Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea can rejoice. Because without Pep Guardiola, Man City have lost their aura, fear factor, their reason for being. They are reduced with Enzo Maresca on the touchline where a genius once stood

Daily Mail columnist Oliver Holt argues that Manchester City have lost their intimidating presence and identity following the departure of Pep Guardiola, drawing a parallel with Jurgen Klopp's observation that you don't appreciate something until it's gone. Holt suggests that rivals Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea can take heart from City's diminished threat under new manager Enzo Maresca. The piece contrasts Maresca's tenure unfavourably with the Guardiola era, framing City's decline as a significant shift in the Premier League's competitive landscape.
