2019/20 Carlo Ancelotti

[Gwladysstreetlad]

If you can honestly look at our team, look back at all the terrible results, capitulations and humiliations that we've suffered in recent years because of them, look at all the different manager with different styles that have been sacked because of them and still blame Anchelotti for yesterday's result, then I can't even be annoyed with you because clearly you shouldn't be on the internet without your carer typing for you.

Carlo will give us until Jan, end of next season at a push and if he hasn’t been given the players, numerous European teams will come and offer him European football.
This is the first manager we’ve had in a while who holds all the cards.
Brands will be under pressure, and rightly so, to step up and give him what he needs.

Whilst all this is true, we need a manager that takes ownership of the results and I think Ancelotti is the man to do that here. I know it's really difficult to polish a turd, but until he gets who he wants in, he needs to keep polishing and get the balance between trying to compete up front and out defence not being like butter under a hot knife.

Really difficult job. Needs to draw on all his experience over the next couple of months.

Ironically that’s actually the best thing on the KFC menu.

Surely a Tower Burger?

Zinger Tower box meal, with gravy as a side.

Not about the unnecessary hash brown, can’t beat a good old bit of original recipe skin.

Not true.

If Ancelotti was such hot property, everyone would have been all over him after his stint with Bayern Munich. He could only attract Napoli.

And then when he gets sacked at Napoli, not even Arsenal were interested in him and he ended up here because we waved the Premier League money in his face.

Don’t get me wrong: Carlo is still a very good manager. But he ISN’T the manager he was once (see Jose Mourinho).

The hash brown is the best thing about it, it’s what sets it apart from the other burgers.

Swap the gravy for beans

Ancelotti must be given time, and it is far too early to conclude. So far, the results have been slightly above expectations. However, what worries me most about Ancelotti is his lack of a clear playing philosophy. Guerdiola, Klopp, Rodgers, Lampard, Wilder, Santo all have a clear philosophy, while Ancelotti has adapted his philosophy to the player material more or less throughout his career. It works fine in a big club with star players, but in a club where you have neither player material nor the resources to compete with the best, you have to think differently. That is why I am worried about future developments.

Silva had a clear philosophy (4231) and stubbornly stuck to it, and that worked out well.

Ancelotti has to work with what he's got for the moment, and he is doing that quite effectively. His problem is not a lack of a clear philosophy, it's a lack of quality / in-form players.

Can't criticise him other than him constantly picking Sigurdsson. How can you pick a player that puts you at a disadvantage?

4-2-3-1 is not a philosophy, but a formation. Silva is a relatively pragmatic coach. Ancelotti has done well, can't argue against it. The question is where we stand in March next year, and it will be interesting to see where we stand compared to Arsenal. Arsenal who, unlike us, went for system football, and who have started to implement the principles already.

Hes clearly giving everybody a chance before the end of the season, its the long game.

Hes seeing who works and who doesnt, its ok saying he should this and that, but hes learning.

Point taken. But when you are not willing to change a formation, despite all its obvious shortcomings, then you have to question if the formation had become inseparable from his football philosophy.

I like Carlo and he's certainly got experience. Has worked in the top leagues in Europe so you would think he knows where the players are that Everton need and he must have the contacts. The summer transfer window will show something about him. BUT - I have one criticism. I just wish he would come over as looking a bit ruthless in his mannerism.
