2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

People who point to the Anfield away win like we wasn’t just one of 8 teams on the run who managed to get something there this year.
May I suggest looking at it another way? What if we had lost when everyone else was turning them over?

You are right, it was a golden opportunity to best them. But I've lost count of the times we felt like we should have their measure (home or away) under different managers... only to bottle it. The 2010 Anfield game we conspired to lose against ten men, urgh. Painful stuff.

So let's enjoy it.
 
We got beat by the under 9s at anfield. And multiple b and c teams and teams in terrible form. All the while teams have played in the conference promoted all the way to the prem, beat them at anfield and went back down again. It was a major mental block. 21 years. Everton have craped themselves. Now your going to try am down play it. I don't care if Liverpool have lost every single game up to it. A major achievement in terms of Everton.
A major achievement winning at a ground a lot of teams have?

Ancelotti really doesn’t have to do much for that £12m p/a to keep the happy clappers on board, does he? lol
 


Cool, so did you feel it was a routine game? Nothing on it? Or a better win than normal?
As someone from the city and who has supported Everton my whole life whilst hating them, it was special to me.

To Carlo Ancelotti, a professional on £12m p/a, I would hope he had them as fired up for that game as he would any other because the points are worth all the same.

Personally I find the Carlo hate very strange.

Given you know how much the game means, plus the frustration felt for years where multiple teams and managers have failed, you can surely see why people are pleased with this aspect of Ancelotti's reign?

It doesn't preclude said same people being critical of him too. Maybe it is me, but your stance on this comes across as a bit sour. Which may be why you kop so much flak.

But okay, that is football.
 
The cracks are appearing in support of him. Ex-players are even starting with small remarks. It’s how it always starts.
I personally don't see how people can criticise him when we are still in a battle for top 4.

But hey, that's the way of the world these days.

I don't see us ever getting a manager with a pedigree like Carlo, so I don't ever see a day where I turn around and say "Yeah, we should let him go".

Honestly if we were doing a Koeman and scraping the bottom of the league I could understand it, no, 8th isn't where we want to be, but its a "start".

As I've said, its not my place to defend Ancelotti, nothing anything anybody can say will change your view and that's fine, holding your own views and fighting for them is perfectly fine, as I've also said, at some point you will probably be able to give us "Seeeeeeeeeeeee I told you he wouldn't ever do anything", we support a club that's done nothing for 26 years, so predicting failure is a cracking bet.
