would need to adhere to his methods in order to get results. Many so called âfootball Expertsâ laughed at what they considered my naivety. You all need to stop over complicating what is essentially a simple game.
I meant to add that you must be very circumspect when you add what you consider to be the final part of the jig saw. City added a goal scoring centre forward in the belief that it would make them unbeatable, they made the same mistake about 50 years ago when their then celebrity manager, Malcolm Allison, brought in one Rodney Marsh in the belief that it would copper
fasten the old First Division title in the run in. It did the exact opposite and they disintegrated.
In this match, United was able to prove to everyone that it is not a hype train đŻđŻđŻ
You could see that the adjustment of using Walker, Mahrez and De Bruyne worked out for them in the goal. Walker drags Malacia out of position and creates the space for KDB to drive into. Rashford was aware of the run quick enough and the damage was done once Mahrez played it into space. As for United, I think they did well for most of the game pressurising the wingers especially. Anytime the ball was played into a wide area which a lot of the times it was to Malacia's side, he would engage. Sometimes a little too overzealous but it worked to get them out of rhythm.
Please I don't know if you'd answer but can you do an update tactics of ten hag this season and napoli tactics
Great video as always!
A great game and a real derby. City's build up play was decent at the weekend but they are uncharacteristically showing poor quality in the fianl third. They also appear to be playing too safe and too slow. I don't expect this to continue however. Full credit to United and ETH. Post Ferguson, this United team look more organised, more effective in possesion and very fit. IMO, they will challenge for the title & win the League cup.
All the best!
Fred was amazing today
Damn bro, you're quick! đ đ
Love this channel. I'm a new sub after this video. Looks like a bunch of people with good soccer brains the comments also. đ„
brilliant work
Nice, all I hear is that one should exploit the space behind the wing back walker đ
great analysis. should be ten hag's assistant manager; to date we have very strong mid-fielders from dmc to amc, when used properly by proper coach with and will to win desire for 90 + mins, can beat any team.
man marking are so important in these big games
Manchester was red, is red and forever will be red.
Respect!!!!!!!
Great analysis, a point of corrction not wall pass instead is a link up play
Very nice explanation. Was Awesome performance by Man Utd.
Awesome work. What software and screen are you using?
Hi and welcome back to football made simple đ đ â€â€â€ Gave me chill đ€€đ€€
Top analysis as usual
I think city is not at their best this month
Thanks To their lack of désire and our défense and clinical attack and ref decision we won this Time
Go ureds go
I like the way all manchester United players later realize that they have upper hand than Manchester city to win the game.
Great analysis
Great work
Happy to be a united fan đą
@footballmadesimple hows this win different from the wins (2) ole got against Pep?? If you can pls make a video explaining the differences.
Halland offers you nothing if the supply is cut off.
Everybody seems to forget how wan bissaka do shut man city's wingers every time
Foden and Sterling still in Wan-Bissaka's pockets
Niceđđż
Once Martial and Ericksen came out, Mu got more energy to bomb forward.. Halland not mobile enough to suit Man City tactics. Anyway good win for Manchester united. Ggmu
I would say it's because ETH put one more winger in. Before garnacho came in, united actually struggled to do link-up play with the frontline due to Martial's absence.
@@deconaga69 Martial's absence sums it up! Utd playing with 10,whenever he plays......Add Garnacho,and it's a different game.
much love ...would u add some vid too...pike match games too...not pictures only.thank you
NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT AWB HE POCKET FODEN AND MADE HIM SILENT
Where is Foden đđđthey had to sub him
City didn't even create any chances really, just some wayward half chances.
They had only 2 (arguably 1) real solid chances, the grealish goal and maybe the haaland chance where casemiro just barely got his foot in the way of the ball before he shot with his left
Wonder how their goal came about
cutting kdb out of the game by putting fred on him was genius, took out both him and haaland with one simple tactic
I think United have found the new Ji-Sung â3 lungâ park
WOW, THE GREATEST
This man know his football yes đ
Please what app did u use for the lineup formation
Analyse matches of other leagues as well bro. Like Villarreal madrid and Napoli Juventus
All nice to discuss the tactics and that and Ten Hag did do a good job at planning out a strategy to allow United to win. But the reality of it was that United's victory was owed to a bad interpretation of the offside rule by the officials. Without that call, City win or at best United may have nicked a draw but that's specualtion because one doesn't know if United would have scored the anther without the first goal. All in all the sign of progress is that United were able to put themselves in a postition that would allow them to reap the benefits of a blown call. That in and by itself is a sign of improvement from a squad that was losing to the likes of Watford, Southampton and Everton and drawing against Burnley 1 year ago.
7/10 for United because they had more shots on target(4:1) and played a dangerous transitional football and 5/10 for City because though they enjoy 70% possession,there are hardly any activities in the United penalty box.
This is how Erik Ten Hang deals with a team that loves dominating games, something familiar against Real Soceidad 2nd leg in UEL⊠I am expecting such thing in Play off against Barca⊠Common ETHâ€ïžâ€ïž
Good analysis
Martial and Saha from France for United, good but made of glass!!! SAF had replacement for Saha but now ETH has finally signed one for us! Hope things go well!!!
Still watching the vid so sorry if you mentioned it, but watching the game I noticed there were a lot of passes from the city players that went nowhere, like they expected someone to be there but they werenât
Something to do with training for this game ?
Can u do brighton and liverpool. Was a great match dezeerbi pressing triggers and pivot movement were really interesting
What do you use for editing my brother?
great
Can you please do video analysis on dezabri tactic, philosophy.... Thnx
Very underrated channel.
Haaland as good as he is. I have yet to hold my head and say âwowâ, heâs a fox in the box, 6 yard striker. Easy when youâre in a city team making chances with 70-80% of the ball a lot of the games. Simply shut down past couple of games.
I think he's incredible when you are facing lesser opposition that cannot match man for man, but against a top-level team, it's harder for him. His game isn't there yet. That being said, shutting down city was as much a function of "just have Casemiro possibly the greatest holding midfielder ever" than anything else. Here city had 70% possession but united limited them to only one big chance and 5 shots total. Not many teams will be able to do that.
@@niksutliff so united are a top level team now? He scored hattrick last time around but okayđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
De bruyne is the only player who tried to find haaland, everyone else takes the ball outwide rather than play a simple through pass to him.
If city had to play sit and counter and left united be the ones to leave spaces behind...well...
@@niksutliff yeah yeah.. but the whole mbappe vs haaland thing was a joke for me lol. Mbappe was and is always better. He has everything!
Despite of the score, 1 shot on target against a team like city is a massive W
Can you please make one BEFORE Utd: Ars??!! I'd like to watch that game with a little more understanding.
70% possession and 1 shot on target đ
Please please make a tactical analysis of Napoli under Spaletti
His Napoli is ballin right now đ
City over depends on Haaland. He was kept quiet for most of the game. It was obvious Pep should have switched him for Alvarez by the 70th min.
Thats the problem united faced when they had Ronaldo
He was kept quiet by his own players,since they would rather play the ball outwide rather than play a simple through pass directly to simple,I would have loved to see shaw try manhandled haalnd off the ball but they kept try to cross from the flanks
Ole heavily relied on fred mctominay as pivot with lindelof maguire as cb. He never experimented using different set of players means his tactics wasnât that flexible. I can still remember when SAF used evra as cb and heinze lb. Here we can see shaw as cb and malacia as lb. See how good managers are tactical.
Fergie use John O'Shea on almost every position .....
Can you do Brighton vs Liverpool?
I am here few days before the Fa cup final
This guy will be a good manager
Great, now I'm waiting waiting for Liverpool and Brighton game
10/10
Pep should find a solution of leaving Harland alone. City needs a runner who not only can support him, but also can confuse the markers. In this match, they need a third and extra man when KDB and Silva were marked.
Someone who plays like Muller could cover Haaland, like he did for Lewandowski. People shouldn't force players whose job isn't to track back to do so, there are multiple ways the manager can turn this into an asset.
What app are u using
It will be slightly worrisome to ETH that the City goal exposed all three of his defenders involved as ball watchers. Ball doesn't score.
Could kindly break down liverpool and brighton game
From what i heard...Silva still dribling the back forth back forth all the way to his house...
I dont understand why pep did not use haaland's strength breaking behind defender's line and his areal threat instead of forcing him playing as a false 9.. He is a great finisher with great attacking positioning.. plan a is not working then why not go more direct? stubborness can kill sometimes
Pep has never had a plan B
Bruno was a gem. But over depending on Haaland is main issue of City. Try to confuse defence with multiple strikers.
â€ïžđ€
It's this simple boys without a proper 9 pep is a beast manager with a striker he's one man down
We need napoli vs inter Milan, please that was a pure tactics game,
Man U never over extended it self and stayed in zone - they never overplayed the passes... other teams bite and arent disciplined! The wingers for Man U are wicked quick - its hard to stop them. Easy game plan and executed to the end.
Need one for el clasico az well pls
There's a new Bald Sheriff in town.
Their goal came partly because Fred was forced to cover walker's movement and Rashford did not track de Bruyne's run leaving Casemiro to try and recover
Yeah, rashford due to his injury did not track back making it a 3 to 2 man situation. Casemiro read the danger late and tried to cover up hence leaving his man silver but it was too late as KDB already got the ball in the open space leading to the goal... that's why ETH moved Rashford to the middle and put in garnacho
A one for eerling harland a 9 for luke shaw
