[@headshotE10]

@YBAX Snake ?? Your a weird guy

[@adolfBBC]

The biggest takeaway for me was their answers pep said "belief" arteta said "consistency" it shows what stages their teams are at. Mikel needs consistency to build a culture and a mentality. Pep has already done it with his team and they now just need to believe that they can do it again and again. Both excellent but pep is a crafty man in the premier league. Best of all time.

[@vaibhavbhatia4641]

Good take.

[@seven92023]

It's actually the opposite. City need consistency to keep winning and staying on the top, while Arsenal need belief that they can win to get to the top like City.

[@adolfBBC]

@@seven92023 I think you can argue both ways. I was looking at it in the way I believe pep was trying to explain it. He wants his players to believe they can do it at a high level constantly after the highs and lows with many of the winners running on tired legs and possibly tired mentals. Whereas arteta is just trying to drum home the fact of - we're ahead we need to be consistent. I don't see arsenal taking it due to the age and a lack of depth. What you said also isn't wrong though it's all up for interpretation that was just my take.

[@kingkenzokwansa]

[@Himanshu-mb8nl]

You could make a similarly valid argument if their answers were reversed. Hence, I am a little skeptical of this take.

[@MikeC77]

They are both very inspiring characters but lets be honest, if you were a chairman of a football club and had unlimited funds to entice the best coach in world football, you go after Guardiola. Everybody else is secondary.

[@BeerLicious]

Even without Funds i see Pep winning a lot , as much as it's in the money. It's more with the work as well. Just his Name's Pep Gaurdiola & he has to win every time & has to gain success very quickly so he does have to spend, thinking current times. I'd say every manager has spent quite big. Klopp's spent Huge as well for example & with that squad , their wage bill is bigger than city's.

[@chebontoroitich7509]

We are yet to see much of Arteta though

[@shahzadirani]

@@BeerLicious Klopp has spent huge only after offloading players and spending the money from the selling of players. There’s a difference. Same with Sir Alex. He had academy players and won with them first. Revenue came in. Then he spent money that was all there thanks to the initial success without buying Big. Pep hasn’t proven himself in such a situation yet. He even went to a Treble winning Bayern team and couldn’t even get them to the UCL final in 3 years.

[@MikaelLV]

@@shahzadirani In what situation is that exactly? Can you be more specific? It's not Guardiola's fault that he has always been successful. He's never been sacked because he's never been in danger of getting sacked. What does that tell you? Do you blame him for only taking top jobs? Would you turn down Bayern, Man City and Barca to coach Wigan or Mallorca so that the world could see your true mettle? I doubt it.

[@shahzadirani]

it is up to him to decide which projects he chooses. Barcelona as his first full time job I understand (boyhood club + like you said anyone would jump at it). There though - yes he took Cruyff’s principles and brought back total football BUT a lot of fans get carried away thinking that style was unbeatable. Football is about winning right? And that total football style was beatable as shown by Chelsea in the 2009 semis and Inter 2010 semis. But the referees helped Barcelona through in 2009 and 2011. So people saying Pep won and won a treble stylishly don’t mention the context that Without that Huge help from the officials, there is no Treble for Pep in the first place in 2009 and no shot of getting thru vs Arsenal in 2011 when Arsenal were leading the tie with 40 minutes to go. Secondly, people argue he already has 30 trophies in 15 years. But mate, out of those 30, again see the context: 3 Bundesliga easy titles which even Niko Kovac won as manager of Bayern. Couldn’t get Bayern to a UCL final. The DFB Pokal and Copa Del Rey are also cups that usually Barcelona/Madrid or Bayern win in their respective countries. At City, I will give him credit for winning 4 premier league titles (even though he didn’t adapt his tactics and just used the same style. Realized his tactics were not working with Zabaleta Kolarov etc so he bought an entire new backline). While that’s fine, think about how Sir Alex, and Klopp have brought out the best from players like Anderson Cleverly Welbeck Jones Smalling; Henderson Wijnaldum Matip Gomez Schmelzer Gotze Lewandowski at Dortmund. And the list goes on. Pep may fine tune a player but he’s never made someone average look world class. I’m not including Scholes Giggs Xavi Iniesta in this list because they already had high ceilings from their academy days. While Pep has been great, he’s not had a situation like a Klopp at Dortmund or Liverpool, Sir Alex at Aberdeen and United, Jose at Porto or Inter where these 3 managers instilled in these teams to win for years to come. For Barcelona, while Pep made a few tough calls like selling Deco and Ronaldinho, you have to remember he still inherited a squad that comprised of Puyol Eto’o Xavi Valdes Iniesta Marquez (6-7 of these players were in a UCL semi final few months before he took over and had won the UCL just 2 years ago in 2006; that’s not a club in decline like United that hadn’t won the big trophies in 20 years or a Liverpool that hadn’t won the league in 30 years or a Chelsea that went from top4 to big timers only after Jose.

[@Nasengold]

I like how Pep analyzes failure as his destiny. That's a very intelligent statement.

[@paudiyal]

We are in a very good position to win the league and I hope we do it. Been waiting a long time. But when Arsenal play Man City, no matter the result, would love to see Pep clapping at full time smiling at Arteta. Would be some sight that and the kind of football Arsenal is playing right now, it is quite possible.
