  1. No idea who you support but very unbiased your stuff / completely unemotional.
    Less of a player rating channel which is what some lean towards inadvertently and instead just focused on tactics and what actually happened 👍.

  2. I mentioned this last time that Ten Hag is top class when it comes to in Game management. He is unpredictable especially tactical twist and subs. Regardless of who comes in, they tend to make a difference.

  3. Don't act like it was xavi's fault barca lost, man u right now has more players and more quality that generates more tactical fluidity. I don't blame xavi, he did more than any other manager could have done with this team.

  4. As a Barca fan I am not surprised by our lose to be honest this match was lost in the first leg. Having said that I saw what ten hag was doing and to me it was amazing xavi didn't see it it from right next to the pitch, his subs have always been baffling, pep really trained him cause he just as confused as pep. From the time Anthony came on I knew what ten hag was trying to get at they managed to close down rashford but forgot the other players. When Anthony came on I would have subbed on ansu soon after, but he either will learn or be sacked. Well played united

  5. Xavi played as best as he could, he lost Dembele, Pedri and Gavi for this game, while Ten Hag had more substitutes of great quality like Anthony to play with. This match at the end was decided by details but very entertaining to see

  6. If u guys ever watched Steve Mclaren's son youtube, Steve said Ten Hag ingame management was superb during their time in Twente. He could advise Steve of what would happen n what should have been done, n he would get it right. No doubt Ten Hag is smart, however we havent seen his negative side yet.

  7. As a Barca fan Ten Haag was just better than Xavi, there's a moment we were pressing High on the Left and Wan Bissaka, Fred and one or two other players were one-touch passing around it no problems
    Xavi is still a very young coach with a very young squad and I hope they both keep improving as the seasons progress
    But Ten Haag is just that guy.
    What he's done to Fredm Sancho and obviously Rashford is speechless

  8. Great anylasis football is such a tactical game but its not obvious to the untrained eye unlike rugby or American football which soley focuses on tactical plays. PPL forget it with Football as the game tends to flow more with out the stop start nature that nfl or rugby have. Thats why its harder to apply and notice that applicaton in footie. Its clear u have an understanding of the tactical changes as they are happening and do a great job pointing them out xxx

  9. Barcelona played without 3 of the most important players (Gavi, Pedri, Dembele) and always was qithin striking distance from the great Ten Hag and United.
    With those three the baldy was out.

  10. Good explanation, fair enough but quite simply Weghorst does not scare anyone so can be marked 1 v 1, Bruno wide right has never worked because he cannot dribble and is a poor passer. He creates but he loses the ball too easily; far better at 10 moving everywhere. Rashford up top means Barca cannot go man for man on him leaving a 1 v 1 because he is quick , strong and tricky. We all know AWB is a weak ball player though now he is far better. Far from managerial brilliance, Ten Haag simply corrected an initial error. This change he has made in a number of games to turn things around.

  11. Hi, I am new and I have a question,

    1.Do you think the first half tactics were deliberate by EtH, to see Barca's plans?or
    2. do you think he got it wrong in the first half and fixed it at half time?
