2019/20 Carlo Ancelotti

[Steve Wigan]

That's how to manage a game from the dug out.

 

[GwladysBlue]

So 10/15 points for Ancelotti and 6/15 points for Arteta. But Ancelotti isn’t the man for us and Arteta is the next coming of Christ.

 

[mkrudden]

has to buy a playmaker (number 10) as soon as possible.

Not for me. Playing with a number 10 means playing 4-2-3-1 or some variation.

I'd like to see 442 or 433.

He's doing a job though.

Can't blame him for a crap game. Just doesn't have the team.

Football too slow in the first half, over play at the back and at the final third.

90% of our Attack ends up with crosses.

These are 2 main reasons why Silva failed and today we saw plenty.

Let’s hope these were down to injuries and not a tactical choice.

Your right with the slow build up this is something Carlo has been frustrated with. I think we do have to be optimistic with what he can do middle of season and with some key players missing. The signs are good so far we have a manager who can manage game throughout.

It’s because we have a bunch of slow cowards who don’t show for the ball in midfield or when they do they pass it straight back instead of turning with it, doubt we’ll see truly easy on the eye football til he gets a few of his own players in or Gomes and Gbamin are back

He's doing brilliant getting a tune out of that shower of keek.

 

[Gerbs]

If he wants to continue to dominate possession from the back it is absolutely vital to improve this midfield. Otherwise it’s pointless just to lose possession deep or give it to Pickford to blast into the stands.

 

[captainvindaloo]

Right now it's akin to Eric Clapton playing a one stringed banjo.

Yep agreed. Holgate guilty of that today, not using the space to bring the ball out frequently enough. When he did, we were in their half and played ok footy.

Crying out for Gomes.

Makes you wonder what the man could do with another in-form striker, a center mid pairing and another reliable CB.

The man knows what he's doing, and we're lucky to have him.

Nails it. Getting the best out of the absolute diarrhoea he has to work with.

Handing him the moniker 'slow hand Carlo' might raise his eyebrows even more.

Indeed mate.
