Tactical Analysis : Chelsea 4-4 Manchester City | A Beautiful Mess | 

I have never seen Kyle Walker get done like I saw today. Sterling was outstanding.

Pochettino has an understanding of Pep's principles, so his attempts to thwart him are way more effective. Pochettino always seeks a shootout with Pep and it mostly works... It's pretty impressive to watch.

toward the end of the game POch realized Palmer had become weak on the wing so he brought in MUdryk to play 11 and shifted Sterling to 7 so that both wings would have fast guys. Then palmer shifted to the center. Poch also removed Enzo and Caicedo to strengthen the attack threat by bringing in Broja.All these changes brought Chelsea goals immediately

Whenever Guardiola gets found out, he adapts. He will plot his next move during the international break.

Gallagher can mark 2 or 3 players at once successfully 💪

That Connor Gallagher boy must be Pochettino’s pet terrier. Ran all day and press like a animal on hunting. He would kill players if instructed to. What a player.

people are saying lot of smack about Enzo and Caicedo.. the amount of pressure they absorved and their off the ball game was just brilliant.. this allowed palmer, sterling and gallagher to do their thing..

Plus Poch kept changing his tactics to counter every of Pep's moves. It was more like a game of chess. Poch really worked on his team.

Rodri was almost alone and non existent in that midfield. The moment i saw a 4141 formation, i knew sthng was wrong. However ,i got to give credit to the chelsea midfield. Those guys really hustled us hard.

Poch has definitely outsmarted Pep to a large extent. CHE looked more dangerous and have been transitioning through the middle with ease.

Hàs to be pep's Worst defensive game in years since Liverpool's 2018/2019

this kind of game made it obvious why city put in a bid for declan rice. rodri was overwhelmed by chelseas athletic midfield without stones as his pivot and lead to chelsea getting into tough positions dangerous positions. when control is difficult these things get exposed

sincerely, if Chelsea were able to convert their Chances, they would have defeated City by 6 goals to 4....Gusto and Palmer missed a great chance to score in that match....City had more possesion but Chelsea created more scoring chances, but their problem is how to convert those chances.....if they can solve that problem....Chelsea will give a lot of team a big problem.......They are playing better than their results and even their current position on the log....Please, check the statistics before you criticize me.

Chelsea young players are so compact with eachother especially Caicedo , Enzo and Gallagher... their chemistry just so on point 😮

I stayed all night waiting for the video, thanks bro ❤️🙏 watching you from Ghana . 🇬🇭

without Enzo, Chelsea will struggle to build at the back and will be forced to use Gallagher as the main man for ball progression. Without Gallagher pressing in the no 10 spot there's no one in Chelsea bench have the stamina to do that

I was getting worried about you. You haven't published in a long time. Glad to see you back with upgrades and improvements! Thanks for alll your work! It's truly appreciated

Now we await Guardiola vs Klopp on the 25th 😂

Chelsea did a similar job vs Arsenal

I think Poch deserves a 7.5 this time. It takes not only great tactics, but a lot of preparation to take on this Man City side and play against them as equals. Kudos to Poch for his hard work, finally we see some of the results. (ps. neutral to this game, I don’t support either side).

One thing i can tell u Pep will take note of this As usual he's always experiment in initial phase and after jan the real game starts that's when other teams feel pressure and City mean real business

Pep is intelligent when it comes to pressing and possession but Poch was on a different level

I can’t wait to see how Pep adapts after this. This was a wake up call.

Game of the year great match

You should do a video on a Leverkusen match. What a team to watch.

I could not predict Chelsea playing through city. Nonetheless 10/10 entertainment.

It was just fenomanal to watch! I was wondering how Pep's system works, because everybody in Peps team is also changing positions, its crazy. They execute this so well. But it works even better with Silva on the flank with Grealish, it becomes defensive so much stronger because they defend relentless as well. And they are stronger on the ball then foden en Goku, or whats his name..But Chelsea was very good on the ball and could play themselves out of tricky situations, and that is where tactics always falls short or comes to life; I think the tactics of Pep are genious, but Chelsea played very well and had a decent tactic.

The big issue for Chelsea for me, was the lack of pressure when sitting back. They just let City have the ball in their half. There's a point where they need to engage pressing and they didn't, that was fatal.

great video. What app do you use to record the 1:35 part of the video,my man?

Sterling and Palmer, from the wings and the centre were phenomenal.

I rewatch your videos sometimes because of your background music. So soothing

Your background sound and how deeply and shortly you make these analysis videos>>>

This is very clear. Thank you for the explanation.

But this Manchester City back 3 won us treble, i think pep should go for back 3 when stones is available

Nice analysis. I waited for your analysis on the Tottenham Chelsea match. Would you do it?

You know a team is good when a draw against them on home turf is considered a win.

What chelsea also did well was in playing a lot of quick 1-2s on the wing to break city's press.

Great video, thanks.

Thanks to the individual abilities from sterling and palmer to chaos city's defence

Beautiful game ❤

Father you're back

Probably the most exciting game this season.

Good match from both sides

This analysis is top notch

hi, what type of tactical board do you use?

Ngl was such a marvelous game to watch

Thanks man

Chelsea in the first half pressed with a 442. But the front 2 men remained deep to cover the box midfield which was now a man to man marking zone. City broke this by attracting one of the chelsea pressers to press the cb leaving the midfielder available for a pass. This became a 4v3 but chelsea handled it well

This season shows that teams are adapting to Pep and Man City, its not going to be easy for Man City this season! Well played to Chelsea!

DO NOT stretch your backline when you are building up, especially against a high press 😂

Have you thought of replay some of your vids into fm24. Really want to see

Insane game one of the greatest of all time Both teams playing all in to win, fair result the draw The rates of managers is no sense sorry, because man city is the best team itw the standards are way more demanding and every game the same Pep is the goat for a reason and according to your analysis even in the derbi game getting a poor mark

The only thing missing in this video was the best line at the end of video "keep it simple"

Never have seen Kyle Walker so haggled and not-composed, even when he played against Mbappe Sterling gave him a game to never forget

As you can see all the city games pep doesn't know which tactics to play he is experiment with that wide back three

Poch used enzo the same way he used to use dembele

If you want to stiffle Pep, make him play in YOUR tempo 😂

First to watch and first to comment today. What a game. Te best of the season

How much of this is planned and how much is natural ability of players in the moment.

We are missing John Stones

Can anyone explain hw on earth palmer was named MoM and not sterling? 🤔🙌🏽

Pochettino 👏🏼

Was a bit worried about you mate been a while you posted I hope you are doing okay

want 2nd part of this video

Everyone is memeing nico Jackson but he had one clear chance to score and he took it.

Bernardo should have formed the double pivot

Pep will come up with new tactics during the international break. Wait and see

The formation that city played was good in build up and creativity but the problem of the shape was in defense but at the end pep will always make it work lol .

Tactically both mangers knew if they win the mid-feild they would have the upper hand. Safe to say neither of them did. The scoreline says it all. Amazing match to watch and gotta love showing out for my team!! Cmon CHELSEAAA💙

Ucl teams better take notes, especially tucheliban

Great game, but defensively, both of the teams were awful.

A Beautiful mess indeed

pechettino y enzo fernanadez sos crack ...aguante argentina

This is because city isnt playing a low block

When you force city to play chaos the dont performe well

Tactical changes by both sides throughout the second half were a big factor why the game remained so open throughout the full 90. Man City tended to depart slightly from their main plan - to have each member of the pivot players in the 442 structure to drop and gain ground depending on the position of the ball, and certain key players such as Enzo, Silva and James, by becoming far more man-oriented, and trying to lure Chelsea to build into areas between the lines through the wide zones, where they could be caught on the ball. Chelsea adapted pretty early, though, making the surprise tactical substitution of Enzo for Mudryk, and moving Gallagher from the RW/RM spot to a double pivot alongside Caicedo. Sterling then played RW, Mudryk LW, while Palmer was central again, operating as a link between Jackson and Midfield. They then began to launch longer and look to take on the full backs directly 1v1, while when out of possession, they were very narrow, with Palmer tight to Rodri, and looking to apply pressure on the ball when it was moved wide, rather than more centrally. The game became very chaotic at this stage, especially as Chelsea's appetite for taking risks in possession was great, and I think this more than anything will concern Guardiola. He was able to introduce Grealish and exert more control on the match in possession, but when the ball was lost, he wasn't able to manage the game, and both sides were still trading multiple chances up to the last minute.

You only focused on what Mancity didn't do right. Is it because Chelsea were the underdogs?

Was John Stone a miss for City?

Pochettino knows how to deal with pep

I don't understand why pep want a wide 3 center backs that literally defeats the purpose of 3 defenders, I you want wide chose 4 defenders

Palmer of course gave our every tactic to poch. Would be a different score without him

The referee is the reason City did not lose yesterday

So Gallagher was the key for Poch.. for offense and defense

Lol all the goals they didn't score at the start of the season Also can someone tell me why Ruben Dias was sliding during Jackson's goal?😂😂 Also Gallagher is actually a work horse oo

I hope etH is noting these

Can u do liverpool vs Brentford plz

Conor the beast

Yo... Where is the Arsenal 1-0 city video!?? Still waiting... You went MIA for a while.. Still waiting😮😮😮😮😮😮

Sterling killed it

Dias did Maguire Defending

Both sterling and palmer should be tested for drugs. I dont believe players should have pure strength for 90 minutes

Gallagher the engine room

Chelsea were good. Man city were poor. Particularly Ruben Dias. That was his worst city performance since he joined the club. We were lucky to draw this game

Wow Anthony Taylor

Right treatment for Manchester City.....

Galla-Dog!!! Galla-Beast!! 🦍 Gor-llagher

This match was more of Man City players being sloppy and Off than Chelsea being brilliant. Just look at Diaz and Gvardiol for that Chelsea 2nd goal. Kudos to Chelsea though. I also feel if Pep had played 4-3-3 false 9, City would have had more control of the game.

I can predict that at Etihad Pep boys will destroy chelsea easily.He is a master in tactics

❤

Mancity played poorly , but the fact that they got a draw shows its poor peps tactics but the qualty is the reason we draw
