2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[riddick]

We don’t dominate the ball, we don’t press high, we can’t counter attack.
A collection of individuals that rely on DCL getting on to a cross, or a rare moment of magic from Richi/Gylfi/James.

We stand off players right outside our box too for that matter.

 

[Lanolin]

People need to decide if they want results or attacking football because with these players you can't have both.

We are effective when we park the bus. We are a shambles when we tweak the system to be aggressive. Carlo needs to stop pandering to those demanding free flowing football and stick to his instincts which are that these players are unreliable and things need to be very simple for them.

He’s definitely not pandering to any demands for free flowing football mate, have you seen us?!

We have an Italian manager so we don't press whatsoever.

He needs to stop taking tactics advice from his friends.

We are very bad at creating stuff.

We haven’t dominated a team properly in almost two years. Which says it all about this current squad.

He doesn't get too bothered when we win and does the same when we lose. I suggest we do the same

 

[Zatara]

Right back
Centre mid
Wide right

3 top players in the summer and we'll look a different team.

As he said after the game, were effective when we sit back with 'the wall' but little else.

So weird how we we're "effective" before the wall was brought in and scored for fun.

We lost a lot of momentum with Richarlisons red, injuries and lack of right back or quality depth in midfield.

An issue with recruitment, yes.

But... you're not telling me Newcastle, West Ham, Fulham, Brighton etc have better attackers than us, mate.

We don't have an attacking structure that allows us to create chances. If you have that structure in place, then it means you don't have to rely on one or two players to create.

I'd argue they haveplayers with better end products/threat. Saint Maximan, Antonio, Lookman, Maupay, for example are major threats for the teams. Bar Dom, James, and Richy, there's not one side in the league that would see anyone else as a threat for us.

I'd also gladly swap your Bernards etc for anyone mentioned above.
