2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[KaiserEFC]

Seen so many similar in the past who are flavour of the month and then move to a bigger club have a poor run and disappear into obscurity. Mike Walker for example

Others make it too. I’m not saying Everton should hire him or anything either, just giving my opinion of him

 

[KaiserEFC]

there's this idea he's footy without substance but actually it's not that at all really. They create the chances, loads of them, but have lacked that cutting edge.

Dom, even Richarlison-level of forward in that team and they'd have been at the very least where we are this season. So can see the logic.

I don't want him over Carlo. But I do think it makes the whole 'what more can he do with our rabble' thing laughable. Would people want Lallana, Gross and Bissouma as a three over James, Allan and Doucoure, for example...

If I’m honest I’d have Bissouma over Allan and Doucoure. I think there’s a player there

Oh I rate Bissouma. But I mean if you lined up the midfield threes against each other, and had to choose, I'd say most people would pick ours, no?

Fair point, but I'm not sure you can say he was better. Don't forget he was cut down by that awful injury in season two.

It's not actually true though since Yak scored 21 goals in his first season for us.

Just humour him mate, it goes on forever otherwise. Many important soccer ball opinions.

Note I replied to you, rather than him.

You know its bad when talking to me is the better bet lol.

If we do end the season with a whimper in tenth (and let’s face it, we will), then that is a long run of awful form.

If we get off to a bad start in our first 6 games next season, then I think people will be having very different conversations on here.

Out of the three yeah ours before but as we’ve seen a million times, looks can be deceiving

Its the same with every manager.

Silva's first season you were Fanta Scruff if you dared question him. 2nd season people wanted him stringing up lol

I think you are doing Potter a great disservice.

A man of his not inconsiderable talents needs a better platform to showcase them than current day Everton. I'm afraid our squad, transfer strategy, and deeply ingrained culture of mediocrity and low aspirations (reflected in player attitudes) is just not the breeding ground talents like him thrive in.

No, said bigger clubs are a better bet. So that leaves the question, who else succeeds the ailing Ancelotti?

whilst this is indubitably accurate, I do feel our sleeping giant of a club can provide fertile ground for a certain breed of manager. A man (or woman) who really loved that TV programme 'Glee' and/or 'Fame' might do well here since our brave lionhearts really only embrace Blue Chrimbo panto performances (certainly not football ones). Hard to find that man though...maybe a 'situations vacant' notice on the bulletins board inside The Lisbon?

This may appease the die hards who seek a man well versed in style and flair.

Make it so!

Potter would fit us like a glove. He will be at Leicester/Arsenal/Spurs/Utd next, Brighton play good stuff and without a striker. Not like the turd we serve every weekend.

Why the hell would we hire Potter, when we have Carlo? Madness, we had sexy Silva and still couldn't play the ball forwards without it going astray.

Going to be finishing tenth.

Which, if we do is a shocker of a season.

Shocking END to the season. We have been there or thereabouts all year bar from the last 3/4 games. That is a huge improvement over being near the foot of the table and having a late rally to finish mid table. Also two quarter finals, if this is a shocker I hate to think what the last few can be classed as.

We ended last season on a whimper but had a great start to this season.

Injuries and an absolute lack of squad depth (plus general naff players) has really stuffed us second half of this season.

Make it so!

some fashion aficionado might say wearing flares is the antithesis of style...
