An ambitious target perhaps, but Pep Guardiola has been linked with Arsenal before and is undoubtedly a world class tactician whose philosophy would perfectly fit the Arsenal way that has become custom
under Wenger — passing, technical, attacking
football based on
possession and carving teams open.
More true technical
footballers that can maintain

under Wenger disintegrated into a lot of square passes and
possession for
possession's sake.
Aside from the poor transfers over 10 years, the complete lack of tactics, one dimensional
football, being predictable, playing players out of position, playing players who should be benched, over playing players (ongoing injuries), not motivating the team, poor youth academy, bad formations set up for
under - performing players and over reliance on tikka tikka
possession football, no he hasn't done much wrong!
Not only that, the prof also praised his rival manager Claudio Ranieri and revealed that the Gunners would be trying to employ the same sort of
possession based

Keita's ability to carry

football under Klopp.
