Manchester City took a huge step in the Premier League title race by beating Arsenal 4-1. And it was a perfect display of the tactics Pep has been working on all season; using Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne to exploit space quickly.
Today I explain the main principle behind Pep’s shifting approach, and why it allows them to retain control against any opposition.

    Pep just "gamed" football backwards. From artistic tikitaka ( a beautful way of chance creation) to geggenpressing(a less aesthetic way to chance creation) to long ball striker ( the most naive way to attack). He has completed football.

    This current City team is the most tactically advanced football team of all time. Closest thing we'll ever get to Cruyff's philosophy. Bernardo plays left back, Stones plays DM, Ake and Ikanji plays wing backs. Crazy. Prime Barca was more flexible, attractive on the eye and had better talented technically gifted players who controlled the ball like nothing I've ever seen but they were no way near this tactically advanced than this current City team. Pep is far better than his former self. (barca 09/11)

    Barca had the best player of all time that covered up the tactical limits of Guardiola's Barca back then, which was a lack of product in certain cases. They just couldn't score goals when the opponent let them make the play. But Messi could dribble 3 guys and score. This City team is a well-oiled machine. You can take out Haaland, you can take out KDB, you can take out any player and the system is still running. Maybe not at 100% but 95%. This year is his best chance to win the CL again. I've never seen such a dominant team. Barca had problems with 10 man defending back then. That's how Mourinho beat them with Inter. I don't know if this City would have those problems. They just rolled over Arsenal like it was some low tier La Liga team. Arsenal could do nothing all game and City could have scored 3 more (if Haaland made his chances). It's just crazy how good they are. Obviously, if they played directly against Barca, Barca would smash them back then. But in general, City might be more successful against multiple teams.

    Do not forget what Pep said about Napoli as well in that same interview, Spalletti's Napoli is the best example of the hybrid, posession/gegenpressing and when being pressed by the opposing team, long direct ball to Osihmen or Kvarashkelia...which is something that italian coaches/managers are master at doing since the 60s (only the last part of the long ball to the striker of course, not the posession football or the gegenpressing)....Pep really likes Spalletti it seems.....since, i know that Cruyff teached the false 9 at Barca...but it is just a fact that Spalletti was the first modern coach to succesfuly implement the false 9 in a top team (at Roma with Totti), and then not so long after that, Pep had the brilliant idea of making Messi a false 9, and repopularize the false 9 tactic to the world.

    I've arguing that Pep is footballing genius since 2010. What is more impressive is the man himself. Pep is a very sofisticated person intelligent, cultured & well groomed. This is shown in his football for a man born born from humble roots he behaves like an aristocrat & as far as fooball philosophy & tactics he is undoubtedly the king. What people don't miss about Pep is that he understands football as a system built on sound processes which is the same as an industrial engineer understands his manufacturing process, like an accountant knows his audit process its all the same & that's why he can see the future.

    No one intelligent said that it wouldn't work. The guy is not only an offensive powerhouse but is physically fit enough and intelligent enough to lead the line defensively. On offense, City only "sacrificed" a technical player in the 11 to make way for a speedy outlet, monster in the air, and clinical finisher all rolled into one. It's basic economics. You would have to be braindead to not get an intelligent, prolifically clinical Herculean athlete to not work in ANY TEAM. Stop pretending that playing with every tool available afforded by revenue from a quarter of the planet's oil reserves is difficult.

The difference is that Haaland is there now so this route is way way more effective as prior to him it seemed like just passing the hot potato more than anything.

    Great lil dip into an emerging trend for Pep. Sounds like there are elements of tactics that Lucho Enrique employed when he coached Barca to their UCL victory in 2015. Back then he'd have his CBs recycle possession to bait opponents forward, then once the did and space opened up behind that defense, Barca would be very direct, vertical even bypassing the MF at times to get the ball to MSN as quickly as possible. Coaxing the opponent out of their defensive shape is a good idea. Thr various ways how City does it is very informative to observe. Let's see how long and against whom this tactic is effective.

    IMO there was also another reason of city to not pin arsenal in their half because remember in last couple of clashes arsenal were creating more chances through counter attack because when you play more in opposite half there are more chances of losing ball (due to less passing space),but in this game city not only controled the ball more but also minimizes the counter attack from arsenal.

    Basically, over the last 2 months, Pep has been using 4 CBs as his backline instead of the standard 2 CBs and 2 FBs. The 4 CBs strategy that Pep has been using is to provide more defensive solidity and compactness. So, when City have possession, John Stones inverts and becomes an extra CDM alongside Rodri. Then, when City lose possession, Stones slots back into his CB position and now you have a back 4 and City defending in their usual 4-4-2 shape. In a nutshell, Pep has gone from using his fullback (Walker) invert and become the extra CDM to using one of his CBs (John Stones) to be the one that inverts and become the extra CDM. This is the reason for City's defensive solidity over the last few months. Pep is truly the GOAT of managers imo.

    What you said about Arsenal not taking those transition is completely true. I lost my mind screaming everytime I saw it. It's one reason I think Man Utd can do something against Man City in the FA Cup finals. Personally, I don't think Pep has been planning this. Because it took him so long to implement. More accurately, I think De Zerbi's ball was key to his change. Pep sorta admit it when he said Brighton are the best in the league when it comes to the first phase of play. I think he admitted the tactics and thought "wait, I've got a big man up front". I say this because he's doing similar if not exactly as Brighton do. But what do I know

    This is why Pep is a master manager. Why he is prob the best Manager in the last 10 years. He is always looking to change a system based from a 442. Conte kept the same system even though he didn't have the players and it being exposed. Conte then blamed the players. Pep adapts. He doesn't ask the players do things they cant. Pep adapts to the players he has and works with them he is a man manager as well as a team manager.

They played a really deep possession football, using all the defenders and also the goalkeeper in order to attract the other team into their half, only to play a direct and vertical pass towards Lukaku/Lautaro (both really good at this), the attacker gives the ball back and then there's a long ball towards either the other attacker, or the other full back (Hakimi/Perisic) or the other midfielder (usually Barella).

    This is no contradiction, city don't play vertical as in fast long balls , completely the opposite. Like they played against arsenal only works if a team pressed like arsenal which many teams won't do precisely because what happened to arsenal. The key is not possession or vertically but the organisation of the players positionally relative to the ball which makes all these passes possible without losing the ball
