Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira should not be compared to former boss Frank De Boer.
That is the opinion of experienced midfielder James McArthur, who believes that Vieira is showing his quality to the players on the training pitch.
Palace are winless after three matches, while they only have two points to show for their efforts.
Vieira took over from Roy Hodgson in the summer, but MacArthur thinks comparison to De Boer, who was sacked after four losses and no goals scored, are wide off the mark.
McArthur said, per the Evening Standard: "I wouldn't compare them one bit, to be honest.
"I wouldn't like to speak about any other manager, but the manager now who has come in has brought a real energy, a real drive, a real winning mentality, the knowledge of football, an understanding of tactics and how to play everyone; it's second to none.
"He obviously played at a top, top level and you can see that in the way he wants us to play.
"It's been very high intensity in training - demands a lot from you. If we keep demanding that and keep working hard, we will be stronger on a Saturday."
"That's part of football; that's the way it goes," he said of players who left Palace in the summer.
"I have been around long enough to understand that. To see some friends leave, obviously, it was hard to see them go, but at the same time, it's a new chapter.
"We move on and we bring these younger lads in and try, as an experienced player, to help them grow and make the club stronger."
