2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[Osamabindiesel]

I think this lineup is a message from Carlo. He does not rate his backup options at wing one bit.

 

[Saint Domingo]

This team seems to say he doesn’t rate the goalkeeper, he has no confidence in Iwobi or Bernard after giving them a chance last week, and he doesn’t particularly rate Sigurdsson in one of the 3 midfield slots. This looks like a team to batten down the hatches in midfield and hope something happens up top.

Like telling a brain surgeon he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Why would he.

 

[mill]

Last week put into context really. Southampton villa 4-1.

The brain surgeon didn’t know last week...

The team has no pace in it. Can only see us scoring from set pieces.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Why would he.

Exactly. I deserve internet points for saying Carlo would be much more pragmatic this week. I didn’t think for a minute he would be THIS pragmatic

 

[LocalNative]

Formation looked strange on paper, looks even worse in practice.

Two changes, got to be two of Iwobi, Gordon and Bernard for Gomes and Sigurdsson.

 

[Axlswhk]

Starting lineup deserves to be call out.

the team and tactic can’t function because we simply don’t have proper wingers to make it work.

 

[bullybeef]

Come on Carlo lad let’s inject something into this tepid performance.

Carlo knows better than all of us put together

You try putting out a good side missing both fullbacks and both wide players

Yeah can’t blame him for the approach. I actually think he took the right one apart from playing Gomes and Sigurdsson together in those wing positions.

 

[steele]

Not a great game, but we have had some chances. Think we can get something out of this

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Love carli but I have no idea what he is trying here. Players look clueless from kickoff.
