    I'm not sure if their tactics will work as we get deeper into the season. Brighton did create a lot of chances, and Areola had an insane game. But it's exciting to see different tactics being applied in the epl compared to the generic ball playing style.

      On expected goals we (West Ham) won by the same score line as the actual result. Brighton had more shots, but the quality of chances we created were far better. We had no fewer than four one-on-ones with their keeper, they had none.

    Of course most people think of Mourinho when thinking of this style of play. It works well against possession-centric teams.
    Simeone’s Atletico Madrid follow a similar style which works well in La Liga.
    It’s all about winning, so whatever style helps you win a particular match is the style you should play.
    It’s a a great way to exploit opponents’ high line, and this led to West Ham's Conference league win when they scored the winning goal over high pressing Fiorentina in the closing minutes of the game in a tried and true counter attack.

      @@rmv9194 Various styles can work. It depends on the situation. For ex, Man City have a hard time against Tottenham.
      Also, see Japan vs Spain in the Women's world cup group state. Japan only had 22% possession but won 4-0! while that's perhaps rare, its interesting to analyze.
      Ultimately it seems to be many factors that contribute to winning. And possession does not always mean "no long balls" as Man City actually play it long quite often to easily exploit an opponent's high line.
      So perhaps a hybrid of approaches is the new norm.

    Ranieri won the League in 2016 with this sort of tight-between the lines organization, forcing the opponent to play on the wings and cross the ball, instead of making penetrating runs from midfield or through half-spaces.

Then to counter in devastating strikes is exciting and thrilling - and provides a relief to all the nerves. Yes the team may suffer much off the ball but are strangely in control - with excellent defenders - and when the defence is breached a world class goalkeeper. The Bowen goal in particular was a thing of beauty, WHU are not a one trick pony though - they have set pieces as well - and when needed have the players to unlock a low block defence. COYI

    David Moyes is one of the most underrated managers of the last 20 years, and I don't say this ironically. While people took turns in raving about Howe, Potter and Dyche (whose greatest achievement was in a season scoring 36 goals in 38 games. lmao) Moyes has always been there, consistently getting solid results with similar sides, sometimes overachieving, without absolutely crashing and burning the way the others have. Was Moyes ever as flaccid as Dyche at Everton? No. Did he ever take a team, fail to develop it over years, and end with getting relegated (Howe)? No. When he got the chance to manage a huge team, did he absolutely go down in flames and finish 11th? No.
    The only British manager over this time, and at this level, who has been as consistently solid is Hodgson, who is also never complimented. They'll never set the league alight or win a league title with Leicester, but they are proven over time to be superior to everyone else who gets the temporary hype.

      2 types of players thrive in his system. Big CFs who can knock it down and score a few and goal scorers who are tweeners, not really forwards but not really midfielders either. You don't really need possession footie if you have a guy like Antonio knocking it down to 2-3 onrushing solid goal scorers. Actually by keeping possession you are often giving you goal scorers less space to attack.

      Some might be delusional enough to think Everton were a "big club" during this time, but Dyche for almost his entire time at Burnley had better forwards than Andy Johnson, Yakubu, Anichebe, Vellios. The best goalscorers in Moyes' team were a broken Louis Saha, and an out-of-position Fellaini. Still scored more, played better football, got better results.

    Great analysis. There is a lot to be said for West Ham's tactics. No playing out from the back and losing the ball in your own final third. A low block and no space between the lines will of course mean it's hard to get through but conversely you won't be able to keep possession as illustrated in the match stats, but if you have a player is good at holding it up as West Ham do in Antonio then with speedy wingers a counter attack can be very much on. Stoke City under Tony Pulis played a similar style. Long ball up the field from the keeper or defense and they were comfortable not having possession knowing their defense and midfield were so good at soaking up the pressure and then countering. And under Pulis when the ball went out of play for a throw in or free kick the ball almost always went forward!

But it requires suitable players with suitable skill sets, longer learning span to establish decent levels of connections, cooperation and understanding between players.

      It means that the opposition team either needs to score a worldie from long range / create a nailed on chance to score a goal (very hard) or force a mistake from West Ham defender (Slightly easier) - This gamble from Moyes' system means the defensive players cannot make mistakes otherwise they will be punished. Watch this season for when West Ham do lose games - it'll likely be in part due to positional or concentration error of one or more players.

    This is exactly my philosophy of football, narrow, fast, direct to goal and efficient, so much that almost every pass and action leads to the opponent's goal, and I reserve my energy for the right moments, and allow the opponent to keep caressing the ball for me. If I ever become a coach, this will be my model, after all the goal is at centre, so why waste the ball to the sides?

    As a West Ham fan of many years I was brought up on Ron Greenwoods legacy of fast attacking play,although fragile in defence it was great to watch and frankly I hate the system we play under Moyes and the chronic lack of possession but I understand it’s a results business these days and It’s hard to argue with the achievements since David Moyes has been manager.

    @jameslong7128 Рік тому +1

    Moyes is only reverting to what worked 2 years ago. The problem is when you know West Ham can only hurt you with set pieces or forcing an error from a counter it becomes easier to mitigate this. West Ham really needed to sign a striker as Antonio has always had these little purple patches of form before it then disappears or he gets injured.

    Italy's famous catenaccio.
    Most recent notable example is Juventus during the BBC (Barzagli Bonucci Chielini) + Buffon prime. That UCL home game vs Barca where they won a solid 3-0 while frustrating the likes of Iniesta, Messi, and Neymar is a perfect example. They only completed less than 50% of passes with only 32% possession. It requires a disciplined defensive game as a unit with quick counter attacks and high accuracy ball distributions.

  • @markmann860
    @markmann860 Рік тому +1

    It will be interesting to see if Moyes' love affair with Soucek continues with him starting every game. You'd think Alvarez is going to be first on the team sheet as the defensive midfield one, with Soucek as backup. JWP, Paqueta and Bowen would seem nailed on to start most games with Ant up front. That leaves only one midfield spot between Benrahma, Fornals, Soucek and Kudus.

      There´s a lot of games and different competitions in our season. We will need variation and rotation - they all should get their time and be able to make good contributions, it´s the art of timing and knowing when the different systems and tactics are most appropriate & vary them as best as possible or feasible (ph yeah, an hoping bloody VAR does a decent job etc especially against the Big 6!)

  • @mdwellington
    @mdwellington Рік тому +1

    Football management isn't all about tactics. Things are going well for West Ham at the moment but they will lose a match or two at some point. When a top manager loses a match his team usually bounce back with a win. Moyes sometimes seems to struggle with this and a loss can often lead to a losing run.

    • @glenhoddle9
      @glenhoddle9 Рік тому

      Possibly, but thankfully under Moyes, we don´t ship that many goals - we normally lose these days by a single goal, sometimes 2 - but not like in the óld´ days. So, these are good for our overall GD and the pressure that that can generate on a team that loses confidence becuase of relegation worries. We operate more tightly & it picks up a number of extra points in.a season and wins us extra places in the league, we have become much more effective (though not (much) prettier strangely). Hopefully Moyes maintains focus in the team and players, because oin the past we would have slipped, lost confidence and motivation and just then gone on to lose games and/or more goals. If we maintain a solid defence set-up we should be well-placed to compete well again this season!

    Great video, love the tactical breakdown. I predict at top 8 finish for West Ham (2023/24 season). They should definitely be trying to push for a European spot though. I worry about their squad depth since they are in Europa, but certainly a better position with the sale of Rice to pick up more talent.

    Great explanation setting out an explanation of why with Ward-Prowse has made WHUtd so much more dangerous. As a counter attacking team even though they sold a generational player in Rice.
    Only omitted his Freekick delivery which like Beckham when Man Utd was so dominant.
    Oppositions were always reluctant to commit fouls even avoiding committing a - take one for the team Foul. Except on a 3 on 1 break away as the delivery from wide areas and conversion rate of direct free kicks to goals. Meant that moves were not stifled by break up move free kicks.
    Ward Prowse is just behind Golden Balls record of direct free kick goals. And with no disrespect to Southampton, with more proficient players around him at WHU he will doubtless get the opportunity this season to take David Beckham’s record

  • @HishamR89

    Overall these tactics dont work over a long season. Conceding that much control only works in specific and one off games.
    This is a great tactic against the bigger sides and in cup competitions.
    I think they'll end up somewhere in the 15-10th position this season. They have managed to get the right players in the last couple weeks after struggling to make any moves. They should really stay away from Mctominay and Maguire and make astute siginings like they've done so this summer.
    Id personally go for Hincapie from Leverkusen to cover both cb and lb positions and Billing from Bournemouth. These 2 players are gettable with the Rice money and they'd upgrade their game.

    It seems that this is what Ten Hag was trying to do at the start of the season but without a real target man it quickly fell apart, should be interesting to see how Ten Hag responds after the international break with Højlund, a natural target man, and hopefully Amrabat available as well playing as a single pivot.

    Is this similar to Notts Forest under Clough in the 70s? Close marking in their own half, gave the opposition space up to the half way line, massed defence, very little of the ball, fast wingers and a big centre forward. It was effective then but tedious and frustrating to watch.

    Nice tactics. As long as they win, whatever tactics is okay. Possession is not always good, especially if you don't have the technical players in your team. Moyes builds a good system, buys the suitable players to make the system works, not the overpriced 100m stars. Good manager, good team. Also, good analysis by the channel!

    I've always said the possession stat is irrelevant when looking at who deserves to win a game. The possession stat is more a defensive stat than anything else. When you have the ball, the opponent can't score against you. But what really matters for deserving the win is what you do when you actually have the ball. A team can easily have the least possession and by a big margin and still be deserving the win cause they use their time on the ball much, much better. If you look at the usual most used statistics of the 7-1 Germany-Brazil game, without knowing that was the game you were seeing stats from, you would'nt guess it either.
