I actually think Silva was good at setting teams up, but they just had no flexibility on the pitch. We often looked really good first half, but if a goal went in, or it didn't go our way, we would go to pieces in the 2nd half. I suspect that they didn't really trust the manager. Some rumours that he wouldn't shout at half time etc.
We look much calmer under Ancelotti. I mean the shape is very good but it stays very good through the game. I think they believe in what he does. The last 2 games, in honesty we got better as the game went on. At times we were under the cosh, but nobody panicked. We just kept going. That says a lot for the manager and players. We are also playing a system that helps a lot of the players, which is good as well.
We are fortunate to have a manager like him, and in truth he seems to be really relishing working with younger players, which is a big plus, as our previous manager, you never really got that sense. I'm really pleased for Holgate, but also Keane.
