A 433 formation was used, with De Bruyne returning from his comeback in midfield to partner Rodri and Gundogan, while B.Silva dropped to the bench. The backline remains unchanged with Jesus, Sterling and Mahrez each playing in the forward line.

Playing in a 4231 formation, with Martial up front, Rashford on the left, Bruno Fernandes in the center, James on the right, and Fred and McTominay at the back, the backline was equally solid.

A number of players surrounded the ball but Jesus tripped Martial in his haste to make a tackle and the referee awarded a penalty which Fernandes slotted home.
That goal became the turning point of the game as the

The intention was to play a defensive game, and taking the lead at the start was undoubtedly the most desirable outcome. Subsequently.

quickly went on defense, and the
Manchester City
Unprepared for this, the team was in disarray for a while and it took almost 15 minutes to gradually find a sense of control of the ball.
Manchester City
The killer move was Guardiola's tactical tweak to move right back Cancelo forward to the back to strengthen the passing pivot. This change had made

Dominating a counterattack from Rashford on the left, James on the right retreated at the outset, and the players kept their formation dense and hardly ever pulled apart during the game almost perfectly, building a wall of men around the halfway line to take advantage of the four attackers in the

McTominay on this side of the ball would immediately move into the line of scrimmage to add to it, turning the entire linebacker line into five men and not allowing the

Able to cut in easily from the side.
Manchester City
Stuck in this situation, it was going to attack a one-point lead and then fully retreat on defense
Manchester United Football Club
It would be very troublesome, but after De Bruyne came back, Guardiola's original arrangement of the formation, the three of Rodri, B.Silva and Cancelo in the waist pass, Gundigan forward to the front waist of the forward attack is very effective, but after De Bruyne came back, B.Silva returned to the bench, the middle of the steal become weaker, this time Gundagan It was not easy for Gundagan and De Bruyne to coordinate who should play.
In fact, if you maintain the original formation, perhaps the situation will be better, because Gundigan in the original formation has become the main scoring, successfully replaced De Bruyne's position, and he still belongs to the more inclined to the positional battle, De Bruyne in the speed of the offense is more powerful, and now the two men at the same time in the field, the overall running position has become a little awkward, you can feel the two men are not in the grabbing Who want to go forward, but in the teammates to go forward, but this tacit understanding is not handled well, mutual courtesy of a little more, the result of making the

This side, whether it's Maguire, Lindelof or goalie Henderson, is very focused and consistently blocks shots.
Manchester City
Jesus was poor, I don't know if he was really in poor form or affected by his own mistake in the opening half that led to the loss of points, in any case he was quite disoriented throughout the game, on the contrary, Zinchenko at the back was in good form, and a few times he came up with shots that felt threatening.

The right side of the field is designed to hit the void at right back before and after Cancelo comes on.
Things have come to a head, but Guardiola has no choice but to strengthen his right side attack as soon as possible, hoping to bring the
Manchester United Football Club
Press back, though.
Manchester United Football Club
Already experienced with this kind of counterattack, one of Rashford or Martial can rush forward regardless.
This situation began to intensify in the second half, with
Manchester City
Having to chase down the points, the result was that there was more and more space at the back, and at the 50-minute mark
Manchester United Football Club
Henderson threw the ball to the left side of the field, Luke Shaw took the ball on the left side and accelerated the ball to the front, easily shaking off Cancelo, he drove to the outside of the penalty area and gave the ball to Rashford, who was defended by two defenders and flicked the ball back to Luke Shaw, who was already in the 17-yard box and stopped the ball. Luke Shaw had already reached the 17-yard box by then, and he stopped the ball for a moment to see if he had the right shot.
