The GENIUS Way Tottenham Came Back Against Man City
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 гру 2024
- Tottenham scored a late equaliser to draw 3-3 with Manchester City this weekend, with pundits still baffled by Ange Postecoglu's open attacking plan. But with Spurs being saved by a late refereeing howler, why do they seem incapable of taking their foot off the gas??

"Luck is where preparation meets opportunity" Angeball
👏👏👏
Good grief this was refreshing 😂
TV pundits have been genuinely embarrassing on this topic. There's suggesting a team isn't adapting when they clearly are and there's expecting Ange to completely abandon principles he's trying bed into the club 12-14 games into the season 🤷♂️
The 'naive' stuff is purely because he's Australian...if he was European, they would use words like 'foolhardy'...it's just a subtle diminishing of him, that he plays that way because he doesn't understand how 'proper' football is played...
It was incredible to see Sonny transitioning from a left winger to central striker. He’s an amazing player and a proper leader, captain. Who leads by example. I saw the game last night against City and Sonny never stopped running and kept pressing through city players.
It was a no-brainer having Sonny striker. He’s got the finishing of a world class striker, he’s a true forward. He had a decent game alongside Kulusevksi, Lo celso and other players. We weren’t amazing but most of our players pulled through in the important moments. And that Kulu header 🤩 I think he’s super underrated. He’s ran the most in the entire league! And he barely gets subbed off, insane stamina and perseverance
@heyheyhe0011. What transition? You're making it appear that Son never played striker. Which position do you think he started out as? Please check his stats in Bundesliga and the Korean national team.
it´s just Ange, everywhere on the pitch.
@@iu2 mate, he’s played most of his career on the wing
It is a shame you can't see the whole field when watching on TV. Sonny is ALWAYS running.
It’s a myth that Ange doesn’t adapt. When they had difficult playing out against the press against Man Utd. The full backs ceased their inverting and went in a wing back position which allowed to take control. Similarly situation against Arsenal Sarr dropped deep to the right full back position to allow the team to play out against the press. Then there is substitution including Højbjerg to add more defensive control in midfield. Ange makes lots of tactical adjustment. However he doesn’t compromise fundamental style of football which is similar to most top class coaches
Well said 💯
Bang on
💯
Literally! People forget Ange is a seasoned veteran, he's been managing for 25+ years!!
Exactly! Just because the changes aren’t grand and obvious doesn’t mean there aren’t any happening. The casual media pundits and fans criticize Ange for not adapting, but when in reality he is. These folks just don’t have the knowledge or experience to recognize that.
Thanks for this. So tired of lazy punditry and the recycled cliches. You nailed Lo Celso's significance even when others are complaining about dropping too deep, playing back passes, not contributing anything more than his goal. Ridiculous
The people still doubting a healthy Lo Celso have nothing to say but screeching diarrhea at this point.
thank you for recognizing Ange-ball does adapt!
Took 3 losses though...😂😂😂
Adam is the best UA-cam football analyser. He is so clear and detailed, he doesn't assume or allow his bias get into his analysis
Tifo enters the chat 😂
Got to love him but he just makes stuff up lol 😂
So glad you mentioned Gil's spin and pass to Kulusevski.
None of the other pundits I saw picked up on that or gave him credit for it.
I do think Bissouma dispossession and Spurs third goal are two sides of the same coin. Bissouma tried to dribble pass three players and were dispossess and conceded a goal. However for Tottenham last goal Oliver Skipp had three Manchester City players trying to press him, he dribble past one player and made a progressive pass that led to the goal. I don’t think you can condemn the former and celebrate the latter. If Ange encourage the team to play this way it is of the hope that the latter moment outweighs the former moment but you have to take the dispossession as a side effect of the style of play
I think that there is a difference in reasonable and unreasonable risk.
Bissouma has been exceptional in those moments generally this season so overall I think it works and the football is so entertaining.
And that philosophy works incredibly well when you have players like Maddison and Bentancur in midfield, both of whom are injured.
The great thing is that this risky system works almost to perfection with this squad when Romero and VDV are on the pitch. Hopefully both will be back soon.
Wish Spurs had bought another CB in the summer. Missing one of Romero and especially Van De Ven is bad, but both not playing really hampers the way they want to play. I think Spurs conceded over 60 goals in the Premier League last year (mainly playing 3 at the back as well) so that's a pretty good indication of what a team missing the partnership of Romero and VdV will probably be like when both are missing
They really have that shit on lock! I can’t wait for them to be back! Best Duo in the Prem. Most Cohesive.
Son! He is living legend
I think the ref played the advantage & immediately thought Grealish was offside - hence blowing & calling the ball back. Everyone I was with called it offside & we had a better angle but Jack timed his run really well. If he’s let him run on & do whatever he would have done whilst being offside, then it would have wasted time for Man City so he was damned either way. Thought he had a great game apart from that call.
Everyone is judging it based on the aerial camera view we’ve all seen on TV.
From Simon Hooper’s point of view on the field he did his best to do City a favour.
Tottenham players stop playing when they heard the whistle. Hard to say if they were "beat".
That's precisely what I thought in real time. He's brought it back because Grealish was offside. It was one of the best called games all season so far and it feels tough to really harp on what was actually, for once, an honest mistake.
@@t.robinson4774 I think you're right. From ground level he'd have seen Grealish surrounded by 3 players.
@@t.robinson4774🤡🤡
Adam, why are you not covering matches live on Sky? Your analysis is by far and away the most insightful around. Great video as usual.
Because he’s not a bias ex player 🤦🏻♂️. I’m tired of them pundits man they chat so much 💩
"inciteful" lol
sky doesn’t want insight they want to control the narrative
@@T.E.S.S.his commentary is starting riots!
Without doubt the best analysis and clear understanding of Angeball. Fantastic video, absolute elite content. Thanks so much
nearing the end, we also can see that son dropped deeper- similar to what kane did when he was still here
shows you the level and how different son and kane are to these players at tottenham. Quality and Experience. Absolutely class from Son
Well made video mate. I’d like to add that during that poor decision by the referee, if we had Van Der Van who is pivotal to Ange’s defensive system, they wouldn’t have been through on goal anyways. This is what makes Tottenham such an incredible team. When he is on the pitch all the high risk play can be quickly shut down by VDV’s recovery pace and Romeros ability to read the play quickly. I bet you during that Chelsea game if we had 9 men again and one of them was Van Der Ven, a few of those crosses into the box for goals wouldn’t have been able to happen.
Excellent analysis - exactly the point - so many pundits and experts are just too simplistic and do not understand the technical adjustments let alone that the overriding philosophy needs to be hammered home above all at this stage of the journey
This video is absolutely 100% spot on - you get it. The imperative to get the ball forward, to score goals is what Angeball is about, these are what is set in stone. To think that Ange doesn't change things, make use of the different qualities that different players bring to adapt to a specific situation, is naive.
Naive is being a bit generous. Simpleminded is more accurate.
The analysis on bissouma losing possession is spot on. Bissouma played with more bravery in the second half of the game and that was the difference.
You have summed up so many points I have been trying to make with all this frustrating criticism but one thing not really mentioned by anyone on top of all of this analysis is the fact he's not trying to win the league this season - he's building a team to win. The whole approach is based on getting better at what they do - they can't do that if they change every time they have an injury, or if they go a man down etc and they certainly won't develop their game as fast if they keep doing that. He's developing them now, and while that is happening and he is assessing who can handle it and who can't, they'll keep bringing in more players that can - which they clearly need. He can't wait 4 transfer windows before *starting* the development just because they don't have the players.
This is something I don't hear anyone talking about. They think because Spurs actually started way better than anyone expected that this is already the finished article - it's not even close. Too many small minded pundits around that never had the vision to know how to manager even a half decent football team let alone one that can actually strive to be the best. They want Spurs to just be a mediocre team, and if Neville or Keane were managing them they'd have a ceiling as mediocre at best, likely a complete failure.
Great you mention the 9 men and city as weird for anyone to complain about. City, away, with Royal and Davies at CB, and the likes of Neville want them to go there and wait to lose. If they did that and lost 3-0, Neville would have said it was a brave effort. Well, they got a draw, excited the fans, the neutrals. People have to realise you don't get the best parts of spurs without the worst parts - you can't keep your cake and eat it - but the worst parts will all improve (players back fit, new players in, squad cohesion and understanding of what is being asked of them improving), which will also improve the best parts of them.
Thank you for pointing out that Bissouma lost the ball trying to do exactly what he's been instructed to do and what other players did over and over.
And Ange is repeatedly on record as saying that he will back the players if they make an error whilst following his instructions.
Thank you for getting, and explaining, AngeBall - I only hope Carra, Neville, Merson, Keane etc watch this channel, learn a thing or two and start providing a level of punditry that matches their salaries.
COYS!!!
Great video, Adam is bang on top of his game. Let's not forget that Spurs went to the best team in Europe and didn't play any recognised centre-backs, and got a point. If Romero and Van de Ven were fit, Spurs win this game.
this tottenham is different gravy, they are playing without 5 of their starters and got a result against city at home. Even in the games they lost they didnt look half bad. A few more transfer windows and they might get really scary
Where Pep Guardiola coaches his players to ALWAYS take the safest option, which inevitably means recycling the ball 300 times while waiting for the perfect opportunity, Angeball is the complete opposite. It encourages players to ALWAYS take risks, to seek openings and weaknesses and exploit them. Guardiola's need for total control is risk-averse soulless collectivism, and that's how he turned the previously exciting Jack Grealish into a broken facsimile of his former self, someone who only managed to break his goal-scoring drought of about 35 games with a tap-in he had zero creative input in. And if Pep's style is soulless collectivism, then Angeball must be the diametric opposite - a free-market, capitalistic approach to creative expression, with a plan. It's hair-raising at times, but, my God, what a rush!
Love this analogy 👏
Bravo!
The level of ignorance is staggering. Pep won 3 straight EPL titles. His method is incredible and few can only dream of emulating it. Your "my God, what a rush!" style of play will NEVER win an EPL title. It takes discipline and consistency to win a championship. Ainge ball is pure hype. The whole comeback wouldn't even be discussion if Haaland made his open goals in the first half.
@@mariahlin5556that's true but while results matter a good style of play will always be more exciting. Man city won the treble but they didn't have a single game of the season contender. Football like all sports is about entertainment. If there is no excitement to watching football people will stop turning up. It is even reflected in city's fanbase when they are in the stadium.They always look dejected when playing smaller teams. Domination aside they are boring to watch
@@mariahlin5556 But Haaland missed, didn't he? And that's that. Ange Postecoglou won the Manager of the Month Award for August, September AND October. He is the first manager EVER to win the award in his first 2 months in charge of a club in the EPL - AND his first three! Maddison was the Player of the month in August. Son was in September! They're playing VERY ENTERTAINING FOOTBALL! But, sure, if you're the type who thinks winning is everything and, like Stalin, will throw endless cannon fodder to win at any cost then declare himself the best general, then you understand how Pep Guardiola approaches football. ALL his titles were won with unlimited resources. There's also a very good argument that his legacy - tiki taka - is one of the worst (and most boring) things to happen to football, but maybe that's an argument for another day. I'll take Angeball over it any day of the week.
Ange Ball: Win or Die Trying. Insane pedal to the metal football that is fun to watch.
Fortune favors the bold, Thucydides. COYS!
Great video man. Top analysis. Around the 35 minute mark, I said to my mate “He has to bring Hojbjerg on at HT. Take Gill off”. Not insight or amazing but pretty obvious common sense imo. Hojbjerg brought that strength & power that City were using to get on top into the Spurs side. And he brought that absolute stability & protection to the defensive side of Spurs’ game. Without that stability I think City would’ve carried on over powering Spurs & gone onto to win the game but with it Spurs over powered City & were the better side in that 2nd half. Not too bad with 10 players missing, if I don’t say so myself. Cheers man, keep up the great work.
I thought the same at the HT! Will say as an aside, despite being out muscled by a bigger and stronger Walker, I was impressed with Gil's efforts. He's starting to show a bit of his quality now when he gets his chances. Be good to see him settle in proper with the squad, as I think he's a good rotation option!
@@see_horse Definitely. I wasn’t having a go at Gill, just that City away probably isn’t the game for him. Different tools for different jobs is all. He’s got massive talent, that’s obvious & he’s gonna be needed this winter. His part in Sons opening goal was both huge & brilliant. 🤙
This is brilliant 💪🏽 Gary Neville had a shocker last night.
Super video really enlightening, I was shouting at Bissuma to boot it out. I am an old git! I have been supporting Spurs since 1961 and I have never been so excited about the football we are playing. Ok we lost to Chelsea, threw it away against Wolves and didn’t put our chances away against Villa but what a team, what performances! Keep it up boys. COYS!
I follow Spurs for the exciting football but your analysis takes it to a new level and the appreciation for what I am seeing is now 100 fold improved.
Thank you for covering Tottenham and explaining Ange Ball 😊
Just because grealish has a chance doesn’t mean he scores. Vicario has been on of the best keepers in the league and has shown he can defend from the top of the box. It is entirely possible that grealish doesn’t score instead city should be mad at the sitters that halland missed
At last. Someone who understands.
first channel ive seen do proper analysis of the different tactics thank you
Really really good work on this. Finally a balanced view of what is really happening.
That was an absolutely brilliant, entertaining and hilarious analytical perspective of what Ange Postecoglou is trying to develop at Tottenham! As far as UA-cam presenters, some people have it and most don’t but you have that X factor presentation in spades. Thanks for the facts and the laughs😊
Thanks so much for this, I learned a lot about Angeball and tactics!
Thank you for such a fun but insightful analysis of how Tottenham were so effective in this amazing game. COYS
First time watching one of these videos. I never look too much into tactics, but I watched this video all the way through!
Been an Ange fan since his days coaching in Australia.. People tend to think that he is not much of a tactician, just this ANGEBALL, nothing could be further from the truth. Things not going right, subtle tweaks here and there during a game. He's a world manager and some huge club will come for him in a couple of years.
He is at "some huge club now Terry
@@alangranville-yb6np A big club, but who unfortunately doesn't win anything. Hopefully he'll change that. Have faith he can do it, if given a bigger budget.
It's such a good professional analysis video. It's amazing how they analyze every single player's movements and tactics. It's such a great analysis. I'm learning a lot!
Spot on about Bissouma and Angeball, every now and again we are going to concede a soft goal, however, if he'd pulled that off, he's busting into space with Sonny, Johnson and Kulu ahead of him and he knows his team will be going forward with him and they can maybe create a scoring opportunity while City are still trying to catch up. It's what Angeball is all about, it's exciting, entertaining, fun to watch again after the timid, turgid fare served up under Jose, Antonio and Nuno. The rollercoaster ride is going to be exhilarating, lets see where it takes us, we need two to four transfer windows to get up to full speed.
Its a bloody outrage that pundits like Gary Neville and Michael Owen get to analye the game with full running clips and legends like yourself, JLA and Football Meta are forced to use still images.
Bradley Johnson is my favorite Spurs player.
Not clean through. Certainly a good opportunity but hardly 1on1 with the keeper. Instead of city whining about 1 ref decision, they should have taken their chances. Simple as that.
If it was Haaland on the end of it then likely a 1v1, but Grealish is a plodder and I’m almost certain Davies would have caught him
I did enjoy this as it was well explained and easy to follow. I remember the days when every team played two full backs, three halfbacks and five forwards so there have been many formation changes since then. Postecoglou plays fluid football and all players are expected to be attack orientated, more like the Dutch Total football. It has its risks but also gives rewards too and Spurs fans like me love the football we are seeing after some pretty dire seasons. Can’t wait for the next Spurs game.
Fact
based
Such a breath of fresh air, this tactically insightful analysis! Kudos weird suited guy
I never thought the answer to 'What is Ange ball?' Is gonna be this philosophical 😂
Just needed a genius way to beat the hammers 😅
Spot on, we don't hear this said enough. Ange ball is not about formations or tactics it's about bravery and mentality. Spurs have literally gone from one end of the footballing philosophy spectrum to the other in a matter of months.
In the way villa were lucky to still be in the game last weekend. We were lucky this weekend. Thats how football works if you dont take your chances
That was a masterful break down of this highly entertaining match. COYS!!
Excellent analysis, sir.
People forgot Ange has not even been at Tottenham for long. I think next season or two if they still have him there they can seriously challenge for titles.
People play football for fun, not always seen at Pro level. Ange still enjoys that fun & the players likewise. Your analysis is enlightening regarding Ange's visionary revolution. As regards Yves seeming lapse, that could have finished most positively because he is that sort of player, free football, free thinking, a bloke in the Tottenham tradition. Play without fear. Good fortune can smile upon you & turn against you but this style of play is giving people who pay a hell of a lot for entertainment. Well, bugger me --Entertainment.
Don't forget. We only know there's going to be a show, and that Tottenham Hotspur will be there. Good on yer Spurs.
Fortune favors the bold, Thucydides. COYS!
love the content simple yet spot on! btw can u guys lower the studio light it feels a little too bright😅
10:21 like I've said before. Ange is a brilliant, if not an elite coach. He isn't a tactician, he just knows what's needed and when. A tactician would have setup a tactic to neutralise city. Ange didn't care, he just had a game plan and motivated their players enough to see it with a few tweaks. No fancy variations etc. I've always said, Spurs hit the lottery getting him
Thank you. Adam gets it.
The single best explanation of what Angeball is!!
Great video! You did a great job analyzing without being boring lol
Proper genius description. Thanks so much
the lo celso sub was probably the most tactical sub of the month.
Such a good analysis and great point about ‘angeball’. It’s not a tactic and Ange does adapt!
Romero is back
Sarr, madd, van de van
A good striker in January
Buckle up your seats
convinced me to follow, very good analysis
Did anyone else notice what the lino did? His body language had me convinced his flag was about to go up. I think given the refs 1 hand gesture and linos body language, he blew and signalled the free kick earlier than we 1st with the lino hearing it through the headset. or the ref saw the linos body language and blew too early.
Another theory is Grealish had 3 very tight Tottenham players between him and the ref. The ref could've simply not seen him.
Re your last paragraph: I don't disagree but think the ref TRIED to play advantage but decided 1 C player vs 3 S defenders+gk was no advantage and gave the original offence instead. I believe he was correct.
Grealish would never have scored. Right call.
Add to fact that City just can't beat Spurs, then it was always going to be great game.
Genious video! Big warm humble thanks!
One of the best tactical review videos I have ever seen.
If the referee had intended to "play advantage" he would have signalled it using 2 arms as they do..
but he signalled foul to which the ball is meant to be stopped.. at no point did he give a play on instruction
That was amazing analysis. Please turn on Super Thanks. I just subscribed and want to send a thanks. Your analysis literally saves me so much time!
I just started watching EPL this season, and I’ve been learning mostly through people’s reactions on social media and then YT videos when they come out. It’s honestly a huge time sink. I’d rather support someone who does the actual work of analysis (and demoing formations and putting together screenshots and scripting it all and so on). Love the work!
When (and it's only a matter of time, given the club's ability to make money) Tottenham bring in more and better players, especially defensively, Angeball gets more and more frightening.
If Manchester City can't outpossess Spurs and limit their ability to score goals at home, even when Spurs are missing 10 players, imagine Spurs in a couple of transfer windows.
And which players wouldn't want to come and play this kind of football?
This is what I love about this current Tottenham team, and last season's Arsenal team. They might not win the match, might have lost stupidly, might not win anything against City, but I will ALWAYS watch a Tottenham or (Last Season) Arsenal game over a City game. I watch football because I want the magic, the guts, the brazen confidence, and that's what Tottenham has this season. I don't expect them to win, because Pep's City just has the formula of how to beat the Premier League down to a science. I'd even say this season's Arsenal is emulating City in that formulaic, must find a sure fire way to beat every team as easily and securely as possible, philosophy of play. It's just kinda boring. Sure, your trophy cabinet is filled to the brim, but if you're boring to watch, who cares ?
If I'm going to watch Tottenham lose or draw against a, on paper, superior opponent like City, or in overwhelming odds like in the 9v11 against Chelsea, I'd rather watch them go down swinging.
Nice to see the lazy punditry called out for what it is.
Excelent take as always
Love the analysis!!
Surely any broadcasters with any sense should snap up Adam as their on screen pundit no?
Spot on…cheers from Oz! 🇦🇺
Outstanding content!
Love this analysis
Sonny is magic 😭❤️
Finally someone else gets it 🙌
I love that Spurs are playing to win games. After years of playing scared this is hugely refreshing...just sad we couldn't have this with Kane in the line up. Could you imagine?
Great video, thank you for the analysis!
Brilliant, your videos are so illuminating.
uplifting heartfelt and... accurate.
Good analysis.
Brilliant !! Thank you
great video. does my head in when people say kulu-chefski instead of kulusevski !
Nice! Very enlightening - well done!
Had Haaland converted those big chances, then everyone would’ve blamed why Tot is playing such risky way and exposing themselves lol
You get it. Thank you.
We should have been 4 up in 15 mins against Aston Villa that's football we deserved a point played with four half backs, 4 wingers because of injuries.
The suit says it all...classy AF
This football content is excellent. I think this is a step up from the already decent tifo football.
loceso is a quality playe in controling the ball than maddison
Not at all. Maddison is on another level with his feet
we were lucky for the first half, but we adapted thereafter. i won't accept anyone saying it was just down to pure luck.
Fortune favors the bold, Thucydides. COYS!
Maddison is on record early in the season saying that Ange has essentially given them permission to be able to loose the ball if they're trying to play out like that so Bis won't even be in trouble for it.
Great analysis and well presented. Cheers
Normally, I watch your assessments while nodding my head in agreement but this game seems to have given me a completely alternate view. As the ref blew his whistle to conclude the 1st 45 minutes I remember thinking to myself that Spurs were very lucky not to go into the dressing room down 1-5 or even 1-6. On another day City would be far more clinical & the second half would have been going through the motions.
Any half time adjustments Ange would have made would have been too late. Spurs struggled playing out from defense and should have been punished on many occassions.
The tactics were not working and sometimes as in this case, its far better being lucky than good.
Fortune favors the bold, Thucydides. COYS!
This guy speaks the truth even when it's so hard for every one hear . I think Ange is the future of football. Only time will tell how good this Tottenham team will become with a little recruitment
