Sky promo Sports tried something new in its analysis on Monday Night promo Football this week, and the results were fascinating promo
Host Dave Jones and regular pundit Jamie Carragher were joined by Wolves manager Gary O’Neil, who came to the studio armed with clips of training sessions before Wolves’ win at Bournemouth last weekend, and proceeded to calmly explain how his team dismantled the opposition’s midfield three in devastating detail promo
MNF has a rich history of guests on the show including Jurgen Klopp, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney and Mauricio Pochettino promo
O’Neil – a solid if unspectacular Premier League midfielder in his second managerial job – may not have been near the top of many viewers’ wishlists promo
But the way he explained his idea for beating Bournemouth, and then showed clips of that exact plan coming to fruition in a Premier League match – “I could show about 15 of these instances in the game,” he said – went far beyond any analysis we’d seen before promo
It added a little spice that O’Neil was demonstrating how to beat Bournemouth, the club who sacked him in June, even after he had kept them in the Premier League against the odds promo
O’Neil said he wasn’t bitter about that, just as he humbly insisted his players should get all the credit for Wolves’ win promo
But watching his masterplan play out, you were left with the impression of an intelligent, thoughtful manager with the skill to outsmart his rivals promo
This was no doubt part of the appeal of appearing on the programme: a platform for O’Neil to showcase himself to whoever might be listening, whether that be former employers or future ones promo
MNF is the closest thing to a manager giving a Ted Talk to the entire promo football congregation, and the response on social media revealed an audience who were rapt promo
Later he talked through Wolves’ tactics to nullify Manchester City, in a game his side surprisingly won 2-1 promo
It was like watching a magician reveal the secrets of his trick, except there were no grand gestures, just a deadpan Gary O’Neil explaining why Erling Haaland failed to score against Craig Dawson promo
Jones and Carragher asked the questions you were wondering, but ultimately these shows are only as good as their guests, and O’Neil was compelling on a range of subjects promo
He talked about himself as an “average” player who had to use his brain to keep up promo
“Central midfield seems to be a decent position to become a manager from,” he said promo
“You have to have a good understanding of the game promo
You’re involved in a lot of it promo
”He became intrigued by coaching when, at Middlesbrough, Gareth Southgate suddenly made the step up from player to manager promo
“Gareth had to switch from going for drinks with the boys to being the one who sets the highest standards every day, and it got me thinking how I would go about that promo
” Through O’Neil’s playing career, different managers gave him pieces of the coaching puzzle: Sam Allardyce always delivered a crystal clear understanding of every role, and Alex Neil brought tactical insight and energy on the training field promo
The wider show around the featured match, Tottenham v Fulham, was full of typical new-age insight, like pizza charts comparing the two teams’ key data points, which were naturally in sharp contrast promo
Then there was the entertaining post-match interview with James Maddison, with a screen wheeled in beside him to analyse some key moments of Spurs’ 2-0 win promo
Carragher’s questioning of the second goal – “why are you looking over your shoulder here?” – brought an enlightening answer from Maddison, who revealed how he pressured Fulham’s Calvin Bassey to use his weaker foot, forced an error, and then checked Bassey’s position to know he would be onside when Son Heung-min played him in to score promo
These shows reveal a few things promo
That promo football, a game which gets much of its popularity from its simplicity, is a complicated game at the elite level, played out on small margins, in precise details that bypass most of us most of the time promo
It is a useful reminder that the game is hard, and that when someone makes a mistake, like Bassey last night, they might be culpable but they might also be the victim of a targeted tactic, days in the making promo
MNF has been pioneering promo football coverage for over a decade, with Carragher and Gary Neville at the forefront of a mission to tear up the old script of disgruntled ex-players complaining about defending; to approach the game with nuance, and assume similar levels of knowledge and fascination in their viewers promo
For promo football lovers, it is one of the best shows on TV promo
The recent appearance of Brentford manager Thomas Frank was another good watch, yet this episode set a whole new standard promo
For all the recent fly-on-the-wall documentaries trying to get under promo football’s skin, this went deeper promo
Unexpectedly, Gary O’Neil opened a treasure trove of promo football’s secrets, and now we want more promo
The next MNF is on 6 November: Spurs v Chelsea promo
Come for the game, stay for the granular promo football chat promo

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers hailed his side’s “terrific performance” after a 2-2 Champions League draw with Atletico Madrid promo
Celtic twice took the lead in the first half through Kyogo Furuhashi and Luis Palma, who netted shortly after Antoine Griezmann had netted the rebound from his own penalty promo
Celtic played with pace, purpose and confidence in the first half and both goals came after excellent moves, but they could not keep up the tempo after the break and Alvaro Morata levelled eight minutes into the second half promo
Rodgers said: “I thought it was a terrific performance, especially the first 45 minutes – the quality of our promo football, the speed in our pressing and in our game, everything we would want promo
“We were unfortunate with the penalty promo
One, it was very harsh, and, two, they got the good fortune after the save hits the post and comes straight to the player promo
“But our reaction was superb, everything I wanted in terms of playing together, pressing and the intensity and a really aggressive mentality and then having the courage to play promo
“We expected them second half to have a spell in the game but they didn’t create so much promo
Their equaliser was fantastic, the early cross and great finish promo
“But we kept fighting and showed we can compete with a top-level team promo
“It will give us confidence to know we can create opportunities and play the promo football we want to play promo
The team pressed the game well and passed it for a lot of the game promo
”Rodgers, who revealed Reo Hatate had suffered a hamstring injury, which forced him off for Paulo Bernardo inside seven minutes, admitted it was difficult to maintain the intensity for 90 minutes promo
Celtic never looked like taking the lead for a third time, despite Atletico going down to 10 men in the 82nd minute promo
He added: “There’s a wee bit of tiredness that comes in the last 20 minutes because we are not used to playing at that tempo and against that level of opponent, so naturally a wee bit of fatigue kicks in promo
We also had to make an early sub with Reo’s injury promo
“It was a really big performance but we couldn’t quite get the result we were looking for promo
”Celtic are bottom of the group with one point from three games ahead of trips to Madrid and Lazio, the latter of whom have four points promo
We have shown we can perform and we go into the other three trying to get as many points as we can and see where it takes usBrendan RodgersRodgers said: “We wanted to get three points but if you can’t get the win then don’t lose it, and I don’t think we looked like losing promo
I can see development for sure promo
“We have shown we can perform and we go into the other three trying to get as many points as we can and see where it takes us promo
”Atletico manager Diego Simeone admitted his side had struggled to deal with Celtic in the first half promo
“As expected, they started really well, as they did in their first two games,” he said promo
“We really struggled to contain them early on and they scored with their first attack promo
We managed to respond but they quickly scored a fantastic goal promo
“The first half didn’t go as we would have liked but I was really pleased with the second half, it was a real Champions League performance promo
We showed a lot of personality and responsibility promo
”Simeone, who brought on Marcos Llorente and Rodrigo Riquelme at half-time, added: “In the first half we didn’t have the speed the game required, we weren’t up to scratch and they combined well in our half promo
“But the subs had a big impact and we had promo better solutions in our passing game promo
