2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[Saint Domingo]

Out of work for almost a year now.

Very bad manager.

that’s a good point, I’d completely forgotten he’d not resurfaced anywhere.

Mate. The usual definition of "spine" means back to front throughout the side. Not GK and 2 CB

I know what the term spine means. But the first part is weak and seeing as the talk was defence i didnt think i had to go up further.

 

[Gilbert..]

I think Keane is fine. His performances are improving all the time, and he is scoring goals too. We need a pacey, elegant defender alongside him to get close to the Lescott/Jags partnership of over a decade ago.

I think they are all similar levels tbh.
Id put
Holgate
Keane
Mina
In that order.
None really fill me with confidence. Said it before. I think we have moved up a level from midfield onwards. The defence is still that mid table level. Saw today on the first west brom goal. Ok the midfield left them exposed for a bit but that shouldnt guarentee a goal. They are still defenders who should be able to do better than they did on that goal. The midfield will help them a lot now. But they cant rely on that protection all the time. First goal showed those flaws are still very much there.

No Carlo, no James and no Allan, but the managers past it lol.

good players win you games and bad players dont thats the difference really if marco silva had james rodriguez allan doucure he could win games too

Just accept he isn’t any good.

This is completely wrong. Your forgetting a little thing called tactics.

He just thinks Ancelotti is past it, not worth debating with him.

He looked fuming in that post-match presser.

 

[Mrk]

He looked fuming in that post-match presser.

Think he was as worried about the defence (and specifically Mina) as the rest of us. Something we need to sort asap.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

at some point the players didnt want him and they just stopped giving a f thats why

Who's job is it to motivate the players again?

 

[bluerobert]

I bet he poops delicious little nuggets of gnocchi

Yeh we were terrible at the back.

What about Branthwaite in your list?

To young and to early to make that call yet. Though cant not like whats been seen so far.
