VIDEO: Thierry Henry comes of age with first-hand and downright riveting analysis of Pep Guardiola

Gary who?

Who needs Gary Neville?

Monday Night Football is in good hands if Thierry Henry can maintain this sort of form.

The French legend hasn’t enjoyed the most successful of starts at Sky Sports with some of his opinions and even tones dividing the audience.

He barely missed out on relegation from our end-of-season pundits table for the last campaign.

And, in the wake of Gary Neville’s departure from our Monday night lives, there’s been a gaping hole for someone to come fill and Thierry Henry – yes, him – is staking a claim.

The former Arsenal and Barcelona attacker used his first-hand experience to dissect the most-discussed manager of the last week (and next six months).

Pep Guardiola’s methods have always intrigued the football world – like them or hate them – and Henry does a bang-up job of walking the viewers through what the next potential United, City, Chelsea or Leicester manager expects from his teams.

And how he does it.

Brilliant stuff.
