Man city where abit leggy to be honest but man utd really played well and had a good strategy

That's because they're fully aware that no matter how good United's tactics were, City on their best day would have ran all over them. And that holds more weight to them, cos it's not the first time United have been this good. But it's one of the first times City have been that bad.

​@@MCFC-OK1416💀cope harder

@@MCFC-OK1416you couldn’t play the way you wanted to play because of our tactics that’s why you couldn’t run all over us.

@@mcnally1456 I don’t wanna shit on United, I’m not in the mood rn. But be real, City weren’t there mentally. They just won their 4th PL and their only other real interest would have potentially been the CL (but no…). United were simply hungrier for this one. For City it was like “yeah whatever, the season is already over, when am I getting my next drink?”.

Yea, that was really well done. :)

😂😂😂

Don’t forget Rashford’s amazing pass

@@rgcol that was my favourite part!

Ronaldo scored as a teenager against millwall in the fa cup final.

You said it. People only compare the no. of injuries but "who is injured" matters more than that. The Saliba and Gabriel example you gave should be enough for people to understand how much changes and comprises you have to make. And didn't Arsenal derail last season because Saliba got injured!? He is the only Arsenal outfield player this season to play all minutes in PL and Arsenal fought till the final day. Idk why people don't understand this and go further in discrediting the manager.

​@BIazy your brain clearly not working

​@BIazyOnana has been good since the champions league mistakes. Mount can't be blamed for injury, it's not like any player intentionally injures themselves. Shaw is arguably the best lb in the league when fit. And Rashford slump in form correlates with Shaw's absence due to his style of play. If we had Varane and Martinez we'd be way ahead. Injuries let us down, not the manager

​@@user-ig1ps2mr2r because people don't want to hear or accept excuses. Also, they already hate the club and/or the manager so will not let an opportunity to lambast him go begging

Martinez played 14 games this season, that's more than James and Nkunku and only 2 fewer than Chilwell. That's the new striker, the captain and the most expensive defender for Chelsea. Haven't seen many defending Chelsea's season with they had injuries.

🤣🤣🤣 genius

Why would people say haaland was unlucky? He missed? That's missing not luck

Yes he had the same plan last fa cup final and even before in derby where he beat city 3-2 with Fred being the workhorse. It's basically when his players stick to his plan when his teams neutralize and counter them.

United leveled that game btw...

The game should have end 3-1 if Bruno learn to make easy and obvious passes Not every pass need to be witty, pretty and complicated. He should played McTominay in. Hojloud turn and control dribbling Alvarez was beautiful Every ManU player played that match like they where from America and not Europe, with skills, individuality and techniques, while City play their boring football

100% agree with what u say. Would have wished ManU could attack with more identity rather than relying on counterattack and pumping long balls. Hopefully they can build on it next seasoning.

Better than Atlantis Football's video by far

​@@Mopark25 Agreed. I don't understand his obsession with Di Zerbi. He may be a good coach but it takes more than that to manage a club like united with high ego players. Why didn't Bayern go for him? Who knows .

It's been the best breakdown thus far. Waiting on @FootyWithAnEdge

Don't watch it if you don't want to there's no need for your negative sarcasm!

You forgot to give credit to the tactical genius behind this plan? Thank you Erik Ten Hag

I noticed that too, he didn't seem to run as he usually does, he seemed slower than he really is. Taking no credit from Walker as he's an elite RB.

The video already talked about ETH and obviously ETH was the mastermind, but I wanted to focus on players who may not get the due praise.

Agreed, rashford's hate is out of pocket. I'm sure he'll be back next season

@@lucasd3658 I want to believe that too but if the media keeps abusing Man United for being Man United, shit will hit the fan very fast

Welcome to darkage

I was saying the same thing after we lost 7-0 to Liverpool. Always back the manager. Always

He played the long con this season to lure City into a false sense of security lol.

So does the rest of the league hope yous keep him 😂😂😂

@@rua999rua999 How many trophies did your team win this year?

Proper pitbull!

True WanB run took one defender with him creating room for Bruno no look pass to that first teenager

I think he meant from City players perspective not closing him down. They didn't expect him to cut back onto right and ping it.

He didn't say it was done with his weaker foot...he said 'When it gets out to Rashford, this ball across the pitch, on his weaker foot, is just not on in a million years'

0:49 this guy just chat shhiiii all the time, Was liverpool in the semifinals not a big game? Did he not get it right then? The semifinals was last month that's not a "very longtime" is it? Was Newcastle not a big game? Did he not get it right then? Your analysis is so agenda driven, hard to take anything you say seriously

@@sk1pp0r84 read back what you just wrote

@@gavinchalland7709 edited my reply to make it clearer, thanks

Check out football made simple It's also a good channel for breaking down match tactics

I don't see any style of play adapted. If this summer can get 1 suitable manager for the club development, Ten Hag can go elsewhere.

@@iantan232hard to implement a style of play when you have a different squad in training every week because of injuries. he had a style of play last season, with a full squad and finished 3rd and won a trophy. he’s a good manager. he needs another season with a proper squad and guarantee we’re competing for the league again and winning trophies in the a year or two

@@iantan232 I see you are just here to repeat hateful pundit's useless talking points

Onana is a terrible keeper

I agree makes far to many blunders also he seems to panic way to much when he's given the ball especially when the Opposition are going at him many goalkeepers do some are great at shownig no hesitation Onana seems to do it all the time.@@fintanduffyable

I think everyone, including Onama, especially Onana, knows that he should have saved that shot.

True but garnacho should have stopped doku shooting on his right.

@@OfficialELTB I agree with that.

If you can reduce City to needing moments of magic to score then you've done a fantastic job already. Alvarez should've scored his chance though, Amrabat fell asleep for that

@@Mopark25 you're right. Alvarez had a great chance. That was a simple pass that sliced through the defence. It was a perfect execution my Utd team and in the second half, it was all about Utd hanging on, containing City and the difference to the last year final was Utd had a better bench with options even though not match fit. Ramas simply coming on to teplace Rashford says it all. Ramas was causing problems every time we went long. City couldn't come out all out.

_Utd were just a better team in all other areas._ *It seems you've forgotten* who you have in goal. Not that anyone could blame you 😂.

​@@linmk541 _Utd were just a better team in all other areas._ *It seems you've forgotten* who you have in goal. Not that anyone could blame you 😂.

It was a great piece of management because he used this same system against Newcastle and Brighton. The preparation for the Final at the forefront of his mind while changing things after the 4-0 loss. It's no coincidence we didn't have Bruno against Palace and then Martinez comes back with Varane and we win 3 games in a row against 2 good teams and the no. 1 team in the country.

Romelu Lukaku is your guy

@@yan.weatherNot even close to being that guy, shows how little both of you actually know about football and footballers

Respect to the 115

Fair play mate

@@MF_JONES😂😂

ETH has more trophies in his first two season than Klopp in his, and also has more trophies than Klopp since he came to United.

Would be disastrous if they sack ten haag

Gvardiol did his job vs Garnacho and returned the ball like trained for a counterattack. Ortega fucked up.

@utvara1 Gvardiol was getting exploited the whole game.

Doku's goal was not on Wan Bissaka, Garnacho was the one Defending Doku when he took the shot, watch the replay Through out the match he didn't play even 1 shot when Wan Bissaka was on him

Well, in that exact moment, there was also Bernardo Silva sneaking on the left wing. AWB just couldn't rush to Doku, because e would 100% pass to Bernardo and pretty much leaving him free

Yeah Dalot deserves a lot of respect. They (City) pretty much gave up attacking over the right for much of the game other then the Alvarez chance. And that wasn't on him.

Naah, Liverpool have one of the worst 1vs1 defenders in Trent and they still manage to go toe to toe with City. Another example is Carvajal at Real Madrid. You have to look at the bigger picture and have an overall system and tactics, not just keep a player that is good two or three games a season to block a pacey winger.

AWB can not cross, for example one of our goals came from an amazing cross from Dalot. You need players with vision and football IQ they will bring far more to the team than someone that can only defend. And on top of all AWB great defending skills we still conceded from Doku on that exact right hand side. We have to have a winner mentality and play not wind not play not to lose.

@@4kVIDEOS722 100% true.. that's why I mentioned having him as a backup.. just for specific scenarios..

😂🤡 negative foootball knowledge (not even 0)😅

Are you fucki mad? 25% possession 509 less passes and 8 less shots... You got lucky well done

Entire game????? You are a right clueless pillock .... City by far the better team in the second half, United just defending desperately, and especially so after Doku came on .... sometimes three or four United players trying to stop him. United only had 20+% possession in the whole game!!!

11:09 He didn’t start returning immediately because he was checking Rashford’s position. Ended up returning too late.

Brilliant mate 😂

Yea, I picked up on that too..

That was a surprising and totally unexpected bloomer , from someone who,you would expect would have all his bases covered.

That was a dig at Rashford, I believe 😂

Rashford left-footed ? No mate, your mistake.

I thought he meant the pass to Kobbie was never on, because of his weak foot rather than the pass he actually made

I'm a massive United fan and I'm backing Erik Ten Hag. I'll try to defend him here What we played in the final is a counter attacking style which suits our players because it was used by our previous 2 managers. (Mourinho & Ole). Now I'm not saying Ten Hag just threw this tactics in there because the players are familiar with it. No, It's just that it's really effective against teams like Man City, that's why Ole won 4 times against Pep and Mourinho beat Pep 3-2 at Etihad. But it's also important to know that Ten Hag did tweak this counter attacking formation to match this CURRENT city not city from Ole's era. We are all aware Ten Hag is trying to make us a transitional team, and Ten Hag's Transitional style relies heavily on our defense. Especially Lisandro Martinez and Varane, with this pairing being out for the entire season it has disrupted this system massively. I know you mentioned mid block, you can't play a mid block whiles playing a high press. That will only work if your backline plays a high line. Meaning being compact in the middle and having your back line as close to the midfield leaving space in behind knowing your center backs have the pace to cover if anything. Eg. like Tottenham, Aston Villa But we don't have pacey defenders. Maguire, Evans, Lindelof and even Varane are not suited for a high line. They can't go on a foot race with pacey strikers. The only option for Ten Hag was to completely abandon the transitional high press style and play maybe a counter attacking style So why hasn't he played counter attacking all season? First of all Ten Hag is a coach that wants his team to have possession, he doesn't want to sit back and get dominated for 90mins, If we play a counter attacking system it surely will solve the massive problem we have now which is the amount of shots conceded this season. But in the long run it derails your building process. Playing a counter attacking system means during the transfer window you will have to change your transfer plans and go for players who fit that system over a ball playing profile of player. Mind you, Ten Hag in the long run wants to have a ball playing team who will possess ball like the likes of Arsenal and City, so if you play a counter attacking system for results now you derail the future progress and when you later decide to switch to a ball playing system you will find yourself with a squad full of counter attacking players which means you will have to sell them and bring in players that can actually hold on to balls and play splitting passes through defense and trust me by then you will start to underperform badly. Every rebuild is tough, It won't be smooth in the beginning as the player profiles do not suit what you've set down to do and we can all see how poor we are due to injuries and effect of bad transfer strategies over the last 10 years. We don't need a new manager, what we need is a good recruitment system and Dan Ashworth to come in a set out what type of team we want to be and what style of football we want to play. If we get these things right we will become a title challenging team. We have a good manager in our hands, Ten Hag has won trophies in every club he has coached and in 2 seasons here he has been to 3 finals and won 2 of them. We need to back him, and clear out the players that are not good enough we will win titles

​@@Inside064spot on. People keep complaining about style of play. Last season Ten hag had to adapt to best of players abilities. This was the season he wanted to actually implement the style of play but unfortunately because of all the injuries it hasn't been successful. Do people really think he bought Onana to play long balls all season, lot of our players have very limited skill set. I seriously hope Ten hag doesn't get sacked.

@@Inside064 Good one and indeed. I think he mentioned it in his Neville interview. As it was the second season and with the signings made he wanted to start implementing his style. So long term get the players used to it even if that sometimes cost short term results. Because of all the injuries it was super inconsistent. Especially with the center backs out meaning the attack would still press while the defense sat lower because of lack of speed. So all that room in the middle came there. I think next season he will switch to a double pivot while still wanting to be more on the front foot. Instead of the singel pivot he tried this season. Probably the best balance. Then against the City's of this world can do what he did this match or similar.

@@Hyde_Hill Spot n brother. I really hope Ineos do not make a rash decision. It's still a rebuild process, it wouldn't hurt to trust him with at least 1 more season. If he doesn't show improvement by then it would make sense to pull the plug. But for now the wise thing is to stick with him. The players showed they trust and want the manager with the fight they showed in the final. Let him stay

@@okplld Last season was clearly adaptation and this season was implementing his style, exactly as you say it. And honestly I think it would have been Implemented or we would've seen glimpses of what is to come if injuries didn't derail our season. If you go back and watch our pre season match against Lens you would see what we missed in this season. Lots of great transitional plays and triangular passes made in that game. I hope he stays and gets backed by Ineos.
