He's been here for 1 season so not sure how he's meant to have proved that. That aside, you're wrong - Luke Shaw was outstanding at CB this season. Bruno played well multiple times on the right.
Erik ten Hag has shown that he can coach players to adapt to change and develop them whilst being under financial constraints at Ajax. Players like Frenkie de Jong became first team regulars under him at the age of 20. Overmars brought in a DM like Alvarez who wasn't great technically but EtH improved him and made it work. And the way he switched strategy after losing De Jong and Schone and making up the short fall by progressing play via the fullbacks, CBs and GK. And Luke Shaw in the season just gone is another example of his ability to coach at the highest level.
Guardiola's blueprint is a Dutch concept that was brought to him by Cruyff via Michels.
Take a look at the situation with ETH and Antony. Antony was literally the player in ETH's team at Ajax but struggled at Utd in the first season.
I like Eth and what he has done , but he cant be compared (yet) with Pep in that regard. In Pep's team, people generally blend into the team.
