Prior to the start of this season when Manchester City announced they are bringing in Pep Guardiola, many of us were excited about the prospect of seeing the Spanish boss do his thing at England. But, as this season is coming to it end, many people wonders if Pep is really as good as we thought.
And right now, Arsenal legend Paul Merson stated that the City manager has made lots of mistakes this season, while he heaped lots of praises on Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.
Antonio Conte, despite being his first season at England and Chelsea, has enjoyed his first season in the Premier League and has helped changed Chelsea’s fortunes around.
The West London club have only lost two of their last 24 games in the premier league since the introduction of the 3-4-3 formation by Conte.
The Stamford Bridge outfit successfully won their last two games in the English top flight – a 2-1 victory against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night, with a 3-1 beating at Bournemouth at the weekend.
Chelsea currently dominates the premier league table being seven points clear of closest challengers Tottenham Hotspur, and are firm favourites to win the title this season.
On the other hand, Manchester City qre still battling to secure a place in next season’s Champions League and have been sent packing by Monaco out of this season’s Champions League competition.
The former Arsenal man Paul Merson is of the opinion that Antonio has quickly addressed issues with his blues side, while Pep has made lots of mistakes through this season.
