2nd part coming very soon, video was getting too long. Great match to start the season though!

Haaland was making good runs today like good 9’s do but city were still playing like they had a false 9 on the pitch, fvcking play that through pass KDB!, also wingers always cutting back to midfield when there is a 6 ft 5 guy waiting to get on the end of crosses or balls squared across the 6 yard box. He’s also fast and strong, city can’t be sleeping on this advantages. The opposite was the case for Liverpool and Darwin, Darwin kept getting those through balls and crosses. Haaland still needs to work on his pressing tho and his determination to win back possession.

Oh this is a much clearer way to visualize the tactical analysis, looking forward to the rest!

klopp really adapted his tactic to fit in nunez, there were more through balls for nunez to run into, and crosses for him. also, hendo seems playing more aggresively than usual, his interception was really on point, thiago as usual calm and key to the build up. trent x salah, and adrian, man what kind of dark magic did klopp pulled of. also, haaland really needs to practice his headers, he can't count on his left foot all the time when it comes to mid to high crosses

There were so many long balls yesterday from Liverpool and the accuracy at a high level from all players. The switch passes style from Thiago, van dijk and Arnold really change the game!

Adrian's outlet passing was his weak point, resulting in many turnovers which ultimately contributed to MC's higher xG. Alisson in this scenario would not only provide better distribution from the back, but would also provide a longer threat to the wider Diaz & Mo.

Really liking this new format. I watched their (LFC-CITY) last Community Shield game from 2019 a week ago and compared to this, Liverpool were now much more confident. Henderson was making forward runs to support the front 3. Back in '19 their mid's were slightly more defensive, Hendo/Gini were trying to double team Trent. Because of very little space in the middle, City were mostly attacking from wide.

When football is not simple anymore, but your explanation is still far more enjoyable and interesting than a lot of pundit.

I'm very surprised to see this from Pep. To me it looks like he has an idea that he wants to defend in a 4-4-2, but was testing whether it would work against Liverpool. But a 4-4-2 will never properly defend Liverpool's style of play. I thought the Reds looked comfortable in possession, albeit with the CBs splitting much wider than usual, but for the most part they played the game they play in possession. In fact the only adaptation I saw from Liverpool that you don't see against a team like Wolves or Newcastle or Leicester is that the wingers were for the most part extremely disciplined in defense and Liverpool played a mid block rather than their "typical" gegenpress. Defensively it almost looked like they had switched teams! City were much more aggressive in the press than Liverpool. I also noticed that both Liverpool fullbacks seemed to be playing as pseudo-strikers at points today, there were times Robertson was sitting where Mane used to sit when the ball was with Thiago/Fabinho. You would think that is something teams picked up on. We all saw in the CL final that it takes one moment where both fullbacks are caught out to score. It seems interesting that Klopp seems to be even more attacking with the fullbacks than he was last year. The reason the 4-4-2 doesn't work against Liverpool is because you will always be outnumbered in an area pressing with two. If you bring the wingers in to even up the center, you leave Trent and Salah or Robertson and Diaz 2 v 1 outside, and I don't think any team in the world wants those 2 v 1s against them. If you keep the wingers wide to defend that, Thiago or Fabinho will dictate the play centrally, which is very dangerous- if the other team plays a high line, that is. Liverpool's only struggle is attacking good low blocks, and I think against Chelsea last year that was apparent. Part of that as well is playing a back 3/5, as there's a bit more wide cover that allows a team to use wingers to congest the middle and fullbacks/wide centre backs to defend the wide areas. I didn't think Nunez made as much difference as the scoreline seemed to show. He was looking for the run behind, and Liverpool started looking for that as they should, yes. You could argue that City changed how they defended a little to accommodate this. But I thought it was clear watching Ake that City had planned for this, and Nunez only had a few 1 v 1 looks. Whenever the ball was played to someone near Nunez (I'm thinking particularly one where Trent had the ball), everyone in the stadium knew he was looking to go in behind and that Trent's only good forward option was Nunez. Ake moved as the ball was hit to the space where the through ball would have to go, and made an easy interception. If, say, Harry Kane of 3 years ago was in Nunez's position there, I think Ake gets beat because Kane could have gone in behind or dropped to space, and Ake couldn't have anticipated which he was going to do. Like I said earlier, City changed how they defended, from defending the 9 dropping, to defending the 9 in behind. I think for Nunez to be a lasting threat he has to be able to do both and keep opponents guessing. On Ake, you could see he was a pressing trigger throughout the game. Liverpool singled him out in possession and he gave the ball away quite a lot because of this. It was interesting to see such a clear trigger in a game like this!

All I see is that these two teams are just on deferent level than the rest of us.They can adapt to a lot of formations and still look comfortable

Love how your tactical analysis is becoming more detailted!

10 bucks says klopp just looked up football made simple and analyzed liverpool pep's strat

Mohammad Salah passing... and after his the penalty goal, Liverpool Team is like a Super Power Team.. That goal was Spirit Killer Man City Klopp is crazy‼️👍🏻👍🏻💥

Great improvement with graphics now... EXCELLENT as always, teaching and explaining the game in clear details. Its not just about watching the game but understanding movements and tactics deployed in-game. Enriching our football knowledge always. Thanks.

Great analysis as always Love your video! Keep up the work

This is a brilliant analysis as usual.its so much better when you use screens from the game.

This is probably the best and most comprehensive and in-depth analysis of a game I have ever seen! Good job!

The improvements you are making in your presentation are immense! Amazing stuff as always

This is by far your greatest video, I definitely don't mind the length. The only criticism I could have here is that I didn't realise this was 2 parts until later when the Liverpool segment seemed to be taking up most of the video. It would be great to add the 2 parts bit to the title.

Liverpool clearly have more energy in the pressing n build up. Haaland isnt the man to make the constant pressure, but when city had the ball, he always look dangerous with his movement. That is also why matip n vvd didnt play a high line cus we all know how dangerous it is when haaland is around. But i was really amazed to see the energy from hendo, thiago n fab. Wow! The real threat from liverpool is diaz, salah n trent, n city players were too concerned with them. Cant believe my eyes diaz past walker so many times. He made it looked easy.

I don’t care what haters say, Haaland and Darwin will succeed, Haaland missed some big chances but his positioning and movement shows how well he fits into the team. Same can be said about Darwin, they are literally the missing pieces in their teams

What an amazing analysis. Happy for the victory today. Go Reds!!!

This format looks cleaner and clearer. Good work done! Keep it up!

glad to see you've got a digital display, I've been following this channel for a long time

It’s incredible to see how city we’re able to adapt so much and so quickly in a live game without any tactical time outs or pauses and halftime being the only time that could happen. It shows just how tactically astute and organized the whole city team is being able to change approaches with just Pep yelling from the sideline

Klopp adapted his tactics to fit Nunez more while Nunez adapted his his play to fit a more false 9 style. City and Haaland did neither this match

Whooooooaaaaaa nice setup man! Ive bee n following your channel for a long time now and i can still remember the different music you used to put on your videos:)) And seeing you become who you are now with this advancements is actually really heartwarming. Keep up the good work man! Oh and by the way, the screen is just a bit too bright.

Man I've been following you for some time and I can see how much you've grown through this video ... So much more crisp and visually entertaining. Keep up the good work buddy! 💯

Thiago is a class above. His awareness, calmness under pressure, long balls, pressing are all on point. Salah looks electric

Love the improvement. Keep the good work mate.

Your visualization, your actual match display is make it easier and enjoyable to digest!

Boi, you leveled up !! cant wait for more of these next season

Hi which program are u using for for the tactical board? Thank u, u are amazing

great analysis. very clean, all on point. easy to follow and fun to watch. thank you for the good content sir.

This new format is so much better to understand. Great job!

Brilliant analysis! Cheers mate!

mate great stuff. excellent on screen effects

I fucking love how you show us with video what you’re saying with the touchscreen. Mega good move man

Enjoyed that. Subscribed! 👍

Your analysis is second to none as usual..

What a vivid and packed analysis! I’m amazed!

-> Grealish was profoundly shit. -> Haaland made good runs. Don't understand why KDB didn't go for risky passes to try and pick him out (like he normally does) -> Foden and Alvarez were immense when they came on. -> Ederson was really good. -> As usual, Bernardo was the best player by far. He ran the whole show on his own. I don't think Pep gave even Messi, Xavi, Muller and KDB the amount of positional freedom that he gives Bernardo.....the guy was absolutely everywhere and annoyed the shit out of the Liverpool press. ->For some reason the defenders and Rodri didn't switch the play with long balls like they did last szn. -> Salah looked like he went back the zone from the first half of last szn. -> Thiago was defensively fantastic. And was also brilliant as usual on the ball. -> Diaz helped out the midfield really well by dropping back often. -> Liverpool's press was phenomenal. Their first 15 mins must've given them crazy confidence. -> I'm still not convinced with Nunez. Yeah, he got a goal. But his header to get the penalty was awful. And he screwed up the 1v1. Liked his passion, but still not convinced. -> Elliot and Carvalho bright prospects.

Love the new smart board. The production quality went up a lot. Keep up the great work.

Good video mate shows how much tactical changes are made in top flight football

Feel like Pep is gonna have to hide Haaland while pressing by having him shadow a pivot player and let another forward like Mahrez/Grealish/Alvarez/Foden do the running, would be smart to do something with De Bruyne, maybe defend deep, both players have injury histories, running them into the ground with high press is not helpful.

Loved this new style of presentation

Can you do a 10+ minute video on Arsenal’s pre-season form and tactics pleeaaaseeeeeeee!?!? We need to hear your elite tactical breakdown 😍

Good stuff, story really well told. Thank you.

great upgrade keep up the good work

Very good analysis. Pressing Liverpool back line is very often a poor strategy because we have 2 of the best CBs and GK on the ball. It’s why most teams that give Liverpool trouble are low block sides who basically show up to the match to not get battered by whatever opposition they’re up against

Road to 1 million is on! Loving the new look!

His analysis was excellent. However, he did not talk much about liverpool pressing and how it caused problems to Mancity. He was only talking about Mancity ineffective pressing.

Excellent analysis 🔥🔥🔥

Learning a lot from this channel . Now I enjoy football even more.

Love this format. 🙏

What is the name of software you guys are using? Can’t wait for the second part:)

Part 2? Thats something new and special 👍🏽

Hey my friend. You are well prepared for the seasons analysis

Thanks man...nice analysis.

Really good analysis. I can't understand when people say Pep is better tactically than Klopp. Their record against each other depsite Pep's comparatively infinite resources (at all the clubs) speaks volumes.

love the question mark next to cancelo's number 7

Analysis on screen yet (no more on paper)🤩🤩🤩🤩 well done you deserve it, i m engineer i wanna be coach

Nice. I really enjoyed it.

Very informative 👏👍💯

Early days but from a Liverpool perspective, some good positives. The speed of Diaz! He destroyed Walker twice. Walker is one of the fastest defenders there's ever been in the premier league. Obviously Nunez. He still needs to learn our tactics. When to run, when to hold. When he makes runs, he'll take defenders with him leaving space for another attacker to creep in unopposed. Adrian's distribtion is extremely poor. Allison can find a team mate under pressure. Adrian kicked it out of play on virtually every occasion. But nobody is really worried, whether you've won or lost. It's just banter rights. Making someone favourite from just one game before everyone is fully fit is just nonsense.

absolutely loved the cheeky question mark on cancelo's number 😂😂

Bro your Ball knowledge is so good

This analysis is beyond excellent.

Well-detailed analysis, keep it up

Fantastic 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Great analysis but would have wished you brought in how the goals were conceded

Excellent video.

What do you use to watch your match

Can you bring back the old visuals please Honestly its way clearer to understand

Great format with lots of details Pep will struggle with Haaland I feel like it will be the same story with Zlatan Ibrahimovic great player who don't fit in the system.

Excuse me, Could you tell me what is the presentation software? Thank you very much.

excellent analysis

Bro this tactical analysis giving me life

Awesome analysis.....

Jurgen klopp has adapted the new tactic that acquired from carlo ancelotti. This tactic was very similiar, if it was compared. When, real madrid was beating them in the final 2022. Ultimately, the things can make Jurgen klopp learn from his match. As well, this team was adjusted to Darwin nunez role. We could see many chances for liverpool in the after half time. When, he got in to team. They created many empty spaces. So that, moh salah can easily move through man city defender. Finally, he involved two goals. first, he converted penalty into goal from ruben diaz handball due to darwin nunez header. Second, he crossed the ball into robertson. Then, his header has great impact to nunez goal. That was fascinated game in the opening new season. Klopp and Guardiola was just begun with new player in this new season. I am not patiently see them in premier league. Even though, they give such a dazzle game in the community shield 2022.

I like the new visuals

Does anyone now how to watch full matches after they’re played? Like is there a website/ KZfaq channel etc. Thanks

That xG shows how well Adrian done. Big up!

What app do you use for this stuff

This game was a thiago masterclass

This was the best football video I have ever watched.

what application do you use?

yes FMS, we are also confused to why Cancelo is wearing 7! LOL Great Video Though!!

Thank you

2 WORLD CLASS MANAGERS having a TACTICAL WAR with eachother was absolutely brilliant to see.But KLOPP coming out on top out witting PEP And then we had the battle between HAALAND and NUNEZ with NUNEZ coming on as SUB changed the game when he come on with getting the penalty and scoring...

Klopp used Oxlade-Chamberlain a number of seasons back to beat City's press, I think he had to fight physical duels with Mendy and if he'd win those Liverpool was nigh on man-to-man in attack. Which is a bad situation to be in against Salah, Firmino and Mane. I'm imagining something similar will happen with Nunez. City has the capacity to lock down Liverpool at least for parts of a match. Then the long ball to Nunez should come into play who should be a physical match for any of their defenders.

Sad to say Liverpool didn't put their best foot forward. But neither did Manchester City. Great tactical analysis, and there was a particular reason why Guardiola didn't compromise in the centre mid region. He knows what Thiago could do! Salah wasn't his real self. He still needs some warming up it seems. And it will be worth watching how the two top teams play with a proper number 9 on their ranks.

skysport should hire this guy - really - spot on

Oh PS Selling Raheem Sterling might cost City the league. #nocap Grealish is slower than my grandma and as a result they are weaker.

Idk how but your quality of the video is getting higher but your sound quality is getting worse , still great vid and keep it up

Can you do an analysis on Bayern vs Leipzig supercup game?

At 9:00 I think it's often henderson and not trent between the lines otherwise nice analyse ❤

Great channel

We were the weaker squad on the day. Liverpool...[still smarting after the P.L. loss]...were far...far stronger. They constantly smothered the passage-of-play between De Bryune & Haaland [which would've been the idea]....Their counter and attacking style frustrated and basically ran rings round the team. It appears losing Mane hasn't affected Liverpool one iota....

Always thought that the winger and midfielder will be deeper with haaland and spray early passes or through ball.. but no, haaland is used as decoy and de bruyne is as aggressive like city was in false 9 mode.. Obviously They need to play together more to build connection
