  • Despite being written off after a disappointing season, Manchester United didn't just beat City in the FA Cup final, they did so brilliantly. And while his time in at the helm might soon be brought to an end, it was a tactical masterplan from Erik Ten Hag that got the better of Pep Guardiola at seemingly every turn. Adam Clery takes a look at the Dutchman's ingenuity and explains how he pulled off one of the shocks of the season.

      That's because they're fully aware that no matter how good United's tactics were, City on their best day would have ran all over them. And that holds more weight to them, cos it's not the first time United have been this good. But it's one of the first times City have been that bad.

They just won their 4th PL and their only other real interest would have potentially been the CL (but no…). United were simply hungrier for this one. For City it was like “yeah whatever, the season is already over, when am I getting my next drink?”.

    I think this also shows why the injuries hurt United so much this season. They have almost never played with Martinez Varane as their centerback pairing.
    It's like having Arsenal play without Saliba and Gabriel for the majority of the season. You can't just compare teams and say ''they had injuries too'', because it's way more nuanced. Where are the injuries exactly? United still played without an actual left-back this game.

      You said it. People only compare the no. of injuries but "who is injured" matters more than that. The Saliba and Gabriel example you gave should be enough for people to understand how much changes and comprises you have to make.
      And didn't Arsenal derail last season because Saliba got injured!? He is the only Arsenal outfield player this season to play all minutes in PL and Arsenal fought till the final day. Idk why people don't understand this and go further in discrediting the manager.

Shaw is arguably the best lb in the league when fit. And Rashford slump in form correlates with Shaw's absence due to his style of play. If we had Varane and Martinez we'd be way ahead.

    I am ecstatic at that win, but I also feel vindication.
    Because I believe Ten Hag had the exact same plan 12 months ago, in the last FA Cup final, but when we conceded a stupid goal less than a minute into the game, the whole plan of patiently stopping City goes out the window, they’re happy to just hold the ball and see the game out with a 1-0 lead, United had to gamble and press which played into City’s hands.
    But this time, United got a bit of luck, they were much more stable, there were no silly errors, and United could just be patient and force City to try and win the game. Played into United’s hands, and I know people will say City were unlucky not to score from Haaland’s shot hitting the bar, or Alvarez’s near miss. But United were unlucky to have their goal ruled out and there were many times where United’s press was a fraction of a second too slow for City and they just marginally escaped a catastrophe.
    Up the fucking reds

    As a Man United fan. Honestly with all the crap we have endured this season. This game, this win, was a very special one. I want to give very special praise to a couple of players who could have flopped in this game but did not.
    1. Rasmus Hoiljund. This guy is going to be our striker for the next decade. We just need to find him. This kid scored a few goals across the season living on scraps. He gets benched despite being the only fit striker at the club. Yet he does not moan or grumble. When he got on, he did exactly what the team needed. Chasing down lost causes, fighting for every ball, even winning 2 free kicks in dangerous areas. We need to support his growth next season. Still he needs a mature world class striker to rotate with which will give him time develop.
    2. Sofiyan Amrabat. This guy just showed the United transfer window department how important it is to get a young, defensive midfielder who is inherently calm and responsible. The second goal was scored only because of him. No disrespect to Casemiro but if it was the Brazilian, he would not have taken those extra touches to help his team get into position while dragging other players towards him. The Morrocan still isn't the player I would go for as a permanent transfer as he can be a little clunky on the turn and not as press-resistant, however in this game, I felt apart from a couple of shaky moments, he was amazing; both in possession and defensively.
    3. Marcus Rashford. The guy could have sulked and fail to turn up considering the fact that he did not make it to the England national team for the Euros. (Frankly I actually think it would be a blessing in disguise for him as he needs a good full off-season break.) I suspect that he was injured during this final in the early stages of the game but he stayed on. I say this because in the early stages he ran hard, press aggressively but after that he kinda was a little cautious in everything he did so I suspect he got injured. Still he played unselfishly for the final and set up the 2nd goal. I hope next season he will regain his form.

Ten Hag can definitely build something here if he's given the time.

I have wanted nothing but success for ETH and after hearing all the talk about him being sacked, I was kind of sad. You can see the look in his face, he didn't do this for himself, he did it for them, he did it for us!! He deserves to be our manager regardless what people think. We knocked out Liverpool on the way to nearly CLEANSHEET MANCHESTER CITY in a FA Cup final, if you need to let that sink in then fine, but I watched that game yesterday, forget what people are saying, haters will hate.

    Great analysis. The "withdrawn 4-2-4" was a work of genius which, as you say, stopped City in the central areas. But I think one thing you missed was how this stopped Rodri performing for pretty much the whole game. This is a guy who had not lost in 90 mins for over a year. McTominay followed him everywhere - he probably sat beside him on the bus back to Manchester.
    Rodri dictates their play and United did not let him settle. He is usually able to break the lines in midfield in the W that you pointed out. However, when that is suffocated, Rodri is usually excellent at spreading the ball out wide to create space yet McSauce (and at times Bruno) did not allow him to do this well as he had little time to set himself, which is another reason City could not exploit the space out wide effectively. When Doku started the chaos on the left, the whole United side began to drift over to that side but McTominay stuck diligently to his task. The one time Rodri found space, he broke the lines when it was Mainoo who pressed him (meaning United were out of shape) and he then found Foden in a pocket to then set up that Alvarez chance.
    After that miss, United seemed to recalibrate to the City changes and did not look threatened again until Onana made that howler.
    Obviously it is not as simplistic as "Stop Rodri, you stop City" but if you can stop Rodri, you stop City...

    People doubting ETH‘s capabilities not just because he won the FA cup final indeed know absolutely nothing about football. The journalists including former players hosting popular shows are on top of that pile. It took Klopp seasons before Liverpool could win anything and because they were at their lowest bottom, there were no expectations. But one look at the journey of what he was building and then it was realised what he was truly creating.

    Rashford's pass across the field in the build-up to the second goal is among the most memorable. The fact that he even dared to do so, in a pressure-cooker match with the stakes so high says a lot about his confidence. It could easily have gone out and leading to a City throw-in. I hope he'll stay on at United, and for the team to get back to where they should be - serious league title contenders, at least. Like what Arsenal and Liverpool have been this season.

    This is very fair analysis of the game.
    This season couldn't build on the last because the two CBs that was crucial to their defense last season was injured.
    Ten Hag got both Martinez & Varane back in this game, and they won the cup.
    Ten Hag's game tends to also build from the back. When Martinez was out, he had Shaw to cover last season. He had neither of them this season, and that also affect the team in attack.
    Pep sum it up perfectly in post match interview that Martinez was making a massive difference in this game with his defense splitting passes...

    Something I have seen nobody say is that Diogo Dalot needs credit for absolutely man marking Bernardo completely out of the game. Garnacho also made Gvardiol his btch the whole game, the first goal was just the start. AWB put up a good fight against Doku, but ultimately lost that battle as he was allowed to put one in.

    We were so lucky that we had the perfect counter weapon for Man City's Doku.. Wan Bissaka.. undoubtedly the best 1v1 defender on that pitch.. if it was Dalot.. the result would have been different.. that's why AWB is a good back up right back to keep.. definitely when we require a specialist to nerf the opposition players.. like he has done to Sterling, Salah, Mahrez, now Doku.. ( btw that goal was due to Onana's mistake and the midfielders not closing down Doku quickly)..

    • @4kVIDEOS722
      @4kVIDEOS722 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Naah, Liverpool have one of the worst 1vs1 defenders in Trent and they still manage to go toe to toe with City. Another example is Carvajal at Real Madrid.
      You have to look at the bigger picture and have an overall system and tactics, not just keep a player that is good two or three games a season to block a pacey winger.

    • @4kVIDEOS722
      @4kVIDEOS722 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      AWB can not cross, for example one of our goals came from an amazing cross from Dalot. You need players with vision and football IQ they will bring far more to the team than someone that can only defend. And on top of all AWB great defending skills we still conceded from Doku on that exact right hand side. We have to have a winner mentality and play not wind not play not to lose.
