What are your memories of this match/both teams?
8:2 win!!
Mike Riley
Those days PL was very violent and these types of stuff were very common. Arsenal fans crying over one particular match in the comments like it would have got them 10 PL or 2 UCL trophies makes me laugh very hard. Oh by the way I ate too much rice today. If you know what I mean Arsenal fans.
I don't remember it.
Shyama Prosad Banerjee You are lame, and even by those standards back then, the ref was still shocking. He couldn’t handle the pressure from ferguson and bottled it.
Please do tactics of man Utd 2010/11 season where an average United side were epl champions and ucl finalists
I'm a United fan and the team had less marquee signings but the team was able to perform due to sir Alex Ferguson. Because of him the team performed even with average players. Vidic was best but old and team's defence was bad. Mid was average, wings were better and attack was great
Loser Karma well you guys had a peak Rooney , Great defenders like Vidic & Ferdinand
Not sure what you are talking about. United had a better goalie than Barca and better centerbacks than Barca. The best left back in PL in Evra. A prime Rooney, a prime Carrick and Scholes and Berbatov was the league top scorer.
@@surrehue333 dude that Barca side was the best team ever. Our centre backs were great but old. Scholesy was 35 or 36. The only world class players were Rooney and Vidic.
@@HM0092 I guess we just disagree. Old can be gold.
And Wenger faced his eternal rival
'Ted'
Fergie's team talk: "Kick 'em, lads. Kick' em hard."
With Scottish accent
True. no tactics. Just play dirty football.
"You smash anything with two legs, you get me?!"
This was incredibly insightful and informative. People would say that Fergie wasn't very tactically astute and maybe it was his coaches came up with this but it does show that United did work on tactics under him.
That’s a massive myth
What a performance from the ref too !
Wow when u look at football pre 2010 u realise tactics haven't evolved so much but just different.
U see Fergusons tactics were more about freedom and individuality. And it was more inclusive of the whole team.
Mike Riley tactical masterclass. United should have finished the game with 9men
kaushal chavan we should’ve been infront
Cry
The invicibles run was meant to have been ended by Portsmouth at Highbury. Pires diving for an equalising pen.
Football is stronger place now the game is much quicker. I hate it when people think that players and teams in the past were better. I was watching full matches of teams back in the early and mid 2000's and late 1990's were they struggled to play from the back when they tried, defenders were mosly hoof the ball players. The intensity now is much quicker there is a big difference when watching liverpool and city of now with arsenal, united and chelsea of back then, although they still had great players. So fans should embrace the present.
But late 2000s football onwards is golden.
Memory of this game was that Phillip Neville had the game of his life. Maybe its just nostalgia, but I just have memories of him being awesome that day.
You ever just get recommended a video and your mood gets FLUSHED
Peeper mike Riley is a prick
6:40 RVD Rob Van Dam
You're missing a major part of United's tactics that day. The Nevilles spent the first half kicking Reyes, focusing on the ankle he injured in a European game a few days before. RVN took out Ashley Cole. They effectively disabled Arsenals left hand side, which you pointed out where their main goal threat was. All United had to do was be patient in the second half and wait for their moments.
Love old games analysis
The whole tactics involved Henry
Hahaha
Right on
& for utd Paul scholes
the ref deserved a shout out for his performance. did everything in his power to stop arsenal hitting the 50 mark
Ajmal Erfino word
@Young Gooner im too young to remember all that but some say that we should have won soo many of those draws. i guess it all kinda balances out
I have a request : Arsene Wenger's Tactical Profile since the 2006 UEFA Champions League Final against Barcelona.
I think Wenger starting to decline since that match.
Najmi Zahir Handalan We declined because our quality and caliber of player declined due to our lack of finances.
@@hitechj5057 The management on the Emirates' building progress was the icing on the cake, because tbf Arsene Wenger basically can overcome that obstacle on his tactics even ideas on improving young talents.
I think you missed some bad refereeing decisions in this analysis
Referees were not making mistake officiating man u games they were doing what Manchester united was paying them to do dive get a penalty kick arsenal players and the referee looks away reyes was kicked the whole game garry was playing him dirty
@@melaninbotswana2474 cry.
You mean how Mike Riley ended the run? This game will forever remain a disgrace in EPL history
What's disgraceful is after all these years you haven't come to peace with the better team teaching you a lesson.
Cian Mulvey mate you’re like 12 you weren’t old enough to watch the robbery that took place .. just type in mike Riley you’ll see
@@04foreverinvincible69 Pires dive against Portsmouth? Ashley Cole’s kick against CR7? Every team had their moments of dirtiness, Arsenal included. Stop pretending.
U mean how Mike Riley ended the invincibles
Kal Kuma thank you 👏🏼
So many years and you still can't accept the better team ended you...
@@cianmulvey5552 better yeah? Give me an explanation on how ferdinand didn't get sent off? The 2 neville dickheads did fuck all but hack Reyes and ur saying they're better lmfao, ofc a rooney dive to top it off
th-cam.com/video/mM747L9Wf8M/w-d-xo.html
Cian Mulvey Better team ? Ur having a laugh mate
@@micah0190 yeah mate .A champions league winning team is better the one which does n't win one.
Why did you have to ruin my day like this 😭
Have a good rest of the day. I think you need it.
Rooney was such a complete player way better than players like haaland or future talents we see now.
You forgot the key tactical aspects of this win, the kicking, and the diving.
Preston North End have also achieved the invincibles in the 1888/89 season
Please stop saying the reff is bad or controversial . This is fixed, rigged to the core. Simple and truth. English pride will not allow foreign manager with foreigner team become the best team in England. Because of a banana eater below, had to mention THIS WAS 2004. Early 2000's when EPL starts club buying non-English players, club hiring non-English managers and non-English owning clubs. Thank you for your time and please stay at home.
Are you fucking kidding me? Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea? Moron
@@Alex-yj4jt Wise men speak because they have something to say. Fools speak because they have to say something. Plato.
P/s you are the later.
Hate to break it to you but Mourinho and many of his foreign stars at Chelsea won the league in 04/05. 12 points clear of Arsenal and 18 clear of Man Utd so this game didn’t really mean anything. You still have the unbeaten record anyway.
@@ontheball6756 This game means more than what you're trying to say especially to Arsenal fans. Losing the unbeaten run hurts but it was done in a very insulting way. Not controversial nor unfair. Insulting.
@@ryomawashere4032 Good job, you worked out how to copy paste quotes on the internet. You're completely missing the irony of your statement. You're doing exactly what I did and flaming someone you disagree with. There is no racial bias in 'letting' people keep records with clear evidence in the success of the clubs I mentioned and their overseas manager and players. I stand by my comment. You are just a poser trying to be a smart ass and making a tit of yourself.
The referee ended it and Ferguson knows it.
Justice for Pires diving against Portsmouth
This video was so enjoyable
Breathtakingly good 👏
Keep it simple 👏
i think you missed a huge tactical, ferguson method about this game. He won the game after mentally killing them. it was a game where i think he trained the man u players to hurt them without giving free kicks away. its some of the dark arts defenders used back in the day. it was reyes's downfall
Mike Riley ended the run, not Man United's tactics. Yes I'm still salty.
You are not salty, you are right
MUFC
EXACTLY!
Ref was very poor that game.
If it had been in Highbury then Neville would've been sent off
What about when Ashley Cole WWE tackled Ronaldo onto the ground in the penalty box 5 minutes later at 9:05 which the ref didn't give Man United a penalty? It evens out. You were fairly beaten. Or what about when Pires dived in your "Invincible" season against Portsmouth at highbury which won Arsenal a penalty and rescued you a point and robbed Portsmouth of 3 points? Should we also talk about that? You got beaten fair square. Take the L and move on with your life. It was 16 years ago. About 98% of the players who played in this game have retired. About 1% of them are still playing on the verge of retirement and 1 of them is dead. Fergie is no longer Man United's manager. Wenger is no longer Arsenal's manager. Move on !!!!
Whenever this match pops up, it boils my blood. Utd deserved at least 2 red cards, Refs in Pl are horrible, there agenda against Arsenal was clear .Arsenal could have easily been near 55 or more unbeaten
They were afraid of the cunt ferguson
Loser
Atleast two ? Atleast 5
Salty arsenal fans cry more
@@AverageGameEnjoyer72 toxic and fragile united fans cant accept facts
cope harder
The arsenal players really should have brought machetes and knifes with them because all the united players that day was only interested to foul, harass, tackle, and fight, The referee didn't give a crap. Lmao
Jonas filberg better side won that game
Mufc ok
maybe if yo'd had tried scoring instead of flailing on the ground. you'd have won.
Yeah that's what I rmb as well. But arsenal players are pussies. That's y it always works
@ Rooney flailed to the ground and he got a penalty, so you're onto something
I have watch this match live when i was a teenager but never knew RVD the wrestler was playing instead of RVN (Ruud Van Nistelrooy)...
Im loving these new videos.
Can you make a video on cruyff’s dream team?
Yes that would be amazing!
You Guys have been dropping some amazing content. Keep it up
THANKS BRO. I WANT ANALYSIS OF INTER VS BARÇA 2010 SEMI
2 legendary teams
How about a video on Liverpool’s 2005 champions league win
Now this is the content I signed up for ✊🏾
Can you do Mourinho's 04/05 chelsea?
Yeah it will only be the only invisible team since a Liverpool team didn't do it,
FMS great work
More like how the referee ended the Invincibles ... 😒😒
The referee allowed it to happen in the first place
Well the referees did. Even Ferguson won't deny having an influence over these matches.
You don’t know what you are saying
MICHAEL OGOSI go watch the match again the ref ended not Ferguson... Freddie was clean through on goal when rio took him out and didn’t even get a yellow just go rewatch the match
04 FOREVER INVINCIBLE that a far cry remember the last ditch tackle Thiago Silva made 2014 World Cup that was a red but he got away with it......it’s just the referee decision not to give a needless card because Ferdinand had a touch in the ball
Great video bro
It wasn't Ferguson, though. :D
If there ever was a referee massacre...
Stfu dude just because of a controversial pen it was the ref who won for united??but you will never talk about the foul on ronaldo in the pen area🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Mohammad Mehdi Shirazi It wasn’t just the penalty ... It was the number of terrible fouls which didn’t result in yellow cards ... Arsenal’s momentum kept being cut, and the ref didn’t punish the Man U players
@@kaartheikgeiyan6004you gonna talk to me about fouls??arsenal were famous for doung tactical fouls under wenger.plus if you knew anything about the rule and regulations than you would know every foul doesnt result in red or yellow cards.the fouls which have malicious attempt or which harm the opponent or if the same player commits 3 or 4 fouls only than cards are given.
Mohammad Mehdi Shirazi Watch the game again. There were many malicious and violent fouls committed by Man U players which went unpunished. Especially on the late Jose Antonio Reyes ...
@@kaartheikgeiyan6004 i have watched the whole game.malicious fouls mean the fouls which can injure a player and have nothing to do with breaking the play.
let's face it. it was the referee. corruption to its core. red nose won't go anywhere without that web.
Yeah right lol arsenal always used refs in there time.plus ronaldo was fouled in the pen area.
@@mehdi4391 what time? Arsenal were the team to "challenge" United's supremacy on the league and not the other way around. Are you high, an idiot or both? Don't be like this, look at the highlights and you can see how Gary Neville and Ferdinand should've been red carded and that game is one of the reasons VAR was needed
@@usmantayyab6628 well you have never won the premier league for a decade so just shut up
@@Psychadelicio and you never have been the invincibles, nor will you ever be
@@saurabhmathur6125 first win the UCL 😂
0:26 “Ted & Arse.” 😂
Love your channel
Miss you sir Alex Ferguson😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Mike Riley tactical win. Corrupt Fergie could not win Wenger tactically that's why he used to use 14 players on the pitch.
If you think that it was tactically win of Fergie over Wenger than shame on you. This video should be removed. I even did not watch it.
Do u know dat u guys will have no invisible season if not for diving in Portsmouth 18yards box, if u wanna talk fair then b fair.
His #1 tactic was a nice big check to the refs
This game became notorious for two things.the absolute thuggery against REYES, player after player took turns to kick, him and not a ,THE SECOND 5HING, not a yellow card or any action from the ref...THE thuggery did not stop at REYES, but this was the worst example.
would you make your top 10 best managers video
Which app you use for describing the tactics formation
Biggest robbery in the history of football.. criminal how rio Ferdinand didn’t even get a yellow card for the foul on Freddie despite being the last man and denying a clear cut opportunity
More like the day Mike Riley ended the invincibles.
This was a disgraceful game. Mike Riley ended it not Man U
I guess Mike Riley scored 2 goals n arsenal couldn't score one.
This match was a F***ing disgrace
This game was quite a controversial game tbh.
I thought Preston North End was the first team to go unbeaten?
One of the most disgraceful matches in the history.
Better Title: The day that Manchester United took Arsenals virginity
United deserved to win the FA cup that year, Arsenal were dreadful.
Hard luck - ended the unbeaten run, ended the season without a trophy.
With a blatan, pathetic Wayne Rooney dive lmfao that’s how.
*blatant
its not about tactical, its because they bought the referee 🤷🏼♂️
At least u agree dat arsenal is broke 😂
Arsenal fans still crying over that penalty incident? 😂😂😂😂
Okay. Lets talk about Ashley Cole WWE tackle on Ronaldo in the penalty box 5 minutes later at 9:05 which the ref didn't give Man United a penalty? Or should we also talk about Pires dive in your "Invincible" season against Portsmouth which won Arsenal a penalty and rescued you a point and robbed Portsmouth of 3 points? Should we also talk about that? You lot got beaten fair and square. Take the L and move on with your life. It was 16 years ago. About 98% of the players who played in this game have retired. About 1% of them are still playing on the verge of retirement and 1 of them is dead. Fergie is no longer Man United's manager. Wenger is no longer Arsenal's manager. Move on !!!!
Not just the penalty... the overall performance of the ref ... man united should’ve seen atleast 2 players sent off
@@04foreverinvincible69 If Wenger had played the same way throughout the last season (03/04), there would have been no Invincibles. In games where they ought to go out and win, they defended and settled for a “negative football” draw like some mid-table club. And don’t tell me Wenger never applied dirty fouls. Pires, Bergkamp, Henry, etc., as much as I am in love with their flair and elegance (even as a Utd fan) were known to employ dark arts here and there throughout their careers. They didn’t do that on this ground and that’s why they lost. You don’t go in half-hearted.
I thought you were going to explain your tactics without mentioning Ferdinand's shocking tackle on Ljungberg which went unpunished. For all your analysis, that was the reason Arsenal lost the game.
The whole 90 minutes of a singular event? In a 2 goal game? This goal worth 3 or something?
@@daylinlouw3340 the game ended one nil where Rooney dived ...watch the game before you comment
@@adamstoweett6803 ronaldo's penalty?
8:41 doesn't he speak about that?
Rooney Dived to get the penalty thanks to the ref it was awarded wich was never in 1000 years was a penalty.But u are a typical die hard man unitd fan that made this useless video.if VAR was there that day Rooney would hv got yellow card instead
Ronaldo wasn't given a penalty dat one you were blind to. U guys lost move on, didn't even score one goal. Arsenal fans always complaining, during ur invisible season couldn't win d CL, maybe d ref coz it also.
Mike riley masterclass
The referee ended the invisibles run on this day not fergie
10 minute mark
Great analysis. A bit of constructive feedback: the video could be shortened significantly and not come across very slow-paced. If you still need to make the video 10 mins long for ad revenue purposes, consider covering two games of similar tactical analysis.
Neville on midfield?
Ref gave free penalty for rooney..
He gave a free one to Rooney then Ronaldo paid for it equation balanced. The game ended 2-0 so even d ref gave u one free goal u still lost.
@@Qclips35 The match saw a series of unprofessional fouls that were overlooked by referee Mike Riley, such as Rio Ferdinand on Freddie Ljungberg in the 19th minute and striker Ruud van Nistelrooy's studs-up challenge on Ashley Cole. Arsenal dictated much of the early play and created several openings
Mike Riley*
Sir Alex tactics didn’t win him that match. Mike Riley being on his payroll did.
Why the analysis, it's so simple dirty tackles.
How I wish I could go back to 2003
Manchester United played dirty and the ref was on their side!
Plss do paul scholes
Arsenal were the second team in English football go have an unbeaten season
Because of refree
Mike . Riley .
The most iconic match in prem history.
Thanks for keeping us entertained
Who is this Lundberg you are talking about? Is it Ljungberg? 😅😂🤣🤷♂️🤦♂️
Effing Mike Riley (d ref) ended the invincibles. In his last 7 games for united prior the game he awarded them with penalties on each game. Your guess is right, he gave them a penalty against Arsenal. Rio should be sent off, like wise Ruud van and Gary. Ohhh pissed!!
Referees and diving was how he did it lads
Not Ferguson but the referees did
These analyses show how poor and limited both the fitness and tactics where at the time
This is the 2000s, you're making it sound like the 70s
@@matheus5230 a lot changed in 20 yrs. Like a huge amount
@@colouredIncognito But 2000s football was already very modern and good. Mid to late 90s also hold up very well
@@matheus5230 it really doesn't. Tactics are extremely one dimensional, static and no pressing of any kind. On top of lacking physical knowledge
@@colouredIncognito I am seriously doubting that you watched 2000s or 90s games. No pressing? Are you kidding? I recently watched Brazil vs. Holland in 98 World Cup and the second half and extra time were a truly amazing and thrilling game, pure spectacle. There were lots of pressing. Even late 80s games had some decent pressing, just not in the opposition's defenders and goalkeeper (which would be pointless back then anyway because the goalkeeper could grab the ball with his hands anytime that he wanted to stop any pressing). I refuse to call the 2000s outdated when the greatest team ever, the technical pinacle of football, was Guardiola's Barcelona 2008-2012.
Are you South African
Ferguson ended the invincibles by maximum referee assistance the penalty against arsenal and Campbell was absolutely fake. The referee was bias from minute one. Ferguson serviced on referee help in most of games
LOL!!!how about - THE REF was USELESS AF?! Worst reffed game in the history of EPL - at least 2 red cards should have been given to united not to mention the penalty dive by Rooney. This game was a disgrace - Ferguson’s game plan was to physically hurt arsenal players and try have them react as the ref did sweet stuff all - why waste time trying to talk tactics?! Let’s see the fouls on Reyes, Freddie etc... the high stud rake by VN - please
By buying the referees?
No need to explain the tactical. Obviously it was ended by the referee.
Arsenal would have win if it wasn't for the referee
Ferdinand should have been sent off
He owned the refs. That’s how. Save yourself 10 minutes 😒
By paying the ref off course
Mike Riley end it. Not ManU.
