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.

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

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.

1 shot on target We were so good defensively and one of few teams to pocket haaland

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!

The moment when Ten Hag bring Garnacho on he didn’t just change the game but also change the shape. Bruno became far more effective when he’s in his no.10 role,Rashford becomes more dangerous in the middle and Antony being on the right meant United became more dangerous. Fred’s game was incredibly crucial in how nullifying KDB is. Even if he wasn’t man marking De Bruyne his other areas were impressive.

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.

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 again🤣🤣

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!

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

Ten hag masterclass

Best Analyst in football. Thanks for that ❤

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 bastards😂

Just earned my subscription. Very concise

Damn Man United are actually improving without Ronaldo

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!" 🤣

Following football made simple from initial days. Watching him grow is just fascinating

Fantastic analysis. Really interesting. Well done 👏

Very great analysis as usual👍 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 ❤

In ten Hag we trust 🙏 the guy is a genius 👏 Erik said in June about rivals 'Era's come to a end' he was right. ✅ 😉

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 “football Experts” laughed at what they considered my naivety. You all need to stop over complicating what is essentially a simple game.

In this match, United was able to prove to everyone that it is not a hype train 💯💯💯

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

Fred was amazing today

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!

Damn bro, you're quick! 😅👍

Love this channel. I'm a new sub after this video. Looks like a bunch of people with good soccer brains the comments also. 🔥

brilliant work

Nice, all I hear is that one should exploit the space behind the wing back walker 👏

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.

Very nice explanation. Was Awesome performance by Man Utd.

Great analysis, a point of corrction not wall pass instead is a link up play

Awesome work. What software and screen are you using?

Hi and welcome back to football made simple 😅😅❤❤❤ Gave me chill 🤤🤤

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 😢

@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

Nice🙌🏿

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

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

City didn't even create any chances really, just some wayward half chances.

cutting kdb out of the game by putting fred on him was genius, took out both him and haaland with one simple tactic

WOW, THE GREATEST

Please what app did u use for the lineup formation

This man know his football yes 😁

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 ETH❤️❤️

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 weren’t 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 “wow”, he’s a fox in the box, 6 yard striker. Easy when you’re in a city team making chances with 70-80% of the ball a lot of the games. Simply shut down past couple of games.

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.

Please please make a tactical analysis of Napoli under Spaletti

70% possession and 1 shot on target 👀

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.

Ole heavily relied on fred mctominay as pivot with lindelof maguire as cb. He never experimented using different set of players means his tactics wasn’t 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.

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.

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

Bruno was a gem. But over depending on Haaland is main issue of City. Try to confuse defence with multiple strikers.

❤️🖤

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

A one for eerling harland a 9 for luke shaw
