2019/20 Carlo Ancelotti

[catcherintherye]

He seems to be able to squeeze a little bit extra out of the players, throwing up the kind of 'lucky general' results that always elude less inspiring managers (Silva, Moyes, etc.).

I really do hope that he's given some quality to work with in the summer.

He's a tactically the best manager I've seen at Everton. Part of the issue thus far is the players lack the ability, but more so the mentality to really garner what he is trying to do. Against Newcastle it was most evident, we didn't shut the game down properly. You can only hope, with more time with him and more importantly as we get better players in then this advantage will be better utilised yet.

I thought his substitution of Keane on Saturday was excellent. Watford went longer and he came on and stabilised us really we..

Game management was a lot better against Watford for the last few minutes, but it was without Delph!

I think Delph has let himself down enormously there. He need to do a lot better for me.

Love how Carlo is understated yet still commands respect. He’s the anti-Klopp in that regard and I’ve got so much time for that

 

[YoboCopter]

From all accounts hes very modest and un assuming isnt he

wonder if he has a temper? Dont think he rules With a iron fist

 

[Loz]

We’ve had some good managers in our history, including two great ones who were given the time and resources to build world class sides,
If Ancelotti is given the time and financial backing that is required in this day and age then he could well join Messrs Catterick and Kendall.

A proper manager. We've gone from a fumbling kid in management terms to a successful elder statesman, a godfather.

He definitely has a temper but you won't hear about it, he protects his players from 'outside noise' everything will be dealt with in house. we won't see him spitting feathers but the players will. That's the impression I get.

He said in his book he does get angry, but it'll only last a couple of minutes. Usually a couple of minutes ranting in Italian, throw something. Then he'll have a tab and deal with it like a grown up.

A lot of it is probably them actually believing him when he tells them what to do.

Yeah, I think that belief in the manager has to play a huge part. Under Silva, they would have collapsed after Delph's sending off.

At the same time, the Keane sub is the kind of move that could so easily backfire on a less lucky general (how many times did we lament Moyes's inviting of pressure with a negative change?). However, much like how we've talked about the players being more motivated to play for Ancelotti, us fans are also more inclined towards seeing this as a direct response to Watford pumping long balls at Deeney, rather than just a hopeful flooding of the box with bodies. Another example is how I happily presume that he'll never throw Niasse on while defending a lead again, because he'll have seen how his inability to control the ball resulted in Newcastle being able to move up the pitch without fear of being caught out. If Silva had done that, I'd have held it over his head for months.

That may read as me being cynical or even critical, but it's honestly not. You only have to look across the park to see how galvanising it can be to have a unifying presence in the dugout.

I will not forgive this club if we don’t back this genius, and calling him that isn’t an overstatement.

We’ve backed, Large Undies 1 & 2 and silva so I expect I won’t be left fuming....

He's nice to your face but if you overstep the mark he'll have you whacked, Godfather style.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

This says all that needs to be said. The Premier League table since Carlo has been in charge of us and this is before he has even started rebuilding the squad he inherited.

The man is basically a god amongst Managers and is the Manager of Everton. How effing boss is that.

Or you could read this as he is slightly better than Hassenhutl or Pearson. I dont for a moment think that to be true, but just sayin' like...
