Manchester City fan and music icon Noel Gallagher has discussed Arsenal under Mikel Arteta and believes they will become more like City in the future.
The Gunners made Arteta their boss at the end of 2019 after he had spent his post-playing career working as an assistant manager for Pep Guardiola at the Etihad.
Pep is widely regarded as the best manager in the world and his team has dominated the Premier League for several seasons.
Arteta was a key member of his backroom staff and they were reluctant to allow him to leave.
He left City and has been doing a great job at the Emirates, where his Arsenal team is the most in-form English team this season.
They have won nine of ten games this term and it is not hard to see the influence of Pep in Arteta’s managerial style.
Gallagher told Pub Talk podcast on YouTube:
“He’s been taught off the best. It isn’t any wonder. Arsenal will become like City if they run the club right.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Arsenal and City play a similar game and this comparison is not out of place if you watch both clubs closely.
We have been one of the finest teams to watch this season and Arteta is using some of the things he learnt from his former boss to lead us.

Abu Dhabi chiefs intentions came to fruition after Abrahamovic tried the same thing using Mourinho to disrupt Our reigns by snatching the next key Players that might take Arsenal FC to the next level then, Starting with Ashley Cole, While City Started with Adebayo.
I agreed with you M.A might have learnt some few things along the line. But it is Wengerball that M.A refined now and graduated to Atertaball. Don’t forget M.A did His Coachings (Both Training and Badges) @ London Colney under able supervision of Great Arsene Wenger. It is not News that Pep made attempt to play for Arsenal FC and learn some things from Wenger because he is being captivated by Wengerball being displayed by Wenger boys then. But there’s not a space for him then. He later did one of His Badges @ Highbury.and copy Wengerball to Camp Nou where he renamed it Tiki Taka. But they are different. Tiki-taka is Possession based Football while Wengerball is a Positional Passing Football with Players passing football to spaces spotted with a telepathic understanding that other team mate in transition has spotted the same space whereby by the Time he passed Ball other team mate has left his maker, advanced and connect with the Ball in transition. With Wengerball Opposition will just be running after Arsenal Players or be fouling them. Wengerball used Zonal Marking to great effect to regain Ball quickly almost immediately they lost possession..
In Summary Pep uses M.A’s Knowledge of Wengerball, Experience of Premier League and English football to establish himself @ The Etihad not The other way round.
