Erik ten Hag’s tactical masterpiece – the four ways he outfoxed Pep Guardiola

The Telegraph  

Here is how it unfolded. Stage one: Rodri’s loose pass The player who completed more passes into the final third than any Premier League player last season gets his radar wrong. It was a moment of sloppiness which typified City’s first-half performance, with Phil Foden also passing the ball out for a goal kick when he had time and space. File this alongside Patrick Vieira giving the ball away in the build-up to Ryan Giggs’ famous winner in the 1999 FA Cup semi-final replay, which United fans still sing about to this day. Stage two: City’s offside line breached Long balls were a feature of United’s first-half performance, and in this instance City neither dropped off to cover the run nor stepped up efficiently to catch Garnacho offside.
