Gary Neville compared Pep Guardiola to Alex Ferguson.


Pep Guardiola has the same mentality as Sir Alex Ferguson and Kenny Dalglish. They are great coaches and individuals who can be cocky at times. Sometimes it`s hard for them when things don`t go exactly the way they want and they get criticized.


I said on Thursday when commentating on the Man City-Tottenham (4-2) match prediction by soccer picks record that I think sometimes these great managers get tired of winning the same way. They like to try different things to prove themselves again, which means changing their vision of the game.


I`ve seen it with Sir Alex Ferguson and others. This comes with good intentions, but they can be difficult to deal with and can be irritable. This is exactly what I think is happening with Pep now.


He knows there will be a struggle in the second half of the season. I really think City need consistency. Arsenal have seven men who have played in every match, while City have a back four that rotates every week.


Sometimes it`s due to injury, but there`s a lot of other things going on. They are in a real race for the title. They have participated in them before and achieved success, but now they are far behind.


They could go eight points behind if Arsenal win, but they would still have to play them twice.


I say Arsenal won`t win the Premier League because they haven`t won it for 20 years and most of these players don`t know what it`s like. They need to prove that they can get through the second half of the season, that they can win the league, " the ex-Man United defender said on his podcast.
