2019/20 Carlo Ancelotti

Key is to have a player in that system who can drop deep to pick up the ball...turn and run forward + ping passes around.

Gbamin and Gomes may be able to do this...


I really hope we get Tonali from Brescia in Jan. He's already a class player and will be a world class midfielder if he gets into the right team and with the right manager.

If we can get him then i think we will be looking at ending the season a lot higher up the table than we are now...and im not talking 8th.

It's defo an Ancelotti solution.

Even so, we have to have a CM who can pass short and get box to box, joining in with attacks.

Needs to play a weakened team vs City to rest for the cup game 4 days later. Suits everyone.

Not that City will need a hand to win.

Why does he always mention Baines and Coleman haha

WHAT? I would love it if we beat them in the cup game, just love it. But the league results are more important at the moment.

Says it all. Full control vs a defensive team that had zero shots on target. Well done!

Italian deep playmaker loves adventurous long ball. You’d be surprise.

Who’s on blowie duty tonight then

I'm all for it if you have attackers up top capable of timing a run beyond the defence....

Carlo fantastico!

Aye, I don't know what some people were watching. We were so comfortable, and just had our usual problems in front of goal. But I didn't feel on the verge of taking up smoking and even when we scored the goal I expected us to close it out easily.

I only smoked one packet of cigs watching this game instead of the usual three!!!

Everyone from Burnley is an incest loving nonce.

I had 1 at half time...definitely a major change there

There was huge pressure on him for us to get a result today. So the perfect start. On to Newcastle with confidence. COYB.

First time I've felt an Everton manager do something tactically clver since Martinez put lukaku on the wing.

The formation got the best out of Bernard, sidibe and Coleman, and meant we found more space than usual.
