Sheffield United’s performances in the Premier League this season have put them in the hunt for European football - for a newly-promoted side many thought would be mired in a relegation struggle, Sheffield United have played with huge tactical ingenuity and skill as well as work ethic and organisation. Chris Wilder and Alan Knill, the assistant manager who has overcome his run-in with a squirrel to become one of the most tactically innovative number two’s in the game, have forged a team greater than the sum of its parts by developing and refining an approach that gets the most from its players, producing excellent football and results.

Could you do an England version of sensible transfers that's called sensible choices which goes through each position for the euros
Brilliant idea
@@firegoose2167 im waiting

Campo Pope,Ramsdale,Henderson. And I bet Jordan Pickford is still gonna find a spot somehow
Good idea get on this Tifo
As a Blade it is with immense pride that I see my beloved team play such praise worthy innovative football, especially with players normally considered 'Championship' players and with a core of British talent. All the more so when you have a huge Blades fan in Wilder Managing the team and another huge Blades fan in Billy Sharp as Captain of this team. This is truly the greatest period for Sheffield United in my 30 years watching and am under no illusion things change quickly in modern football but I am going to savour this time and no doubt talk about this period and Wilder's team into my old age. "Na then lad thas n'er seen big Jack O'Connell and Bash bomb wing has tha, na that wut Football!"
@@userth13539 Didzy was injured just returned to the squad. Mouset been in and out, form has dropped a bit since New Year. Billy Sharp brings an experienced talent that our attack thrives on compared to when he is not playing.
@@matthewsouthcott1987 Indeed and who scores the goal that gave us 3 points against Norwich? Billy. A master of his craft. In the right place at the right time. And he does plenty of work up front when not scoring goals as well ! I expect CW to select him for the Newcastle match. Give the lad 60 minutes and see what he can do.
Blades have surprised us all this season. I'm Manchester United fan, wish to see them in Europa league next season. The deserve it.
Are Sheffield Weddnesday a bigger club historically than Utd. Like Liverpool bigger than Everton, Man Utd bigger than city etc?
All with Saudi oil money.
Imagine the Champions League anthem ringing at Bramall Lane as Sheffield United hosts Real Madrid in the group stages. This could happen next season, lol
...and then Barca in the quarter finals.
@@needfoolthings It is absolutely possible. There is only Liverpool away who have managed to over power the Blades. But Liverpool are the best team in the WORLD. Could have beaten them at home though but never mind. I would be ecstatic if we made the Europa League next season. However if we don't , I am sure that the team has exceeded ALL our expectations.
@@needfoolthings pls no we'd lose 4-0 away there
@@drstrangelove2771 Champions league football will be great, but in reality I see Blades playing Europa league next season. They've done exceeding well this season.
Bramall lane is oldest stadium in World so hosting a Champions league game would be fate.
I like how you called us "United".
Not a lot of pundits want to do that because of some other team despite it being a very common appellation in Sheffield.
It’s only one united so fuck of Sheffield
Dowgie AP Sheffield are actually doing better than some random clown team with lord Lingardinho
Edit: clown as of today not due to the past
Tilak Mishra learn respect boy it’s only one united
Joika Bolle did you read the edit (it was done before you even replied)? No one can say Man Utd is a big club as of today (in History it is a big club).
The Blades being THE FIRST, THE ORIGINAL club to call themselves United, surely mean's they above anyone have the right to refer to themselves as United. All the other 'Utd' teams are basically copycats, Man U didn't happen until 13yrs after the Blades.
I can't imagine the scenes if they make it to the CL knockout stages.
I'm a blade and if we qualified for the champions League I don't think I'd possibly survive the scenes to actually see us play in them 😂😂⚔️
Can’t imagine it either because it’s not happening
Pro gamer 11 I’ve seen you in a lot of comments. You are one salty person
Europa is more realistic though
No need to
I think the overlapping centre backs has got to be the most creative innovations to football in the 21st century. It actually blows my mind that nobody else has thought of how much this can add to a team's attack
The thing is Barnaby there is only one team in the Prem who have been able to counteract it. That is Liverpool. They struggled at Bramall Lane though but got lucky to get the result. But they are the best team in the World. Got to hand it to Klopp he is a brilliant Manager.
@@drstrangelove2771 no I think liverpool were super fortunate to come away with anything against Sheffield. They didn't really deserve to
This is not new. I remember Brendan Rodgers using similar tactics for a short period of time in 14/15 season with Liverpool using Can as the Overlapping CB and he was kind of our creative outlet.
@@kgpgotenks oh was that liverpool's banter era?
@@kingaufswag nah, it was your mom's.
Tifo : * Releases a football video analysis of Sheffield United *
Thirty seconds later
Me : 🧐🧐🧐
I thought it was just me!! I had to rewind and pause some areas of the video😂😂
This is so relatable!
Best team I Saw at elland road last season! The only manager to really out do bielsa was wilder only the ignorant thought Sheffield United would struggle I’d love to see them in Europe next season
Well in Matt Good Hatrick Saturday can we get promoted?
Ben Morgan it’s now or never
Matthew Smith brilliant header for the first goal Matty Smith Come on you lions!🦁
Ben Morgan thank you for the congratulations my dear friend I hope to replicate my performances during the following games love you pal xx
@@matthewsmith8727 well we beat them 1-0 aswell. when we played them at home they just put 9 men behind the ball, i'd hardly say thats out doing bielsa. everyone does that when we're at home, it's just sometimes we dont score because well... its hard to score with 9 men in front of the ball... lol
“Alan Knill, the assistant manager who has overcome his run-in with a squirrel”
Me: “I’m sorry, what?”
he was riding his bicycle when he hit a squirrel, sending him flying onto his head and neck.
It's a cracking sorry
My Fiancée is a Scunthorpe fan.. she never gets sick of telling that story 😂
SantomPh huh when was this 😳
I cant believe you don't know that story, its nuts... I hate myself.
Sheffield United are the best thing to happen to football in recent years, a delight to watch and with players from League 1 days still playing vital roles in the side. All credit to Wilder and Knill.
Being a blade right now is like something out of a movie! Cant believe I was watching us in League 1 for 6 years only a few ago. Now were in the Prem, challenging for the CL in our first year. Love it! UP THE BLADES! Sheffield is Red and White, the city is ours!
Come On Sheffield United! I want to see you guys against Barca and Bayern next seasons!
Zero Suit Samus they’ll get destroyed lol
@@beatzguy honestly, I dont think they will. They haven't been thrashed once this season.
@Chama M'cheleka I know and united haven't which shows how good they are.
They’re good but they won’t ever be playing those teams
Zero Suit Samus lol never gonna happen
See what happens when you actually coach defensive tactics rather than just play a low block? They're up fighting for Champions League football. Most teams' most difficult fixture this season has been away at Bramall Lane because their defence is so tactically astute.
tdyerwestfield - OFTW OG well they’re not getting champions league football so shut up acting like they will
Pro gamer 11 They could easily get Champions League. They're only 2 points off 5th.
Could you make a tactical analysis of Atlanta Bergamo
Atalanta should be considered more internationally, here in Italy we (I'm an as roma supporter) all know and love how they revolutionized the game in serie a.
It's ATALANTA FOR FUCK'S SAKE NOT ATLANTA
Best way to wake up on a Monday morning. Cheers Tifo.
It terrifies me how good Sheffield United could become with higher quality players. Wilder and Knill are incredible tacticians.
thomasaurus rex completely agree, Chris wilder has bought low quality players from prem clubs and good championship players and now making them into world beaters and to add on top of that signing wonder kid sander berge!
@@Jake-ld2yb He was incredible with Northampton Town in League 2 as well.
I just earlier this season watched RB Leipzig play a similar (although a slightly more attacking) way in a 3-5-2/3-4-3 with overlapping centrebacks in a match. It hit me that they played Lukas Klostermann, usually a right wing back, as the right centre back of the 3 and him regularly entering the opposing penalty area with runs from deep, even creating chances for himself to score.
I thought that it's not uncommon to have a centreback make a run into the box once or twice a game for a chance, but it happened time and time again so it couldn't be a coincidence. A genius innovation by the brilliant Julian Nagelsmann I thought, as I hadn't seen something quite like it before. It seems Sheffield has found success doing something similar.
If RB Leipzig keep doing it and Sheffield are having success with it, overlapping centrebacks could become a trend in the new decade of football, and I'm really excited for it as it turns dull 5-back formations into real fluid, positive attacking football!
Another amazing video by the best football channel on youtube.
Finally Alex gave in!
Thank you so much for giving us what we desire❤
I'm a Chelsea fan and the only team I would accept to take our top 4 spot is Sheffield united
John Egan, Enda Stevens, Dean Henderson, Jack O'Connell and George Baldock are an amazing back-line.
Barry B no basham ?
You forgot Bashambauer
Yessssss, a video on Sheffield!
Like Liverpool and Leicester a team doing it the right way.
Sheffield have been really impressive. Hope they can make it to CL qualifiers.
*Sheffield United. Don't call em Sheffield
@@harleyspencer5464 yeah,cuz Sheffield Wednesday is in the championship lol
@@harleung9113 still a bigger club
Big ask as Sheffield FC play in Northern Premier League Division One
They aren’t getting champions football stop assuming
I have been waiting for us to appear for ages get innn
I still think the overlapping centre backs are insane
Sheffield deserved a Tifo video
Alan Knill who's overcome his run in with a squirrel head me on the floor. Hahahaha
Completely forgot about that!!!
We didn’t.
Nice to see someone has actually done their homework. As John Egan penned, 'Playing proper football the Sheff United way'........the dog n duck upsetting the big boys......UTB ⚔️🔴⚪⚫⚔️
Henderson should be England's number 1
Very proud of the team, doing this well so far has been more than any fan could have asked for at the end of last season
I was waiting for this all week...
I was waiting for this since October
I heard the podcast and I really wanted a diagram to go with it.
Wilder AND Knill are the modern day Clough and Taylor.... Let that sink in.! They come along very rarely in a life time
McGoldrick and Fleck two Coventry city legends. Enjoy their quality. Also Norwood and Leon Clarke
Fleck has been unbelievable, probably one of the best free transfers in English football history,
@@freedomisslavery6840 he is a cracking player and the most complete midfielder going. I don't know how it took him so long to be in prem and get a Scotland cap
Leon Clarke? He hasn't even started a game yet and probably won't. He barely played last season either
Right Tifo !!! Now I'm gonna applying 5-3-2 in Nuneaton Boro
Brilliant analysis
FINALLY!! Been waiting for this for a while
Wilder deserves manager of the season. The Blades were odds on for going down, but they have done brilliantly with little money.
As a Sheffield lad so happy to see the Blades back in the premier league and doing so well. Just as long as they finish bellow Man Utd 😆
Wilder for Manager of the Year ❤️⚔️
Gotta love them blades 👊🏻💯
Even in FM this team is hard to beat
If u play fm u know that player attributes determination is most important and most of sheffield United players determination were more than 14
I personally think this Sheffield side is much better than the Leicester team that won the league in the 15-16 season
Tom Luke Mapako JR But the current Leicester team isn't better than their 15/16 counterpart yet they are higher than Sheffield on the table.
@@dervertica the current leicester team is better
Dark Leader Too inconsistent to be compared to 15/16 Leicester.
Bro my mind grew like an inch or two watching this video. not even my coaches have taught me this stuff
Sheffield United have been tactically in a class of their own.. good football, with good structure and hard work
I think Cruijff used attacking wide centre backs in a 3-4-3 sometimes at Barcelona. I watched a video of him describing how it caused opposition forwards to track them, reducing the threat the forwards could cause by being further from the Barca goal.
This video hasn't aged so well. 🤔
Incredible observation and detailed analysis
You wot mate? Not first in the ATHLETIC?
HERESY!
They are a good side
Listen im a man u fan but i appreciate how well they have responded to the haters by being above arsenal and spurs in the table just behind man u i thought they would struggle and get relegated on ganeweek 28 of the season
Been waiting for this for so long
Can’t wait for Sheffield United v Barcelona
BODOP APPROVED can’t wait for you to shut up
I think a misconception with sheffield united is that they play crap, defensive football where they grind out matches. But this perfectly interprets how innovative and attractive there are to watch. Watching them play in europe would be fascinating
Why don't you make a video about Atalanta? They're playing superbly these days
This is awesome!! More football tactics, PLEASE!!
We’ve got a lot on the channel already: we do a tactics video every week
@@Tifo I been looking through and watching.
Damn this is some complex tactical stuff.
Great analysis! Could someone send this to Garth Crookes? He’s “not a fan of the Blades basic style of football” apparently 🤦🏼♂️
👀
well... he's not wrong... sheff united are a defensive hard working team who get men behind the ball against good teams and counter. or against lesser sides they overload a bit more. but yeah, its not like they're gegenpress or anything like that, but a good side nonetheless...
@@Writeous0ne oh dear, someone else commenting who hasn't actually watched Sheffield United, just like chubby Garth
@@JG-ib7xk you have 44% average possession mate. like i said sheff united are a sold defensive team who get 9 men behind the ball and counter with the top 2 strikers and wing backs etc. what is incorrect about what i said? a lot of sheff u fans speak like they are liverpool. your tactic is a solid defensive block, you have hard working team players, good wing backs etc. you arent playing tiki-taka or gegenpress though...
Ivan Juric's tactics at Hellas Verona. He has them playing in a similar style to this where they push up the wider centrebacks, of a three man backline, really far when the team has possession. I'd love a video on that.
hope someone will make more realistic this formation on football manager game
Sheffield United fan here
Bielsa's Chile played like this, with overlapping centerbacks. See Fabian Orellana's goal against Argentina in 2008, where Gary Medel (right center back) ran to the touchline after overlapping on the right side and assisted Orellana to score for the first and only official win that Chile has ever got on 90 mins against Argentina.
Didn't bielsa say he had tried to play cbs overlapping but he couldn't do it. Something like that
As the other commenter mentioned, when Sheffield United played Leeds Bielsa said that he had attempted it but was unsuccessful, and was impressed at how Wilder had managed to make the system work when he himself couldn't. Bielsa also said that Wilder was the only manager doing things he'd never seen before, and that he had learnt the most by watching Wilder than any other manager during his time in England.
I know it’s kinda niche but I thing a video on the fall of the central coast mariners and the Brisbane roar from being the Hyundai A-League’s most successful clubs to , particularly with the Mariners, the laughingstock of Australian football in 7 years would be pretty cool I think.
The most entertaining premier league side to watch along with Burnley.
And Newcastle
You forgot Hodgson's Palace side
And man city
I hope Sheffield gets a UEFA UCL spot!
Arguably quite rightly Klopp will likely be tipped as manager of the season for his impressive title win, but for me the step up isn't that much greater than last season. My vote would be Wilder all day. No disrespect intended to Sheffield, but the fact that he has got a poor quality side playing such high quality football is a testament to his tactical and man management approach. Playing a system that gets the most out of the players while also getting the players to get the most out of the system sounds easy, but in truth it takes good coaching, good tactical analysis, a good recruitment policy and good man management. Rarely do those things come together, especially at a club of more limited resources like SUFC. Credit to them and credit to Wilder
I don't know why you think the players are poor quality
@@mimik5856 some of these players are released from league one and championship sides. It's to their credit that they're playing at the level we have seen, and it's to the credit of Wilder that he's seen more in them that just players not good enough for other sides. But let's be clear, most of these lads hadn't been gathering interest from the top clubs in England
Also Conte at Inter sometimes does it, using Bastoni or Godin to bring out the ball
FINALLY
Interesting..............
watching this in 2020...
Tifo, could you do a video on the Irish footballer, Jimmy Dunne who scored 42 goals in one season for Sheffield and still hold the record for them in a top tier division.
Dean Henderson hasn't just been the league's best English keeper this season, he's been the league's best keeper. Can't name a keeper other than him with either his save range, reliability or comfortability to a team like Sheffield United, which (taking NOTHING away they've been superb) are not physically the best team in the league. No doubt Henderson has been a cut above the rest this season.
That is not true, he has had a couple of errors this season like Liverpool game, Chelsea and Watford to name a few. I love Dean henderson but he is slightly over hyped, the fact is he doesn't really have many good quality shots to deal with. I think he will become world class but isn't there yet. This is coming from a huge blades fan but I get annoyed how much publicity he gets just because he's a man utd player. Chris Basham, baldock, Egan, norwood, fleck, mcgoldrick have all been just as important if not more. e.g. Mcburnie who no one has talked about has had more defensive contributions than any other striker in the Premier league and has one of the highest aerial dual wins and he's only played half our games. Still feel like there is a lot of lazy analysis of sheffield united
@@harrybishcrew Dean Henderson is now much better than De Gea and on top given pay rates and age he deserves a chance at United and De Gea deserves throwing out. End of discussion.
@@bens4602 have you watched much of Dean henderson? He's very good but to say he's better than De Gea just isn't true, he may be in a few years but to say he is now, is crazy. Till last season De Gea was still widely regarded the best in the world so just because de Gea has had a poor season for him which is still a good season but to be honest man utds defence has been poor and ours has been really good. When Sufc played man utd this season I thought De Gea was incredible. You are showing the true fickleness of football fans.
@@harrybishcrew Yes it is. Stop talking about the past. De Gea can buy a Zimmer frame, Henderson is new and he's in.
@@bens4602 de gea is 29! , he's still got 5 years of World class goal keeping in him. He's been a legend for Man utd and you already want him out for a 22 year old still unproven GK (half a season is not proven). I love Dean henderson but I would trade him for de gea if you want?

I think Sheffield are sort of proof that the manager is more important to a clubs success than players
Whoa!
Can you do a history of Chris Wilder?
there's a 'one of our own' podcasts with chris wilder on Sheffield united youtube
Im curious to see which teams will adopt the overlapping cb tactic.
Were not Sheffield, were Sheffield United, United or Blades...Sheffield are another side altogether.
Atlanta tactics please
can u do a video on:
impact of coronavirus in football
hopp and bundesliga protests
chinas football revolution
why are so many of the top 6 premier league sides doing so poor and are in transistion?
Make a video about coventry city fc!!!
Please do Burnley with Vincent Kompany. He has done marvellous job.
Try this in pes20 you'll love it
I remember on Dream League Soccer (at least, when I played it) in the 3-4-3 and the 3-2-3-2 the ball-side wide CBs would always overlap offensively. Don't know if the AI still does that or not, but it was interesting. I'd also like to know how Sheffield doesn't expose themselves with two overlapping CBs. Does only one CB move up at a time?
Make a video about Glasgow Rangers and how they are the most successful domestic club in the world👍🏻👍🏻
⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
Time to replicate this in FM.
It's not possible, unfortunately
Damn. Maybe next year.
@@MultiMcKane hopefully!
Would love to see a video about the rise and fall of Truro City! :D
Great job.
Please do one on Atalanta
Never seen a team with strikers that have very good hold up play
U should make one on Atlanta
Tifo. You should put numbers on your dots in your tactics animations
I like this team, i use this team on my master league
At the end of the season they statistically have the fourth best defense while Man U man city and Liverpool have world class defenders and defensive midfielders and Sheffield has nothing close. Tactical genius
Mason Holgate would work so well in this system
If you get a team with a bit more skill and quality this team would beat anyone. Its years of hard work though.
Yeah £500 million does it
No. That's not how this style of play works. For this to work, you need fighters. Irish, Norwegian, Yorkshiremen. Not a lad who will fall over when he's touched. It's not about the quality of the player as much as the system.

They’ve won more then Liverpool since Christmas now lol
