James, in the first half Lo-Celso was playing in the Sarr position, not Maddisons. Kulusevski was the 10. So you can't really criticise him for picking the ball up in deep areas when that's his role in that position. In the second half he was much higher up the field.
Facts it was tactical from ange. 442 magazine did a much better analysis explaining how spurs adapted to press and dropped le celso into double pivot and then made the fbs not invert
@@clubgelpoor analysis .. 442 does better analysis.. alot of talk about nothing
how did you manage to get this analysis out quicker than some broadcasters getting out a highlights package? Well done Jim!
He’s the goat
Needed to after his 8-0 to city prediction 🤣🤣
learned I’m actually in love with BIG ANGE
"I'M LOVIN BIG ANGE INSTEAD"... 😂
You're underselling Lo Celso because he wasn't playing in the madders role he was playing in the Sarr role. He had 100% pass accuracy and didn't lose the ball once. Lo Celso was the stabilizer because Bissouma was garbage and the one supposed to be in the area you point out is Kulu not Lo Celso.
I agree, Maddison drops deep like Lo Celso did to help build up from the back, that's part of our game and not an error.
I couldn't agree any more. Biss had a mare of a game. Lo Celso, was the stabilizer in the Sarr role. With Cuti in the backline I think he'll solidify our defence. VDV is our biggest loss. VDV & Romero were on fire & in the first 8 or 9 games they were the best defensive pair in the league. Don't forget we had 11 out of the squad of 25, out with injury or suspension.
Pass accuracy is irrelevant if barely any of the passes are forwards
@@jamesmcmahon4874 Not playing deep it isn't. It's flattering but definitely not irrelevant, especially so when you're drawing against City missing your best creator and defender.
I disagree with your point on lo celso he was replacing Sarr not Modison he was good in this match
Hasnt been said Jim, Kulusevski’s performance was probably the best on the pitch across both halfs. Man was killing it in the number 10 role in the first half then came in on the right in the second and scored the equalizer. Soon the titles may be “How Postecoglou unlocked Kulusevski”. Hes covered more ground than any other player in the prem, his work rate is ridiculous, and its all going under the radar.
I disagree. I was critical of Kulu at the start of the season. He always put in a shift - but play always slowed down with him and he took the easy ball inside way too often. However, he's become a beast in the last few games. He's far more likely to drive into gaps and cause chaos - because the guy is an absolute unit. And as a result his confidence is growing enormously. He's a vastly improved player now.
Tottenham can't have been that poor if they got the draw at the Etihad, give them some credit please 🤣
weren't poor but they hung on at times. we look at xg and it was 3.3 to 0.5 which shoes that man city had a lot of chances but yes any team who gets a point against city at the Etihad can't be poor
@@trulyethan you got to expect that away to city though, as a Liverpool fan I was delighted with an away point at the Etihad, I'm also delighted at spurs' point at the Etihad... Whoever goes there are underdogs
I’d love to say we found our way back into the game but Doku’s substitution was so pivotal, gave us chance to breathe and allowed Porro and Royal to put us on the front foot
Tottenham B team gets a draw at the Etihad and you're banging on about how they could have done better - hahah
Agreed. This video should have been about why Haaland was terrible at this game and seemingly overrated with his low xG difference.
That Mic is in Perfect Focus! 😅
James, did you ever stop to think that that Spurs 3 man centre midfield has NEVER played together before? Talking about weaknesses in this Spurs side is pretty hilarious as this is basically our B team - CM trio never played together and a CB pairing which is probably our 19th choice CBs.
Yet we still caused them problems and were, arguably, the better team in the second half, which hasn't really been mentioned here.
Yes, agree with you
it was a great performance given the injury situation
Our ball movement was extremely good in the 2nd half, no fear, quick passing, it was brilliant to see. Pitty Bissouma had a shocker again.
Great analysis, love to listen to these when I’m out and about!
Lo celso was playing double pivot with bissouma in the first half and moved forward in the second half with the introduction of hojbjerg. Great decision by Ange.
I was shocked last week with the garnacho goal but that advantage by the ref was even more shocking. Make up your mind, you’re paid to do this!!!
I hear what you're saying about City's narrow press and Spurs not having the quality to play those long balls, but there were a good few occasions where we did manage to beat the press and play those passes. Son's goal for example and that pass to Johnson when he took it round Gvardiol. Think the players definitely deserve more credit given the opponent and our current squad.
Agreed. Son's goal was amazing. He blew past City's fastest player, but these English pundits and UA-camrs don't give him enough credit. It's actually quite comical. Son leads the league in xG difference, yet they're still talking about Kane! 😂
You'd think Spurs didnt score 3 goals watching the analysis.
Hard to say about the whistle. When he blew it, tottenham seemed to stop playing, allowing man c to have that opportunity. Had the whidtlr not been blown the defense wouldn't be caught out
Yes. Ref blew the whistle twice, with the first one being really quick when he raised his arm to show the advantage. Ref made a mistake but a whistle is a whistle. Man City fans can't seem to understand this.
Love Jim's content forever and always. But this felt a big slight on a Tottenham performance where they gave all they could with the circumstances and ended up giving a really good account of themselves. You would of thought we got beaten 6-0. Only Forwards, keep up the good work!
Also Lo Celso played superbly for me. Wasn't replacing Maddison but Pap Sarr.
Absolutely mate, from this video anyone would guess we lost with a hefty difference, practically zero time devoted to speaking on the good stuff we did, which is especially shocking as we were arguably the better side in the 2nd half.
I don’t think so. Mancity could have been defeated without Son’s OG.
Besides, If one of two regular CBs had played instead of Davis or Royal, Mancity would have earned zero point.
9:20 "Grealish...whistle."
Yeah. Ref blew the whistle twice. That's why he had to stop the play because Tottenham stopped defending, which allowed Grealish to get behind two Spurs defenders. When the ref blew the whistle the first time, two Spurs defenders were ahrqd of Grealish. Let's not overthink this. Ref made a mistake and had to stop the play. Man City fans are delusional into thinking Grealish would have scored. He's not a good player.
Grealish was onside halaand was fouled he got up and passed the ball to grealish no offside no flag Simon gave city advantage..now jack is one vs one vs keeper cause he left the defenders behind...ref takes it back to the foul.....truth to be told
You're the delusional 🤡here
Simon always favors spurs not only in this game but also in that Liverpool game
@@loop808No, wise guy. Ref blew the whistle twice. Do you think he stopped the play because he just felt like it?
We enjoy your content Lawrence! Thanks for the great work.
I like how the mic is in focus above all.
Great video!
your camera was like "the mic is the MC today"
Liv did a much better job of "managing" doku. They weren't stopping the service to him much but they did manage to shepherd him into non-threatening areas.
Brennan Johnson beating KW on the outside for the third goal is an ignored highlight by most pundits....i think it is a watershed moment in both players' careers....
Great content!! Appreciate the game analysis and breakdown. What software are you using ? Are you using XPPen pad?
Hey Jim, an old dry slug here.
Don't forget we had 11 or 12 out of the squad of 25, out with injury or suspension. That's almost half of our squad. VDV is our biggest loss. VDV & Romero were on fire & in the first 8 or 9 games they were the best defensive pair in the league. They have the stats to prove it. With Ange it's almost a flash back to the Brisbane Roar days. Roar played a slightly less evolved system than what Spur's are play now. Roar out scored just about everyone in the A League. Ange has now managed 3 of my teams I follow &/or support; Brisbane Roar (A League), Yokohama FM (J League) & now the mighty Spurs (EPL), & how can I forget he also managed our beloved Socceroos'.
What am I listening to here? Doku's name was mentioned about 100 times. For Son, about 4. And then James briefly mentioned how Son beat Doku. Strange. Son scores an amazing goal by himself, blows past the fastest City player, and all we gwt is a 2-second mention of Son. Meanwhile, all we hear about is Doku. What did we actually learn? Isnt that the point of this video? I can yell you what I learned: At times, Son is surrounded by mediocre teammates but somehow keeps the Spurs in every game. This was a clear example.
Little feedback, if the slides can move the other way it feels more like we are going forwards. The way it does it right now makes it seem like we are going back in time even though we are going forwards in time. Dont know if it is possible for you to do :) Good video! Though it could also have been a little snappier, show it dont tell it. Hope this finds you in good spirits, as the video was extremely interesting and good :)
Bissouma’s losing the ball that led to 3-2 is also based on Ange’s philosophy.
He could pass to someone nearby but chose to penetrate through a circle formed by three Mancity players. If that was successful, Tottenham could have scored a goal, making 2-3.
There is no reward if you don’t take a risk, which is one of Ange’s philosophy.
That’s why Bissouma is to be praised, not criticized.
When the game is too loose ie allow quick end to end transition, it becomes unpredictable for City. Ironically this are the kind of game that suits foden, docu, Alvarez and haaland the most but detrimental to rodri and benardo.
Good points on the narrow press vs Tottenham, though few teams will be able to execute it at Citeh's level. Villa did well yet (as for Citeh today) the game should have been put to bed by Spurs in the first half with all the chances they created. A good result for Spurs given the outs, being only a few months into their rebuild and the opposition - I know I was expecting a cricket score.
The attacking down once side and leaving space on the other is what Liverpool have been doing for a while. Diaz always open wide left with the creativity down the right
Lo celso played deep to help biss because he was getting pressured Kulu was the 10, how could he not read the game 🤦🏾♂️
Alvarez is amazing
Doku is playing a similar role Douglas Costa had for Pep at Bayern.
Should look at first half and second half as brian comes off holjberg replaces then like lo celso goes in the attacking role ig James Maddison role and so therefore no more passing back your higher up the field that’s hojbergs job n it’s paid off
City lack chemistry with Doku. There are a lot of times, where people just stand around and watch Doku have the ball. It's so frustrating. Even more, Doku doesn't do a lot runs in behind as well.
despite struggling to get forward enough lo celso was 40/40 on his passes. they're definitely missing some extra range.
Anyone who watched the game knows that Porro had the beating of Doku multiple times. Doku beat him once. The time he cut in and shot which ended up hitting up the crossbar was in transition and he had beat Davies in an incredible mismatch. Reasonable to say porro won that battle
Doku is very good but one completed dribble. It was against Ben Davies, Porro made him disappear.
Bissouma did better than you’re making out on the most part, had some really good press breaking moments
He was really poor yesterday, was immense in the first 7 games of the season, and hasn’t been the same since his red at Luton, need him to fix up
For City, when you don't have healthy KDB on the field, you have to have Doku. He is everything that City had been missing since KDB's absence.
I'd love to see a reaction/opinion on the actual 2024 euro draw😁
If you allow 3 goals in a home game - then obviously the narrow press was not the right move here. The first goal is testament to that, Son pretty much ended up being 1:1 with Doku and you don’t want Son 1:1 against any of your players. Because of the narrow press there was no one wide enough to catch up with Son’s run and add some pressure / challenge him in his run
If you watch the goals none of them happened because spurs beat the high press. The first goal was a counter off a corner city won the ball high up many times just never put away their chances.
xG: Man city 2.9 Spurs 0.4. Just because spurs finished well doesn't mean city's press didnt prevent them from creating chances.
How do so many people like a wrong comment lol. The first goal came from a counter attack. Literally nothing to do with the press
Confidently incorrect much 💀💀
I don't know why City are still trying so hard. They will get striped of all their bought titles and get dismantled or moved down to league 57 anyway.
The gap in skill n mental technicality is big between players who were there we have no risk takers in passing the ball in to the ball
Spoke for the first half of the video on Jeremy Doku but no mention of how Porro pocketed him all match
Bissouma all season over keeping ball in those situations, not the first time he did that, we just had people to save us before... Royal also doing same thing very often.
Really good analysis, but couldnt help my self keep noticing Son's marker being labelled his first name :).
Extremely harsh on lo celso kept possession very well under pressure only him and porro looked capable enough of knocking it round consistently back there
comparing him to maddison is odd especially when his role is much deeper, kulusevski is the appropriate comparison for the first half
what we learned is that City players are visibly more rattled and actually look vulnerable as a whole.
Tottenham xG was super low and they still walked out with 3 goals, freak anomaly
Interesting take but a few glaring omissions. City hit the post/crossbar at least twice. An inch or two different and those are two goals and that completely changes the game state. Though that's a lot of should/would/could and comes down to luck, to a degree.
The other is that this is Man City version C or D. No Stones and no KDB. City with both of those available and their other midfield options available is a completely different prospect and I'd be massively surprised if the one sidedness of the Doku team doesn't just disappear. kDB can put the ball pretty much wherever he wants to and Stones in alongside Rodri solidifies City
Please do an analysis of Luis Diaz this season. His cons and his pros.
Pep's is experimenting heavy and we'll get good after jan
Great analysis but I think it was a bit too negative on Spurs (especially Lo Celso). The second half was quite even and Spurs getting a point wasn't as "outrageous" as it was outlined in large parts of the video
Nicked a point off the Jeremy Doku Team. COYS.
Spurs literally played with fire and got very very lucky. Really.
If Doku didn't hit the bar and scored.
If Haaland didn't waste 2 open goals.
It would have been 4 or 5 goals against 1 at half time. A dramatically different result. Spurs were dismantled in the first half.
Spurs did the same to Villa the previous week and literally zero people care outside of Spurs fans, and we just got the piss ripped out of us for losing. You don't get anything for nearly scoring.
focus on the mic is killing me
Should've kept gundo instead of silva
I don't know. I feel like pep is losing his edge a bit, the ruthless persuit of being the best. Maybe just a consequence of his success producing a bit of complacency
Davies and Emerson can look back now on a game where they frustrated Haaland. I wonder what will happen to Dier in January?
Usually agree with everything you say but I think you’ve rushed this video and undersold spurs/lo celso especially in the second half when they were the better team with 54% possession. Kulusevski was playing the 10 and lo celso was playing 8 and I thought you of all people would understand that, feels a bit lazy from you this one.
What you said City do with Doku, is exactly what Arsenal do with Martinelli 😮
If doku is a cheat code, I'd love to know what Saka and Martinelli are.
welcome to episode 73 of james fanboying jeremy doku
Ange ball in full flow does not have any weakness. If Teams flood the middle there is the two wide players. Also one midfielder will go wide. Reason why Bissouma played poor was due to not playing with Lo celso and vis versa.
That’s just not true. I’m fully Angeball but there is no one strategy that is without any weakness and risk
@@papertrex3673 True Pep Guardiola is probably the best manager in the world yet everyone of his tactical systems has a weakness of course just because it has a weakness does not mean its easy to exploit
coys
City is shipping too many goals at the moment. They‘ve now conceded 10 goals in the last 4 games. Although they‘ve conceded much less expected goals during these 4 games there should be the question why they are conceding goals from positions that are unlikely to lead to a goal.
You obviously haven’t heard any of Porro interviews he ain’t scared🤣
Doku completed one dribble?
See why you should actually watch the games instead of looking at stats?
@@user-zc2sz1os3jthe same should be said for people who sing his praises about being "the best winger in Europe" bc his stats. Too many tactics channels get dead set on the stats, that they don't even care about what the actual game is like
THANKS FOR WATCHING x. What sub-plots did you spot?
Biggest subplot I saw is that Haaland is far prettier with his hair down
I mean, I like the mic, but try get the camera focus on your mug instead, yeah?
Kulusevski down the middle is a monster, his work rate his best utilised in the midfield imo. On the wing he is slightly too predictable cutting inside and being very left footed, but in the centre he has the potential to be an absolute beast
Sub-Plot: You were unaware of what position Lo Celso was playing all game, apparently.
Calm take, is Gvardiol overrated? Like he's a quality player but from his form lately he's defo the weak link in the backline
What happened to the 8:0 prediction on Soccernet? How quickly guys like you forget your ridiculous predictions lol
As an Arsenal fan this is ridiculously harsh on Tottenham, had Arsenal or Liverpool gone 3 games without a win and bottled multiple leads you would be heavily criticising them yet this is almost completely pro city 🤣
🔥
That first 30 seconds with the Alan Partridge “Barclays” 😂🤌🏼
That Tottenham,as many as any Team(s) above them in the points table ,has a possibility as well to win the Title,👈
Our weakspot is that we don't have cb . We had to use rb and a lb are our cb . James m is a big miss aswell .
It's just Mahrez on the other wing. Shouldn't be anything they're not used to.
I don't know why City are still trying so hard. They will get striped of all their bought titles and get dismantled or moved down to league 57 anyway.
why do you think City's defence is so poor atm?
No mate, what your doing is trying to big city up and not give us credit for going toe to toe with city.. With a skeleton team
No centre-backs? No worries.
We learned that Spurs will be City’s biggest rival in 18months time
Doku cheat code? Porro doesn't let him do anything lol. He dribbled past 1 time... And Lo Celso wasn't playin Maddison's role (CAM) but CDM so idk what u talkin about and compare them 😹😹
REF MOTM
Hmmm think this is wrong kulu and lo celso were great
James can you please (please please) do a podcast with the wonderful young lady from Ecila Football, your both the best of the non partisan, unbiased podcasters. Would be fascinating to see (hear) if you could combine opinions
Once again, Big J making all other football “analysis” UA-cam channels look amateurish. No hyperbole, reactionary nonsense. Just good analysis with excellent production value. Really the only fan/pundit channel you need.

There are less than I thought 😯
The meat riding is crazy
Practically zero credit given by you to Spurs in this videos says a lot about your inherent bias here. Spurs went to the Etihad with a depleted squad missing a lot of starters and were noticeably the better team in the 2nd half, yet you've focused your entire analysis on City.
Believe me, dark forces and fate are at work here ..... there is a reason why NO team in 140-150 years of history has ever WON four titles running ... it's because history does NOT want them to!
As well as Tottenham played, it's 'History' that is dictating Citys stuttering results and faltering defence of their title .... and the worse bit for Tottenham fans is that it will leave the title door open for your rivals Arsenal , or Liverpool.
Erling Haalands frustration at the final whistle didn't just boil down to a late and 'iffy' refereeing decision ... it infuriated him mainly because of the two first half sitters that he missed, which would have made all the difference .... totally inexplicable misses from a usually reliable goalscorer, and one's directed by this 'historical fate' affecting City!
The God of fate love Aussies, don't rule out Ange "doing a Bradbury" ..... if you don't know what that is just google, possibly the greatest sporting moment in history 😂😂
Doku is overrated 😂
We also learned that the refs. Won't follows the rules.
You just had to throw a shot at TAA again didn't you? Couldn't help yourself, could you? Talking about a game he didn't even participate in. Smh. So silly
Did we watch the same game?Unsubbed
He talks a lot for a guy who doesn't say much.

What we learnt is that Simon Hooper is on the Spurs payroll
Right - the financially doped club buying advantage with 115 breaches buying advantage is Spurs. 😂
@@calumroche2851Simon hooper favors spurs still remember Liverpool game 🤡
@@calumroche2851 Simon Hooper robbed Liverpool against Spurs aswell.
Even if City are found guilty of something, that doesn`t mean that they are the only ones cheating. Simon Hooper seems to give Spurs every possible advantage he can within the rules, and that wasn`t any different against City then it was against Liverpool.
FFP is a horrible system, that only really benefits the clubs with the most fans(so it should be replaced entirely.)
