Pep Guardiola's Manchester City met Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United for the first time in the Premier League this season. The game, ending 1-1, was a fascinating display of tactical ideology, as Pep went up against his mentor for only the fourth time. But how did both teams react to the goals within the game? Alex Stewart explores in this video.

I wish one day we live in the world where content creators such as you get the rights to do recap play by play video from the match.
Amen, bro.
The sad fact is that decent analysts like Alex probably wouldn't get enough time to actually do any meaningful analysis. I watched the United-Spurs game on Sky and the half time break was 5 minutes of punditry sandwiched between what felt like 4 hours of adverts.
I would have still enjoyed 5 minutes of Alex more than 5 minutes of ex United players moaning about how bad the team is though.
Not a lawyer but I think tifo should ask a lawyer if analysis is covered under transformative media
Dayan Siddiqui if you’ve ever watched Nouman, he often uses a series of still frames from the match footage to exhibit how certain things happen. He draws lines and highlights players in the edit, and it works quite well. Tifo could perhaps do something similar.
@@alahiri2002 Him or one of the other guys in that genre STILL get copyrigted sometimes lol
Calling Mendy positionably dubious is a compliment
you mean "understatement"
I prefer his wording. More profound
@@ICULooking Nah, I meant compliment. But two sides of the same coin though. If I called him positionally dubious it would be complimenting him, and it would also be an understatement.
In today's game so many fullbacks are defensively dubious, that I think that you are better off playing with three CB, just make sure that the two outside ones have a some speed. The average fullback is little more then a deep-lying winger.
This type of analysis is brilliant and very clear.
Welcome to Tifo
Yeah.....
Would like a similar analysis for Liverpool 2-7 Villa
👍
@@mr.nav2226 Just google image "Dogshit defending"
His normal voice is so slow I had to watch on 1.5 lol but ya good analysis
DeBruyne was so exhausted trying to keep up with Leeds, as a team Leeds covered 6km more than Man City. Only just missed the scalps of the top two teams... Only a matter of time. MOT
watch my last video 😂 maguire defending against spurs 😂 😂
@@footballislife7591 😂 This seems personal... What did Harry Maguire do to you? 😂
I reckon you'll do man u, hope so. Can't wait. Pity there won't be any fans there
@@shaunsmith7774 his dad's a Greek bizzy
Man I just hope Arsenal aren't the ones on the Leeds chopping block
Guardiola is a tactical ideologue until the knockout stages of the CL when he plays a back three and comes up with creative new ways to lose to inferior opposition every year.
Guardiola is a genius, no doubt. However, as Thomas Mueller said, Pep is a coach that is usually torn between playing attractive football and adapting to his opponents strengths (in the UCL). This analogy is correct. At the same time, I do not blame Pep for making tactical changes to match his opponents. Last season's champions league loss to Lyon at the quarters was not entirely Pep's fault. Jesus and Sterling especially, missed sitters. Man City had played Lyon the previous season twice in the group stages and they drew one game and lost one game. Pep played his usual 4-3-3 formation which transformed into a 2-3-5 formation when City had the ball. This formation is what Pep used almost all season when City won the league with a historic 100 pts (2017/18 season) and the 2018/19 season when City won the quadruple. However, that formation was always countered in the champions league. They dominated the opposition, yes, and created numerous goal scoring chances but the opposition found ways to counter attack. So I can understand why Pep decided to adapt to his opposition strengths last season in the CL.
When City played real madrid last season, Pep adjusted his tactics to exploit real madrid's weakness. He played a double pivot and in the home game where City beat real madrid 2-1, City were brilliant especially off-the ball. Jesus pressed Varane into a mistake early on in the game which resulted in Sterling scoring the 1st goal. City should have scored at least 3 goals in that 1st half with the way they pressed Madrid into mistakes. This was a tactical masterclass from Pep since most guys were saying Madrid would go through due to City's lack of form.
Against Lyon, Pep tried to adjust his tactics to suit the opposition weakness. Again, in the epl, we have 38 games. In the knockout stages in the CL, you only have 2 games to make ammends (home and away matches). Last season,due to covid-19, the knockout stages was reduced to just one leg and I understand Guardiola being cautious and setting up tactics that the opposition would not be familiar with.
Obviously, the Lyon manager and coaching staff had studied Pep's tactics that he uses in the epl and in the champions league games especially the 2 games against real madrid, so they were set on how to counter those tactics. Pep had to think outside the box and adjust his tactics accordingly. Jesus and sterling really let him down in that Lyon game.
In Pep's career as manager, his critics have accused him of not being flexible enough in his philosophy. Yet, when he does tactical changes and tweaks, the same critics switch up and say he should stick to his winning formula. For fucks sake, there is no winning for Pep, is there?
So when City beat Real Madrid last season, the critics showered Pep with praise for his tactical flexibility in both games. When Pep made similar tactical tweaks for the game against lyon and unfortunately did not work out, he is "overthinking" in big games?
I feel like for Pep, it is more of 'damned if you do, damned if you don't'.
I can see the influence Pep has had on the epl. More teams are now being brave by building up play from the back. The use of inverted fullbacks that Pep has made popular in the epl etc. The guy deserves a lot of credit for his work. Even if his critics say he always goes to big teams, true, but he always leaves a blueprint of dominating, exciting football. Personally, I enjoy watching Guardiola's teams play football regardless of whether they win or lose. They are a joy to watch and I learn a lot tactically speaking from his teams.
Finally, if you look at Pep's teams, they never stop playing even when they are losing a game. For example, the game against Leicester. Even in the last few minutes, you could see Guardiola urging his team to keep playing, to keep attacking. 85 minutes in and you are losing 5-2, yet you keep encouraging your players not to sulk and stop playing but to keep going. This is one of the things that I admire about Pep and his teams. They always keep playing even when it is clear cut that they will lose the game. Another good example is the champions league game against Tottenham 2 seasons ago. City kept playing and attacking Tottenham even in the dying minutes and Sterling scored the goal that would have taken city through but VAR happened.
The mentality that Pep puts in his teams is really admirable.
@Mantorras Montquilla ok, cool
Mantorras Montquilla In one year, he went from being a youth coach to winning a treble with a team that had just come off a season full of disappointments and internal struggles. He booted Ronaldinho and Deco out-which many saw as suicide at the time-and started a first division debutant in a Champions League final. Say what you will about his recent struggles at City, but it’s downright hilarious to argue that Guardiola isn’t a top manager.
@@magentalane27 Guardiola haters will always bring excuses to downplay his genius
One Indian boy why would a top manager want to manage anything but the best players they can get. It’s like telling a manager to not sign better players and jjst use average players and win. It doesn’t work like that. Every manager wants the best players to win games.
I don't understand a lot of negative comments here. I love that Tifo is experimenting and trying out newer formats for videos. Also, a 16-minute video? Yes, thank you! More of this please :)
Afreed
@@saintexcellence4550 afreed of what? 😂
What negative comments are you talking about?
Cliche ! Cliche !
Where are those negative comments ? Didn't find any
It’s a great video and I’m happy I can watch 1.5 speed because he talks sooooo slow lol. Good vid tho
This type of analysis from Alex is also very good and interesting
This is a brilliant video. The way you systematically break down each portion of the match both visually and verbally is very easy to follow. Your phrasing is simple enough for most to understand, and you explain each topic in enough detail to illustrate a clear picture of the entire match. Tifo doesn’t disappoint.
Agree, really enjoyed this format
Love the content, more face time on screen I'm sure will help connect viewers to the channel and help drive it forward. Haven't seen Alex on camera for this long before but handled it well. Excellent insight as always.
Nobody does this type of insightful analysis on the game but tifo. There is so much content on the internet for football that is mostly just surface level. This is what I love to see! This is the type of football content that students of the game are looking for! Great job tifo! 👍
That's how a match analysis should be done --
Goal by Goal / Before and After Trigger moments
The trigger seemed to be more players than areas for City. They targeted Phillips because he's a key player for Leeds.
I felt Ayling's role was massively undervalued here.He provided more like an engine in the absence of Philips,clearly dominating his wing...
Ayling. What a player. It's crazy that these championship players are able to boss in the prem. Man I guess there are a lot more potentially good players than we know of, they just don't have a coach who can unlock their potential
Wait, wasn't Philips playing?
@@nottsoserious he was but like mentioned in the video ,he was constantly in the shadow of pressing man city players,so couldn't get involved . He is the main progressor of the ball ,love his playing style a lot
Both full backs did brilliantly. Dallas and Costa's partnership ran the show for the 2nd half along with Poveda
Obviously we don't know yet where it's all going to end for Leeds at the end of this season, but I can definitely see Ayling making a move to a bigger club at the end of the season. Even if he will be near 30 by that time.
One of the best and clear tactical analysis I have seen , amazing video Tifo🤞
Amazing video, liked it but didn't even finish yet! I trust your video qualities and it always lifts my mood seeing a Tifo notification. Keep it up guys!
This is beautiful, keep it up tifo!
Can you make video on Ole Gunnar Solkajaer is he good enough and who Should Man utd get if he isn't good enough
Ole isn't good enough but he's not the reason united's defence is so bad problems go years back
@@ruralad actual problem is The owner they don't have great vision on the club if they had they would have gotten Dof and wont sack the managers and would backed them
watch my last video 😂 maguire defending against spurs 😂
@@footballislife7591 nah I'm good
Julian Nagelsmann
Great video Alex. Concise, with no fluff.
Would really like to see more of these.
im a tatical genius,no player can have a holiday under me
yet u lose every week
@@kingt2olase94 we just don’t la
@@kingt2olase94 middle of the table with that squad is a great finish. Look where Arsenal is!
Although it made no difference to the fantastic analysis, Cooper and Koch were in the opposite CB positions. Great vid 👍
I love this style of video and hope you do a lot more of them. I'm sure they're lots of work but they're super interesting. Thank you so much guys.
If you watched the match, you just knew this match will be a classic. Just amazing
Great format, would love more of these in depth tactical analyses of games!
Please make more videos like this for Tifo IRL. It's super helpful in following the flow of a match rather than just tactical analysis in the abstract.
This is just a brilliant video. I'm hoping this becomes a massive series analysing the biggest games every year in all competitions
Love this kind of format! Very informative and it feels like tactic class.
I love the change in style of the videos. You guys are by far the best !
That was wonderful. Thank you.
Can You make a video on Thomas Partey and how he will fit with Arsenal
Please keep doing these videos! I understand them more than with some of the animated videos... great video
Great video, Alex! This is one of my favorite Tifo videos in a long time. I’d love to see more videos like this. I think we could really do with a re-cap of last weekend’s City vs Arsenal. I’m still trying to make sense of Cancelo’s role in that game
Best vid in a long time. This type of video works much better than animations.
Very good. Clear and informative, thanks.
Really needed this 🔥
wonderful breakdown. Loved the use of the "on-field" look
First time I am watching such a video on Tifo and it was entertaining and educative. Need more.
Fantastic !!
More of this, please !!
I love this Tactical Analysis breakdown. Please do more of this! 🤗
Tifo made me so much more tactically aware. I love this channel 😭❤
I know City was coming from a terrible match, but how Leeds resist that game was Amazing. It looked like a Final or a World Cup game, so much dynamic.
I this format! More long analysis of particular games like this please :)
Brilliant analysis. Alex's voice over piano is the cherry on the cake

I want this type of analysis more. Thanks for this.❤
brilliant can you upload these kinds of videos after every special/unique match !!
Loved this. Definitely want to see more.
Great work Alex! I love this
Suberb Alex as always. Could listen to you talk football all day!
This video is brilliant! Hope to have more of this on future PL games!
I really enjoyed this, i hope this becomes a series!
I ABSOLUTLEY LOVED THIS VID! more like this pls!
This is fantastic. More videos like this please
Fantastic video!! Really like this format!!
A real man! 😮 Wowzers! ✌️😉
Awesomely insightful, as ever! 👍😎
Superb analysis. It is good to put a face to the guys behind Tifo
I was hoping that Alex would do more of this kind of tactical analysis from the Arsenal video, and I wasn't dissappointed! Great one lads, hopefully you'll keep making them.
The old format with the graphics and the heavenly voice would've been better. 🙂
Probably a 16 minute video with graphics is a bit too long and time-consuming
@@noahlie3302 But in the old-format, the videos weren't usually 16 minutes long.
Na, I liked this alot better
@@fadhilideche2831 But it takes much longer to make.
Alex voice is better
Tifo keeps blessing us with quality content
Very precise and clear info.
Need more of these!!!
Very interesting format and the length is great as well
Keep bringing more of these
The premier league has come across various coaches with beautiful tactics, i remember when Conte's 3-4-3 was used snd it stunned the league, into adapting. With pep, the 17/18 season came, i remember telling myself "Wtf is this" to man city's dominant playing style. My thing here is Managers that come to the premier league with a beautiful style of play are already phenomenal in my book.
For a league to have to adapt to the way you play, yes we can say man city aren't as scary as they were before but, teams still have to set up for Pep's side, shows everything. Watching leeds v city was amazing, fantastic video, and even a more fantastic league.
This is part of the reason why the game's so beautiful.
I wasn't sure about a 16 minutes video but so far am loving it
I really like this format, for tactical breakdowns of games
I was waiting for this video
And I thought, I was a god in FM.
Well done very clear and detailed
🤭
Good stuff! I'm learning so much. The bit about Paveda drawing in players which freed up the left wing. Does Pepe ( Who can be direct as well) clear up space for Auba in a similar way?
Great analysis. Even better top!
Going to watch the Extended Highlights of the Game after this.
Where are they?
Please do more games analysis videos this was beautiful
Great analysis. Thanks
Pure gold this video.
I’d honestly love more of this type of video. I love the tactical chess of football. (Although some managers are playing checkers)
I enjoyed this. Making potentially complicated ideas, sound interesting but understandable.
Learned a lot from this video, thank you!
Great video !
Love this analysis!
Best football analysis channel out there
It's like a wartime story, brilliant form tifo
Great analysis. Love that vintage AS Roma shirt
beautifully explained. but their is some problem with the audio. some word endings are having high pitch sounds.
Love this type of video
I see your AS ROMA 90-91's tshirt game and for it I salute you sir
Brilliant stuff. This is what should be on sky and espn
Absolutely awesome ❤️
Tnaks for that good analyse
Can you continue this Analysis, it's easy and well understood
More of these analyses please!!
I really liked this style of video 🔥🔥🔥
Great video
Goddamn how do you manage to make so great videos each and every time ?
awesome analysis, could you do one for aston villa vs liverpool. just astounding how big teams like liverpool and mancity who had been superior for 2- 3 seasons, gets total humiliation by team lesser than them. is it due to player fatigue caused by compressed schedule in the early seasons? its acknowledged that leicester goals came from 3 penalties and villa scored from 3 deflection, but they still played well against city and liverpool
your best video yet
Interesting analysis, that shirt tho ❤💛
Tifo this is why you're the best I prefer the animations😤😂
I really enjoyed this
Love this!
How about a proper analysis of actual seismic result in villa’s 7-2 win over Liverpool.
“Maybe we shouldn’t play such a high line?”. Done
High line + constant mistakes + 3x deflections + a good gameplan by Aston V. Done.
Liverpool were very stubborn with the high line when they had a failed pressing situation, thus Villa Midfield would make nice diagonal passes behind the line under no pressure.
I think this was due to happen, because I've seen the previous games and there was always a few very close calls that somehow didn't come fruition.
Villa was primed and ready to execute and they did it almost perfectly!
Liverpool got exposed for replying too much on a risky strategy and not having the willingness and flexibility to adjust to the obviously indefensible situation.
This system only works when you can press almost perfectly and your defenders and the keeper are aware and ready to clean up the few chances, but that day was not the day and I hope Klopp devises a back up plan for the off days, because we have the players that can win us games in different ways. No need to be exposing yourself when you can adapt and neutralize the obvious threat.
@@fwfeo Good points. Notably, Henderson & Mane were missing (crucial for the high press) and Allison (crucial for sweeping) were missing.
Really interesting!
I need more of this
