This is not just analysis. This is a documentary! So well sourced.
Thanks mate!
This is gonads. Easy to make stuff up afterwards and act like you understand how it happened. Peps genius is not in his tactics but in his man-management. He even admits that he doesn't do anywhere nezr as much as people think, the players theselves do much more than he does.
Pep Guardiola is the greatest manager of all time his quote says it is not about winning the trophies it is about the way you win them
Facts
@@mlh4711 that should tell you the elite human he is. Avoiding taking credit despite being blowing his head off to find solutions and letting all the praise go to the players, who we all know follow his word like a gospel.
Pep guardiola is a genius. I don't even know how this man's brain works, he has the ability to learn and improve each and every game and adapt to the changes of the opponent's tactics. The best manager in the world right now.
he experiments a lot. that is why he is the greatest. he is hard working. other managers are lazy.
@@floodnation908 exactly this. When other managers find something that works, they stick with it. Pep constantly looks at ways it could be adapted even further
Pep is the embodiment of Bruce Lee's - "Be water", keep flowing, keep re-inventing, keep transforming, keep learning.
Best manager ever
Snuck in terror ball. The tactics of Mourinho is not playing football at all, idk how you PL fanboys like anti-football
This is the perfect example of how a real team works. Starting the season one way, and ending it in a completely different one. Great video! And Pep’s tactics are just beautiful.
Klopp can’t relate
th-cam.com/video/kt5X3gdyWXM/w-d-xo.html
Honestly 🎉
At last someone praised City, Haaland and Pep
all goes to Pep really. Haaland in next few years under Pep will become all rounder striker
Lol what? Please people are jerking off city everywhere and if there is something against them it's the 115 charges, which honestly is a fair criticism. As it's not just twitter ramblings anymore it's reality
@@aakarmamtora3470 are those true or not first and foremost? haha, they end up silent about this also. Football have moved on to the point where right spending is determine the club's success. Why ur club got millions but keep on wasting more than Man City? Relegation of Leicester City and Liverpool poor season both because of no spending money on finding replacements. Whether u like it or not, the ONLY way to stop Pep is actually the right spending of money, right infrastructure and right future planning, like what Newcastle doing at the moment
@@aakarmamtora3470 charges have nothing to do with Pep and his players its management accounting staff if it is evne true.
@@aakarmamtora3470 alleged charges about giving mancini extra money and inflating sponsorship deal over 10 years ago has nothing to do with this team now
This is one of the best football related video(out of all the memes, goal compilation and everything), this right here is the genuis side of football summed up greatly by an able narrator.
Thanks man!
th-cam.com/video/kt5X3gdyWXM/w-d-xo.html
I have never enjoyed so much watching football like in Pep's era. Thanks for Barcelona, thanks for Bayern, thanks for City.
A football feast.
Thanks to the referees for making Barcelona reach the 2009 and 2011 finals.
Thanks to the officials behind the scenes for sweeping under the rug many breaches of FFP rules and doping rules.
Pep Fraudiola at his best👏🏻
@@shahzadirani really man? You are THAT much blind?
Objectively talking, this guy made football enjoyable for the past 15 years.
It’s nonsense to say otherwise, even his fellow adversaries say the same about him. Proffessional analyst say it.
Pep changed football for good but shahzadirani gives his expert opinion and says no.
...ok..
@@shahzadiranicry more 😅😂
@@shahzadiranilove those tears..seeing people like you cry makes me so happy. I hope city and pep continue to make people like you cry for the rest of your life. What a beautiful sight😊
@@tusharagrawal7734 fax bro, I also love it when people like him cry. Probably a Penaldo or Madrid fan. Bro just has some beef with messi, and must have decided to blame Pep and barca. HAHAH I love those tears.
In 2021 Pep Guardiola lost the Champions League Final, and many people criticized him for his selection of the team, and how it was Man City's biggest chance to win the UCL after their great season domestically (PL, Carabao Cup) but they threw it away, and how Pep Guardiola was a failure at Manchester City and an overrated manager despite his success domestically. In 2023, Pep Guardiola proved them wrong by not only winning domestically (PL, FA Cup) with a very consistent team selection in a majority of the matches, including most of the big ones, but he also won the Champions League as well (a treble), for the first time in Manchester City's History. He may have spent a lot of money, but he has lots of trophies to show for it, which proves his ambition as a serial winner. Greatest. Manager. Ever.
You giving a history lesson we don’t know?
Mate watchu talking about saying winning the pl,fa cup was our greatest season domestically , we won the domestic quadruple in the 18/19 season i.e PL,fa cup,carabao cup and the community shield
@@siddhant46s54 but one thing can't deny is Pep won silverware everywhere he goes
UCL is not for sale, if not PSG would have won it several times. If you spend all the money, but if you not have a great manager like Pep, you are not winning it.
It is a great story about how things will come full circle if you keep working hard. You might just get what you deserve in the end.
Pep will go down as the best manager in the history of football. You never cease to amaze us from 2008. Simply wow.
you can't bge the best when you literally inherited a great Bayern side and failed and took 7 years to win the CL with city despite 115 financial charges.
lol not even in the top 5.
How can he be the best ever when his first 2 UCLs he won were thanks to the help of the referees (Chelsea 2009 scandal and Arsenal 2011 scandal).
And his 3rd UCL is after he assembled this team after breaching multiple FFP rules lol.
Fraudulent manager.
@@ddha0000🤡🤌🏻
@@shahzadirani🤌🏻🤡
@@ddha0000 sir Alex fraudguson with 2 UCL in 30 years for same team🤣🤣🤣
Fraudinho going trophyless after every season now
Final form … nah this is going to keep evolving as long as he’s managing
It's interesting that the potential addition of Kovacic could make them even stronger, as part of the double pivot. They'd lose a bit of aerial power, but lose nothing in physicality and gain a great progressor of the ball with strong press resistance, along with the versatility to push up into an 8 role when needed against certain opponents.
I was just thinking the same 💙
That's true
Really reminding me of the Inter's Kovacic.
th-cam.com/video/kt5X3gdyWXM/w-d-xo.html
Since its also rumoured for gundo will be leaving. Kovacic would be great replacement.
Don't forget Bernardo Silva. As you showed in video that we have 2 cm and 2 dm in the game. Bernardo silva played as a right winger and the main quality of this player is his pressing. We have seen so many mistakes from the opponent because of Silva's pressing ability and not only that with Silva we have extra man in defense because he covers everywhere on the pitch. Pep just need to unlock his another pressing talent known as Julian Alvarez. Hope next season we will see Alvarez in many games.
at one point bernardo played left back shouldnt go unnoticed..
Pep Guardiola is the messi of football management.
No he is as he was as a player the brain of the team.
Yes, the crazy thing is they had worked together and won sextuple in their first year working together. Also produced the most brilliant football side in history in 2011
@@taskmaster9891 that 2011 barcelona was something else. really fucking scary, every match you know they're just gonna pass the ball around your team while scoring 5 goals and there's nothing you can do about it, especially frustrating if you're a madrid fan like me lol
@@robertlangdon494yeah. And City will be that way soon. Barca's confidence grew so much after their first treble under Guardiola. Same will happen to City next season. We might see some tiki-taka. If they don't sell this crop of players of course.
@@chaindrunkards1931 We won't see the tiki taka anymore under pep but a hybrid of Bayern 2020 style and inter 2010. This man city team are very big and tall and physically imposing so much that they can score any type of goals even from long balls and Bully you physically, not to mention them being good in transition AND possession. This is about to become pep's best system and one which will be difficult to break.
Analyzing the tactics of the greats like Pep & Mourinho is just as satisfying as watching Ronaldinho or Henry on the ball. The beautiful game 💙💙💙
What kind of tactics does Mourinho apply except for parking the bus the whole 95 mins with 25% of ball possession? Please don't insult Dinho by comparing his samba skills to the negative football play Mourinho's teams.
Mourinho cannot be put in the same bracket as Pep.
Gen Z i swear
@@carzyfn9985 I'm a 35 year old grown man. Please cry more about random TH-cam comments. Gen Z , I swear
Mourinho is not of the same ilk as Guardiola
Well done mate - Pep is never done tinkering - moved John Stones into an 8 role in the UCL final - will be interesting to see how he changes things next year.
Ederson as a striker ? 🤔😉
th-cam.com/video/kt5X3gdyWXM/w-d-xo.html
Hell prolly move dias into gk. Ederson as cb and walker as winger. Prolly kdb will be playing defensive midfielder 😂😂😂
Next season, barring injuries we might finally see ManCity unbeaten all season.
@@Xoman08That would be quite the achievement to be the 2nd ever invincibles and if they do it next season it would be on the 20th anniversary of the original invincibles!:D I'm not 100% sure can they do it, but if someone can do it, it's City
Man! Solving that kind of level...
Pep is on another level...
Cancelo is villain of the season .
Halaand the hero of the season
Stones the revelation of the season
Rico Lewis the discovery of the season
don't forget Palmer as well
Cancelo is a great player but his positioning and him moving higher up the pitch cancelled grealish out for most of the games bec he is going forward too much
Cancelo is great when you want an attacking full back who can do both overlapping and underlapping. But in a positional play, he can be the broken gear.
@@suhaybsaali7100 I prefer cancelo to grealish as my winger anyways
@@suhaybsaali7100he’s City TAA a better version but both can’t really defend
This has to be the best tactical analysis channel ever. Carried me through the season and helped me see this games in a different way.
Thank you for the wonderful season of analysis.💫💫
You the best dude. Big ups!!🙌

th-cam.com/video/kt5X3gdyWXM/w-d-xo.html
I really enjoyed the video, i like how he mostly rely on the system other than the players. This is how football should be played/evolve. I am lucky to live these days with City💙💙🏆.
Great Video. Really had a nice movie feel to it!
Just want to add one last point. One of the biggest step up was Ederson’s shot stopping ability. However his distribution was, his shot stopping saved city multiple games, and multiple game changing positions.
th-cam.com/video/kt5X3gdyWXM/w-d-xo.html
Love the step-up in production quality!❤
Needs to get a better mic tho
For me , the single most important tactical change we made all season was the decision to start Grealish, and make him an integral part of the buildup. His ability to maintain possession, win fouls, and carry the ball forward made him the absolute dream outlet for expansion during transition. Stones and the system of defending in one shape and then attacking in another is only possible, or at least useful, when we have players like Grealish, Bernardo, and Mahrez who are such brilliant ball handlers that it lets us get settled. You could see our patterns of play shift into fullback --> midfielder ---> winger ---> midfielder ----> goal, with the wingers carrying the ball forward and constantly driving inside. Foden was simply incapable of driving inside off the left, or shielding effectively towards the line because he's left footed, and putting Grealish in completely revolutionized our comfortability in this new system, and allowed us to maintain dominance. Not to mention his chance creation, defensive work rate, and amazing positional play to spread the field, he has been such a brilliant player. For me, he is second to Rodri in this squad in terms of names on the team sheet, because he is the only man in the team that can do the job he does, and it is the backbone of making this system function.
A Paid Gealish fan.
He was very poor generally only good in a couple of games. He is not even in top 10 wingers in the world
Order of importance (grealish has low significant input 14/20)
1. Rodri - of course UCL final goal
2. KDB - King of assist
3. Haaland - goals father
4. Stones - Beckenbauer reborn
5. DIAS - rock of Gibraltar
6. Rico Lewis - new kid on the block
7. Gundo- camouflage general 2 fa Cuo final goals
8. Ederson- antics in ucl final
9.Mahrez - FA CUP hero
10 alvarez - super sub
11 bernado ' Mr ubiquity
12 walker - formar 1 driver
13. Diego - fa Cup saviour
13 akanji - gentle giànt
14 Grealish - legend of the fall
15 Ake -
16 foden -
17 cancelo - hero tuned villian
18 laporte - missing in action
19 Cole palmer
20 Gomez
@Thinker, those couple of games were enough for city to reach final of ucl. You missed the point l, Guardiola won't let a player in for 90 min for nothing. I have watched football and premier league since the days its was EPL but let me make it clear Grealish jas been a rock on the wing for city. The qay city palyed later this season was all about possession and positional play. Had, grealish been an ordinary player, pep wouldn't have played him come what may. Apart from what was said in the comment, the ,primary role of grealish was to defend on the wing and not let a counter attack take place.
Many would underrate Grealish contribution in this team but in one interview, Ake described Grealish as untouchable, he keeps the ball, attracts defenders hence creating space for Bernardo in the right wing. Might not result in high goal contribution but essential in the way city plays.
@@goodman4093 at this point, you’re just talking shit about Grealish without recognizing his influence & constant contribution to this team.
Great 👍 tactical insight. He truly deserves perfection.

For those of us who are non-native and new to football, these breakdowns make watching and appreciating what is happening much more enjoyable. Thanks!
th-cam.com/video/kt5X3gdyWXM/w-d-xo.html
Aptly described. I followed pep tactics earlier in season. He alternated BTW 2-3-4-1(vs west ham) and 2-2-5-1(vs Bournemouth)in an highly ambitious attacking formation.
Walker played an inverted role , while cancelo was a left winger! This made the defence line thin.
It was after crystal place took a commanding 2-0 lead at half time in etihad, that pep repented for a more Conservative 3-1-5-1. I ddnt know why at the time but this channel indicated walker was useless in the pivot role
Brilliantly done mate.
great analysis but i think one thing you missed was that walker didn't really play in the treble surge phase until ake got injured since pep actually preferred akanji at right back and ake at left back. another thing is the significance of having bernardo start at the right wing position over mahrez to aid the press
FMS has elevated the game.
What a wonderful video: the writing feels like a documentary and the details on the video show the brilliance of Pep and his players.
Congratulations 👏
This is Pep’s burner account. Seriously top work.
The Liverpool match was when it clicked. Stones was amazing and Klopp didn’t have an answer on that day. He has gone on to mirror the same formation and Liverpool have “refound” their form.
People who say pep's legacy is built just on money need to watch this.
Pep > any other manager
🤣🤣
Every world class manager has effective tacticts like this.
@@edvardhagerupgrieg724 No, they don’t. Pep has forgotten more about tactics than any other manager. It’s not close. Mourinho in his prime would play the same XI and same tactics every match if he could. Pep invents new positions, changes players positions, changes formations multiple times per season, finds the solution to problems other managers wouldn’t even notice. It’s not close.
Pep is the greatest to ever done in, unparalleled
Pep’s entire legacy is built on fraud lol.
2009 UCL - only gets to the final thanks to the help of the referees vs Chelsea in the semi final.
2011 UCL - only gets past the round of 16 thanks to the help of the referees vs Arsenal (they were leading 2-3 on aggregate before the ref sent off RvP for a bullshit incident.
2023 - finally wins a UCL after assembling a billion dollar squad and breaking multiple FFP rules and doping regulations.
Just like Pep up against all the premier league managers that have come and gone in the same 7-year span, what he has achieved in terms of influence, style of football, tactics and trophies is absolutely crazy. Money helps, but in Pep’s case it’s so much more than that.
I think your video is almost well cover, just forgot to mention city winger (grealish and silva) who are willing to defend. That is why mahrez and foden even when they are available rarely chosen as a starter because they lack the defensive that Grealish and Silva provided. However excellent video as always
Have found your videos very insightful every time watching, but this simply goes beyond! I think this is my favorite video on your page I've seen so far!!
Brilliant Analysis & Video. Looking forward to watching all your content!
So well done. Thank you for this.
Great video but to me there wasn’t enough mention of the Grealish resurgence, the Bernardo insane season and the depth of the squad.
Impeccable analysis! Beautiful narration! Thank you
Thanks for your work, mate! Just incredible.
Solid content pal.... You've put a shift in here.
Got yourself a new sub
Incredible video and tactical analysis mate! Excellent work!
Spectacular work by you man!
Fantastic analysis. You truly make watching football more enjoyable. I learnt so much and my appreciation for Pep and tactics in general grew.
This is well put together. Great video. Pep's ability to problem solve in season and innovate is unmatched. Besides his team's dominance and trophies, that for me makes him the greatest football manager/coach Ive ever seen. Well done to Pep and his team.
Excellent video. Appreciate your work, king.
You deserve so many more subscribers dude. This content is incredible
Brilliant work. Enjoyed every bit of it.
I think it's very fitting that Rodri won the CL for City after getting benched by Pep in the last final.
Never go into a game without your defensive midfielder!!!
Good observation
Awesome content. Really enjoyed this!
wonderful video! gave a really clear picture of the whole year progress
Excellent video man, 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
what a well researched video...great work
Thanks for this extraordinary tribute to the arguably goat. This season has been absolutely unreal, no other manager has ever won two times the treble for a reason, the most challenging thing in world football
Lol you high on something? Treble has been won 10 times 3 by pep the rest by other managers including saf

Good work brother..Pep is a genuis

Im crying man this is a cinema
Well documented and what i can see through the season you display it all.
What a great video keep up the good work bro
Great video man!!!
Great video mate , subbed
This is crazy. Best 20minutes of analysis I have ever watched damn
great stuff, truly incredible
I have intensely followed every City match this season so I understand each and every point made in this video. When I saw everyone questioning Cancelo's loan I was genuinely surprised cuz people didn't get that he wasn't fitting the system. True his bold actions and the great of the pass made us win against Dortmund in the last minute but that always doesn't work. You can't pray for miracles at a chess match, and who better than Pep can know that!
This is actually the best analysis and documentary ability, this is an adapted full explanation, this is really good ❣️
Love this video. Very well done! I just want to point out that it was Akanji who shut down coman and martinelli. Walker rejoined the squad for a big game against Madrid away, since Ake was injured, although I think he would've started anyway to deal with Vini. What a singing Akanji turned out to be.
i was reading an article from coaches voice and it turns out pep got the whole idea of a CB inverting from johan cruyff at barcelona.During the season in which barca won the champions league under cruyff in 92 ,Pep would start at CB and move into midfield.He did this in the final against sampdoria
Interesting
i mean people forget Pep used this tactics before for both Barcelona and Bayern even for Barcelona im pretty sure was CL final 2009 when he played with Silvynho Pique Yaya and Puyol and in possesion Yaya Toure was doing Stones role forming a 3 a back and a diamond 4 in midle
Old news
Great analysis as always. Cheers to Pep and the Citizens.
Beautiful video. This is what football talk should be about.
Thank you FMS for all you do for football.kiitos
Your editing has improved.
Thanks!!
Nice analysis ☑️
What a video man🔥, just saw the glimpse of the whole season
Fms is the best place for understanding all football tactics ❤️
Excellent work. Just Excellent i enjoyed every bit of it
Bro , you deserve some recognition for this content , scintillating stuff 👌👌👌
Pep chops and changes his team so much half of the time we don't even notice 😂
Long time city fan man never miss a match, this. This. Is absolutely spot in mate. Your analyse of our game is so good mate.
Best football analysis I’ve watched!! Thanks!!
Really well produced video nice work
Thanks you!!
Meme summary: In his secret lab, Pep cooked up an abomination of a tactic with four centerbacks at the backline, a poacher and no Joao Cancelo. Did the tactic work? YES.
It's writing a line of codes with mistakes but it runs perfectly. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Love it haha.
Don't try this at home 😆!traditionally, using 4 centre back is a disadvantage because of no overlapping full back. Ask the Belgium national team to learn how to use 4 CB from pep.
You've out done yourself yet again mate. World Class video!!! 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
Great video really enjoy it 😮
Thank you
Gr8 analysis , football made simple!! 💙
PEP is a GENIUS manager
Great video. I love it❤❤
Absolutely love this man. This is just genius.
During the last 3 seasons CITY have evolved durinh the seasons. Pep has changed tactics midseason and each time its a masterstroke. I've never seen such ingenuity and pioneering. LITERALLY no team should try emulate Peps tactics because at any point they can change everything. Its FUCKEN INSANE AND OMNIPOTENT. I'm an Arsenal fan and I'M HONORED TO HAVE SEEN CITYS COMEBACK. IT WAS MIND NUMBING. I mean Cancelo went from the spine to being sent away on loan yet City marched on and got better WOW
This was soo good , It deserves to be in the City official channel
bro you a legend. great analysis
Amazing video, new sub 🤝
Always the best ❤ analysis
Master class analisis , thanks and go on please.
Pep is a monster. He created two monstrous teams in his life so far, Barca and Man City 2022/23.
The Man City team of 2018/19 season was also damn good. It's a shame how they went out in a controversial fashion in the CL quaterfinals against Spurs
Wow 🤩 amazing detailed analysis! That’s definitely help me appreciate Pep’s tactics even more! He is always innovating and continuously looking to improve.
What is your analysis on why Walker didn’t start the final? Understand the Inter didn’t have the speedy forwards like Madrid, but felt we lost a bit of pace on the right. However, when Akanji decided to push further up we scored 😍
Walker was the a key when the opponent had a faster player like Sane Vinicius and more but against inter it was more physical and player like akandji and Nathan ake are more physical and adapted to this inter team so that is why it was no need for walker to start because they had 3 centers back playing and they did it very well
Walker had a niggle in the fa cup final and pep didn’t want to risk it bec he had a back problem so he had options and he went with the others
I would love to see one day all this players becoming managers. And using this beautiful tactics at their clubs.
Imagine playing against each other
U realy deserve my like man!!!! DEAMN IT!!!!
Well done!
Great video 👏🏼
U just earned urself a sub. Ur tactical analysis is like pep’s tactics
Man you are a genius at this tactical breakdown ting
Pep plays w 4 good centerbacks. Spurs only have 1 decent centerback in romero and now levy wants to get maguire. Maguire and dier will become a must see.
the incredible thing is that everyone has their own role and cannot be replaced by others. They make up for each other. Kinda close to perfection like in this video said. Deserve the treble 👌
What a vid man, hats off
