They really needed to bench walker, play akanji rb and bring stones on. Also why the need to sub grealish off? We bottled the match
Been sayin
Or just Lewis back to RB
Let's have some patience. We've lost arguably our 2 best players. We've changed formation and tactics. Pep is having to experiment on the fly, and the players are therefore in the same boat. Let's give them some time to figure it out. Unfortunately our first major test was against a tough opponent, so we couldn't ease into it. Seeing alot of head loss. C'mon blues, we're not Arsenal. Let's have some maturity as we go through these growing pains. We owe them that after so many years of excellence. With all due respect, Nobbins, I think I'll trust Pep on what he "must" do. I trust he'll see that it didn;t quite work out, and he'll respond to that. I don't think we should act like we know better
This is it right here cous! Foden is also coming off injury, and as an important player we dont wanna rush his healing. We actually did want palmer and alvarez to stay, but they decided to seek glory somewhere else.
Pep selections has been poor
Pep selections has been poor
You always have great analysis but I still can't get over the fact that Pep said 'We played really really good'😭😭😭😭😭
Yeah that’s a bizarre thing to say. On another day, maybe we win 1-0. But it just wasn’t good enough in any area of the pitch tbh
I mean it's just typical Pep tho , sometimes he will trash manutd or Stoke and be like " they were good " he's just Trolling the media .
We need to stop this "only Haaland score gaols " mode .
It seems like the rest of team are just pass marchents who can't shoot or don't have any gaol ambitions at all , where is the hunger for gaols ? Except Haaland i Don't see anybody else have that ambition 🤨😡
Whenever we have more possession even if we lost. pep says we played good 😭🙏
Pep plays the media game as well as anyone - and how he plays it is to give them NOTHING to say unless it's going to help his team. He respects and throws accolades on every single team. He's admitted in the documentary - he's going to defend his players ALWAYS to the press...and tell them the truth in the locker room. Respect.
Great insight. You make these so easy to understand. Some football "content creators" think it's peak when they grab a microphone and say the most clickbait phrases. Thank you
The problem is clearly how akanji can’t play in midfield as he’s nowhere near good enough on the ball, it’s so obvious. Should’ve learnt from last year with how poorly we played as a team when akanji was in midfield, it’s not a coincidence🤷♂️🤦♂️
I'm glad someone else sees it
@@lifeinlife24 it’s so annoying how pep is still playing him there. I’d love to see our win percentage with akanji in midfield, I’d bet it’s like 33%
Yes agreed. This 2-2-6 is narrow and leaves spaces in full back areas which newcastle exploited, especially on that left side..
Seriously is Haaland the only player in this team who can score gaols for us 🤔 our entire attack depends on 1 PLAYER to get gaols which can easily be countered by marking him with 3 players + GK whenever the ball goes to him , if he's heavily marked every game the rest of the players need step and score or at least create scoring chance for someone that isn't Haaland.
We need to stop this " only Haaland scores gaols "mode .
It seems like the rest are just pass marchents who can't shoot or don't have any goal ambitions at all , where is the hunger for gaols ? Except Haaland i Don't see anybody else have it 🤨😡 .
Other Haaland if someone else score 10 PL goals this season i will go bold and don't eat any breakfast until season 25/26 start .
If you think about it a lot of our goalscorers are injured or too old now. Gundogan is not as physical as he was in 22-23, no kdb or rodri for their long shots, it's really only gvardiol and Foden who can actually provide that consistent goal threat currently other than Haaland
Foden is the only other available option, yet he’s benched.
Foden is the only player that has any chance of getting 10+ goals. Bernardo, Grealish, Doku, and Savinho will do well to get a combined 20 goals in the league.
Foden 27 g/a in the league last season .. idk what pep is thinking not starting him considering how vital he was to city winning the title last season , very bizarre.
Hey bro pep is dropping foden in the bench because he know what happened to pedri and rodri and foden played in the euro final so he know alerady rodri is injured and even look at rodris body and he got acl and now look at foden so you can clearly see that if anyone hit on his leg its over kdb is a injury prone rodri is already injured and if foden got injured we will absolutely trash so thats why pep is not starting foden yeah we need to win games but we need to save foden in the big games to soo thats why giving him rest definitely will help us in title charge one day
THAT was clear from the line up more defensive players wont give you wins. The Tinkering of the month by PEP 😒
Its quite surprising Pep tried out this tactic, since we were doing great with
Gvardiol Dias Akanji Lewis at the back and Kova as the DM, even before Rodri was reintroduced to the team. Some people on twitter even found it hard to drop someone for Rodri and Foden later
6:28 sounding like trump 😂😂
Glad you got the reference haha 😂
Pep has been quite poor these last few weeks with his tactics and team selections with no regard for future fixtures and resting players
I think Pep has got his inspiration of the formation from the comedy about CITY called 5X7 by a chap called Lewis published 6 years ago 👍
Love your analysis. Apart from the offside, Walker was solid, Grealish my MOTM. Love from Nigeria ♥️🇳🇬
Dunno what Barca did to our legend buh I think he'll get back to his best in no time
The Best XI possible right now is this:
A 3-4-3 diamond/3-2-4-1 hybrid System with Ederson in goal obviously, centerbacks pairing right Walker, left Gvardiol and the middle Dias. The double pivot should be Lewis and Stones, with more freedom to Lewis to progress sometimes. My Rodri substitute is John Stones. On the wings i would lineup on the right Foden and on the left Doku. The half space 8s should be Bernardo and KDB. Upfront is clear, the Robot. This Lineup offers the best Balance and compliments all strenghts.
Ederson - Walker, Dias, Gvardiol - Lewis, Stones - Foden, Bernardo, KDB, Doku - Haaland
Love Pep but can’t understand his stubbornness when it comes to Foden. If Foden would ever have a midfield stinker like Gundo had on Saturday Guardiola would have subbed him on halftime and banned him on the wing as a substitute for most of the remaining season. Phil has given everything to us. Patience, respect to the club, obedience and loyalty to his manager and beautiful football all these years. As a lifelong Man city supporter I would not blame him if he starts looking to go the Palmer and Alvarez route in searching elsewhere for playing the most important games in his best position. Sorry Gundo ( love you) but this is Fodens time to shine.
I’ve been waiting for this!❤
Hope you enjoyed it!
Yea, I did. Moving forward Foden should be an automatic starter regardless of who else starts…that game had foden written all over it for me tbh
Same here ❤
Sacrificing everything for nothing, worse trade deal in the history of trade deals........
Good argument!! But! Newcastle didn't score in open play, only with a sleepwalking Walker, pen.
Jack held everything together on attack, Gundo, made egotistical decisions, slowly!! Matti got lost in moments, akanji dealt with gorden, forcing him to dive for pen!! Yes,,,, it was poor but yet, we draw at Newcastle, remember we struggled last year!! No Bobby, or KDB 🤒 great show, young blood 👍
Yep, Pep got this one wrong. Pick a solid back four and get some attacking direct wingers on and let Phil feed them both and Erling to knock them in. It's not rocket science Pep, just go for it man 💪👊
Just leave it nobbins he is never going to listen to what other say , he just satisfying his ego for him his ego is bigger than team success, he now have faout with foden it seems, no city fan will ever accept foden leaving because of him, we already suffered lost cancelo and Palmer to his fucking ego, let's call Vincent kompany next season start new era send this catlan along with his two pet dogs Txiki and ferran back to Barcelona
All i wanna say is walker has to be benched and we need stones instead of him
Stones kova at cdm role
And lewis akanji dias gvardiol
Walker has been absolutely pathetic for us since the time he has became our captain
And gundogan aint 22/23 player he is very rusty as of now
But i expect nunes to play more he could have helped during the transitions pep should play him a bit more
But walker at bench and stones need to play
Peps is right we've played good,most ppl just didn't knew he was playing a new formation, was trying something fans,bt he's just said yes as he watch the draw and the test ,com on
Our attack has been pretty poor as well cuz its just erling scoring and no one else
No creativity as well
All goals we have scored this season r of erling only
Kova individual brilliance
Kdb individual brilliance
Stones individual brilliance
Gvardiol individual brilliance
We need players to score goals like mahrez used to do
The thing about Rodri is that I wouldn't call him a great defensive player: he's not. He's very slow and spends a lot of time ahead of the ball. I think his main value comes from his physicality, his build up play capability, and his contribution to the attack and in possession, which can be a form of defense. Kovacic is quicker and great at carrying the ball to the final third, but his contribution stops there. He's not a great passer, doesn't really distribute the ball well, is a reckless tackler, and adds little to nothing to the attack. When one adds all that up and the fact that he doesn't think like a DM, City end up having to compensate too much in other areas. City didn't necessarily need a like for like replacement for Rodri, but I do wish they had brought in a player who is maybe just okay on the ball, but would shore up the defense, which lacks athleticism, especially with Ake out.
Fantastic Analysis. I think the Man City progression has to change now without Rodri. More ball carrying, less lateral passing, less possession?
I think his selection of wingers is also telling. He sacrificed the pace of Doku and Savio for the control and defending of Grealish and Silva
I do notr want to see Bernardo Silva on the wing ever again. He has enough grit and grind to battle out in the midfield
Nobbins can you do a video about we we should do in the january transfer market(or not do much at all)
Thts y he shud let the defenders start kicking shots or chipping them in the box
It didn’t fail player fail to capitalized their chance
U earned a subscriber brother
What a great analysis
Rico never received good passes in attacking phase
This guy just throws darts at a dartboard and runs with it
My biggest problem with Foden is, he doesn’t create chances for haaland, he’s always trying to shoot
Just not true at all
Eddie Howe had his tactics spot on. You weren't fluid because of the dynamic roll Joelinton played transitioning from CB to Midfield.
Joelinton was so good
Love this video!! Great work mate
Good analysis. Just prepare yourself; like he does every season, Pep - experiments w/ lineups, combinations and tactics until January, then fine tunes the machine until April. Then wins 10-12 in a row for a run in to the title.
And what happens if key players get injured during the business end of the season. Pep has done a lot of questionable things in the past two seasons. Last season, it was playing Alvarez as a midfielder and exposing City's defense.
You guys don't need palmer lol
Failed 😂how did it fail if gundo hadn't been selfish city were gonna win 3-1
As I explain
question, what's your thoughts on the winger selection? grealish/silva makes sense for control but as you mentioned, we lacked the creativity - i'm fine with them not starting (we have a bit of an injury crisis rn and we probably don't want players running into arguably the most physical team in the PL), but imo they should have been subbed in earlier (alongside Foden, perhaps) to have more opportunities to dribble tired legs and create more chances. just my 2c though and i'm curious to hear what you have to say!
Agreed re the wingers, I discussed this in more detail in my post-mortem live show
Conservative midfield + conservative wingers is a recipe for no consistent chance creation. Savio HAD to start
Great analysis.
Thanks
I hope Pep figures things out before it's late. I have a feeling that should Arsenal go top, they won't lose any matches easily. We may never catch them up.
On the other hand, have you ever wondered, mate? We all knew that we needed someone who can play with Rodri or alongside Rodri, but we decided not to do anything about it. We all know that we are a Haaland injury away to be in shambles, but still the board ain't doing anything about it.
We know Walker ain't as good anymore but we did not get a Simacan or anybody.
Something is just not adding up with our club. Maybe it's the 115 , maybe it's the uncertainty with Pep's extension but we are definitely not us.
I am all about positivity but I think the 115 surely is as bad as the opponents say they are
Arsenal are much worse than previous seasons. They already dropped points to Brighton and should have dropped points to a relegation bound Leicester.
@@znhaitmaybe because of early injuries. Look at their fixtures too. They haven't lost despite that. When players come back especially Odegaard and form picks you wonder if they will be stopped
Bro thinks he is pep 😂😂😂😂😂
you don't have to be a cook to analyze what's make the food taste bad...come on
Rodri tearing his acl is huge hit to us. I think we should really get a new DM in the January transfer window
Kovacic and gundo are great but they aren’t as good in that no6 role.
Reminder we could have gotten joao neves or amaduo onana in the last window
Rico fits perfectly the no6 role. But he is still very young and is at risk for injuries
My opinion would be just trying to hold everything together until the January transfer window
Rico isn’t a 6 he’s more of an 8. Kovacic and gundogan are around the same level as onana/neves at cdm. Our problem is akanji being in midfield as he's
@@harrygonn934 rico was so good in the no6 role in the first couple of matches
Kovacic and gundo are good but their movement is so heavy. I would rather a midfielder who is faster
@@nmercy_1788 Lewis wasn’t a 6 in the first matches of this season, he was more of the right sided 8. Kovacic was the lone 6 with no one next to him and Kdb, silva and Lewis all ahead of him. Lewis was doing something similar to what pedro porro does for spurs under ange
Why not play Stones if this is what we were going to do?
My preferred team would indeed have Stones pushing up alongside the deeper midfielder (my preferred option would be Gundo)
That would allow both Foden and KDB to play more advanced
I was about to ask the same question, Stones is one of my favorite modern player, I'm not even joking.
We don't have player with enough physicality as CDM, Kovacic and Rico are both bad. They don't have physicality nor defensive coverage
That’s not the problem, the problem is that akanji can’t play in midfield. We learnt this last season as when akanji played in midfield we played worse as he’s not good on the ball
Pep needs to maintain the same formation we used in our first 3 games with Rico at RB
@@harrygonn934 Then that's a problem, we don't have anyone can play CDM well. Only hope is Stones back to 2 years ago
@@Dylan-q3d nah kovacic and gundogan are still good cdm’s, the problem is when they’ve got akanji next to them. If they had stones, Bernardo or Lewis next to them we’d play much better than we did against Newcastle
@@Andoh3 There was a problem on Rico return to his defending position while playing as midfielder in offense. It was bad in vs Brentford and vs westham 2nd half.
He's trying to adopt kompany tactics at bayern into he's team
Where do you think Kompany get these tactics😂
@@footygoatz7552 not pep seeing as he's never used them 😂
Pep isn't the all father of tactics chill your enchiladas and seeing as they didn't work means he doesn't know how to do them properly 😂
@@xyklose8486 Building with a back 2 isn't something that is only done by Kompany lmao,you think pep isn't smart enough to use that tactic
@@footygoatz7552 who said pep ain't smart enough i said he doesn't know how to use it implying he's never used it before
And no one said kompany came up with it
He's the most prolific with it right now learn to read
@@xyklose8486 it's pep of course he knows how to do it and they were playing Newcastle not some bum team
THE Over thinking as usual by PEP too much respect to New castle which is a mediocre team who depends on counter attacks mainly and Chios.
This is a very lazy criticism
Doku LW, Haaland CF, Savinho RW
Grealish, Foden, Bernardo midfield
LB Gvardiol, Dias Akanji CB, lewis RB
Keep Gundogan on the bench.
Thats the best starting lineup
City needs a young play maker indeed...Midfield needs to Reinforce
