A correction: Kulusevski's natural position is CAM. He has adapted to Right Wing Forward, Right Wing, and Right Wing Back (For Conte) but has himself been quoted to say that CAM is his natural position and where he feels most comfortable.

[@Benziiish]

You're being really harsh towards Ange man. To be able to get a draw away against City, without any of your centerbacks (Romero and Van de ven) or your main playmaker and DM (Maddison and Sarr) and main main subs (Solomon, Dier, Bentancur, Perisic) is insane. Especially considering City had all of their players available except for De Bruyne. Ange deserved an 8 or 9 out of 10 for that performance.

[@iniewilla2343]

If spurs were to have their first team squad like city did, spurs could have won the match and it will be a different scenario… a draw with a team that has Emerson royal as a centre back and you are happy about it ? Come on we know what spurs is capable of

[@Dave.T.-eh9qh]

I 100% agree. A rating of the manager should reflect how they are able to adapt and manage the game with the tools available. Man city should have won with the players they had available, while Ange has enough players out to almost start a starting 11 better than the players he has a available. The fact that Ange was able to adapt the squad especially in the second half to counter man cities style is extremely impressive given that he had such a lack of depth. What tactical decisions did pep make that make him deserve a higher rating over Ange's? Ange adapted with the change to a double pivot. how many managers do you know that can have a possession advantage o ver city? there was a 20 minute period in the second half where Tottenham had 75% of the possession.

[@RandothDrusky]

The Cojones to got the ethad and play a high line like that takes some real guts .Man City should have finished their chances they real miss KDB

[@Nico_corleone876]

Make a video on Inter vs Napoli earlier today. Inzaghi is cooking this season

[@thabisosamsam6779]

My only criticism is that we want more analysis from this channel Inter vs Napoli was a banger surely you have to look at it and Liverpool v Fulham another classic literally ended 4-3 Atleti v Barca another good game. Come on @footballmadesimple ❤

[@paganizertube]

I love how spurs are playing under Ange. It has to be the most entertaining of all teams in the PRL. Wish more teams dared to play like that.

[@kinlyfeld1008]

Two of the turnovers by Spurs were from Bissouma and not Emerson Royal. though Royal looked out of sorts in the build up and always looked nervy every time the received the ball

[@FootballMadeSimple]

Yeah my bad, I tried to correct it on the portion just below the image if you notice

[@stellarsjay1773]

Emi did look like a deer in the headlights when Vicario passed to him 😂 But Ange is still preferring him to Dier! One thing about Kulu that pundits are now mentioning is his strength! He can muscle opponents out of the way.

[@pauljohnware]

@@stellarsjay1773 For all his deficiencies (and there are enough that he looks awfully out of place in a top half team), Emerson can at least get his foot in and he can chase his man down. Dier has the turning circle of an aircraft carrier, the mobility of one too, and appears to have developed an allergy to trying to take the ball off the opposition - not at all suited to this system.

[@ariashafaee9090]

Very good and explanation completely❤

[@tentoricalj-dog1761]

Great video again. I would like to see if you could also rate some of the players, as some players like Haaland and Bissouma really dragged their teams down, I don' t think you can blame City that much on the tactical side as they played better and missed a couple big chances vs. Spurs scoring off of half chances.

[@barrymccociner4105]

He said City created more chances and had shaky keeping from Ederson in the first 30 seconds of the video

[@alexanderomucheyi1857]

Bissouma can be forgiven. Since City knew he was spurs pivot they pressed him harder.

[@heroyt2490]

Always welcome ❤🎉🎉

[@incognitoburrito8803]

I’d love to see an analysis between villa and city. A dive in emerys tactics would be super interesting

I don't think ederson did anything wrong the goals he conceded I don't think if he could have done anything to stop them

[@acemagic94]

Madison, Micky, Romero, Bentacour, Saar out.. with no CB. Solomon, Peri, Sesse, Whitman, Dier.. Richardon recovering. It’s a big win for Spurs to get a point away

[@CoolClipz]

Make videos on Brighton and villa against the big 6

[@Initials_]

Ederson never runs out of ideas when it comes to being useless, his shot-stopping is horrible.

[@pbsuite]

He's not special , just maybe on the ball

[@yoshuareynaldo2295]

"Doing everything in their power in order to avoid going long" 😂😂 Yeah, that's AngeBall alright. 45% possession against City and out-possessing Arsenal in THEIR TURF. You have Pep and De Zerbi who isn't exactly right on the head and there's Ange. I love the 'die standing' philosophy he has though. I'm not as upset as before when we lost a match. At least we could say we gave it all every match.

[@BIazy]

Please make Serie A analysis especially Inter we are amazing this season

[@SimianEncounter]

Gluelusevski man 🔥🔥🔥

[@wishvakrish3583]

Chelsea game is enough to describe ange He is a rare gem in football

[@ranwei3622]

Without Gundoan, Debryune and Stones, looks like city fears pressing. Spurs had opportunities to attack city’s final 1/4 continuously.

[@akwilson1676]

That's like the backbone of the team. Their roles are too specific to be replaced. As good as Akanji and Alvarez are, they just aren't made to play in those positions. Akanji especially looks so lost playing in the midfield.

[@wefinishthisnow3883]

City were pressing fairly well. Stones doesn't start over Rodri and City still pressed when Gundogan wasn't available. KDB as one of the GOAT's is the only player City are really missing. In full context, I didn't see Spurs making the same excuses for pressing as they were missing all their center backs (VDV, Romero, even their U21 backup Phillips!), all their starting midfielders (Bentancur, Sarr, Maddison), four of their wingers (Solomon, Perisic, Sessegnon, surgery-returning time-limited Richarlison). With Udogie and Bissouma holding back after their recent suspensions, only the goalkeeper (Vicario), right-back (Porro), striker (Son) and one midfield/winger (Kulusevski) have been fully available starters.

[@ranwei3622]

I mean they fear opponent’s pressing and start to give out possession in dangerous area.@@wefinishthisnow3883

[@tonyde6423]

Bit harsh spurs away took on the game pressing when everyone was talking a slaughtering calling an idiot for his game plan cheers

[@junyank1846]

Fair score for both managers

[@mubarakyusuf7310]

Why city conceded the goals ? Analyze it Ederson at fault - should have saved two goals . Akanji advanced role leaving huge gap in the back line . Poor midfield cover

[@FrederickTechieGuggisberg]

I love Ange

[@loop808]

City's defending is extremely poor this season and waste a lot of chances Infront of goals 😐

[@wefinishthisnow3883]

There's a lot more attacking teams this season in the EPL. Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, Newcastle, Brighton, Chelsea (under Poch), Aston Villa, West Ham and to some extent Wolves as well. This brings a lot more risk to the defenders when you play a higher line and press hard. Spurs under Ange Postecoglou are a different beast though. They're the most attacking team in the league and have never failed to score a goal against any team this season and that includes both Arsenal and Man City away from home, in spite of missing 9 of their key players.

[@antonheidenreich7053]

Yeah they are in Chrisis 😢😢

[@matthewnicholas6365]

Lol at marking Spurs down for not being at their best. No CB's, no Maddison, no options from the bench but went toe to toe and got a point

[@skim7221]

davis did well against haaland but i dont like his body language when he throws his arms up in the air when we concede a goal or even a chance to suggest its someone else's fault. just like all the pointing that maguire and dier does all the time, that body language irritates me

[@jorgefernandez8728]

How can explain in tactics missing easily 6 chances that any day you scored in a total or more than 15 and go 3-1 or 4-1 vs a team that has 4 chances and 3 goals Tactics are nice but football is way more than that and the result as usual City vs Spurs was unfair but it's what you get when you re not clinical enough

Errrrrr....but he didn't.

[@F-Tier_Physique]

Unlucky reffing at the end cost city 3 points, but city probably shouldve killed the match way earlier. If it wasnt for that ref decision on that chance id say Spurs' efficiency made the 3-3 score fair.

[@bartekb47]

City should’ve killed the game in the first half. I don’t really think that Grealish would’ve scored from that, he’s not the fastest player, Royal probably would’ve caught him, but yeah. Absolutely braindead decision from the ref

[@FootballMadeSimple]

I've given up on Premier league refs. Could spend 5 minutes discussing them every video

[@see_horse]

I sadly was on night shift, and only caught the replay thus far - but I thought he played advantage, but then had to blow the whistle, because Grealish, steaming onto the ball, was in an offside position? Angle on the replay wasn't the greatest admittedly?

[@animalkingdom867]

Congratulations arsenal for winning the league 23/24. We are playing like shit,and honestly i dont see us taking 3 points against villa in midweek. Its done for us.

Here's my take.⚽ 🤨Football is a game of both tactics and moments. If the shots from Doku and Alvarez had gone in and not hit the woodwork, would you have made the same video?? 🤔🧐 P.S. I do appreciate tactics vids but sometimes I feel like they do overstate certain contexts in football.⚽ 🧐🤔

[@TooDarnSoulful]

He can only report on what played out, you can talk about if buts and maybe's all day, but that is not the point.

[@sigfigronath]

same with arsenal, easily could have scored 5 goals, like they had more XG than Lens game. But since they only had 2 goals, it had a nervy ending

[@FootballMadeSimple]

The game would have played out differently if they did so probably not? Still gave pep a higher rating and said city deserved the win
