There are similarities between Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta, they are both sharp thinkers, they are both products of Barcelona’s La Masia, and they are both sharp dressers. But there are also some fundamental differences.
As The Athletic’s James McNicholas writes, on the face of it Guardiola and Arteta are similar, but as they both develop, will their differences develop.

I was absolutely gutted when Arteta left City. Pep can be a genius when setting up his team's, but it is the staff around him that are responsible for getting the messages across to the players, and Mikel was responsible for having a major role in improving the players such as Raheem. Wishing him the best of luck at Arsenal as he deserves it (not against City of course!)

[@hidingman3578]

I feel like it's especially clear now how important Mikel was for City. I feel that Pep is now even more prone to overthinking, as it's likely that Mikel helped him tactically too, and sometimes prevented him from trying to for overtly complicated strategies that wouldn't work in practice.

i think it is quite hard to exploit. Most goalkeepers can only physically kick the ball a certain distance. There are a few who can whack it 80+ yards with the wind behind them, but kicking a ball that sort of distance is very inaccurate and just gives possession away more often than not.

[@shaulablack1]

The football we're seeing Arsenal play is far from being what Arteta wants. I think he wants to be as attacking as City, or even more, but he's still building to that. Pep has always taken better teams or had more money. That doesn't make him less of a coach, but I think it enabled him to extract better football out of his teams more quickly.

@@milindmatang When Pep joined City, they already started wining PL beofe him. Even before him, City was already a good squad & were serious PL contenders for next seasons. Then he got unlimited budget. He literally buys every great player he likes. He tries to buys stars & mostly succeeds becoz of his unlimited budget. Some players flop, some players hit. Even when a player flops, he buys a replacement. City has so much money to spend that it's not even a fair comparison. Now when Arteta joined Arsenal, neither he inherited a good squad nor his squad was title contenders. Arsenal didn't win the PL since ages. He inherited an average squad. Also he doesn't have unlimited budget. He can't afford buying Haaland or Dias and many more. He doesn't have to luxury to waste so much money on someone like Grealish. So u can't compare 2 of them. It's not fair.

James is so insightful. Great views in the managers styles. And hes right. Eventually teams will stop pressing us cause it will expose them in the back. We have a long way to go untill we get there but the core for the future is there. That's what makes this brighter than with Unai. Teams don't fear arsenal anymore. We aren't the expansive fluid teams of before. If Troy is out here saying we are weak( and he got relegated) then theres a deeper issue. The mentalities of our "leaders" hasn't been up to par.

[@smoeellot]

Wow!! Spot on.

[@srykextraodinairecreation9962]

Good about Arteta tactic, players could change the positioning and tactical formation based on situation, without having Arteta involvement of switching tactic. He is now focusing on work ethic of his players without a ball (pressing & positioning) and play from the back as a habit (mature & calm in own box). Thats what we can see now, with Ramsdale couple of times successfully pass the ball straight to Lacazette and surpassed the opposition press. Problem now (need to be fixed) goal convertion. Auba laugh and smilling everytime he make mistake, thats not a good sign.

Pep had Barca which one of the best teams in the history of football. But still he couldn't managed to beat inter. Went to Bayern just after Bayern won the UCL. But got thrashed by Real. Next year, lost to ATM, after that he lost to Barca. His misery in UCL continues. But Arteta knows his team is not that good as other top teams. So he plays defensive against them.
