2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[COYBL25]

He was generally covering the left winger

Like Southampton that side was targeted time and time again

So he wasn’t playing full back then was he.

Not long now John.

Its baffling how poor we are at the back considering he's an Italian manager.

He desperately needs another defensive midfielder coming in the door in January or Gbamin to hit the ground running and stay fit once he returns as you cant play a 2 in midfield and persist with James in the team we are left too exposed.

We could do with a Gueye/Kante style DM who has a serious engine. Also, a top RB. Just think there is a lack of composure in our defence when the game isn’t going our way.

People don't think we should question why we sat back against one of the worst teams in the league while 3-1 up, Liverpool or City would have put 5 or 6 past them, Apparently we want Big Sam if we question why we sat back though.

You do realise dcl alone has scored as much goals as city this season?

How we respond next week is absolutely key. Mad to be talking about “responding” after we’ve actually just won, but the game today definitely raised more questions than answers. We got the result today, but the performance absolutely must improve.

If we beat Leeds at home next week it’s been a good start all things considering. So far it’s been 9 games, 5 of them away with 4 at home, of the 4 home games two of them have been to top 6 opposition. So of the 9 only two have been against bottom 13 opposition at home (the games easiest to win). Some teams will have played 4 or 5 games of their 9 at home to bottom 13 teams and will have had far greater opportunity to get points than us. I’m not sure Carlo has had the credit for the wins at Spurs, Palace, and Fulham he deserves.

Yes we sat back with the leagues top scorer, Sounds even worse.

 

[Joey66]

that statement is baffling. We were getting over run in midfield so he plugged it completely

He should have had Davies on as soon as they made their substitutes to help Allen to block out Loftus who dominated the midfield.....,

For me it's simple..

Play like we did in the first half but do it again in the second half as well. Every game.

THATS the level we need to get to.

We know we can play good football, but our fitness levels are not currently good enough.

Lockdown has shows its easier being the away team in games involving the top 6, its why we've had a bit of the short straw whereas the RS have had it lucky.

We've won away v spurs but not beaten any of rs or united at home.
Add to that, Leicester have won at city, rs have won at chelsea; spurs, palace and arsenal have won at old trafford, Leicester and villa won at the Emirates.

Usually these teams lose 2 or 3 a season at home.

He smells a bit doesn`t he

he’s not the only one. It’s always the same old boring posters trying to beat Carlo with a stick

it’s like they want FS back - astounding

 

[Ihaters]

Was sweet seeing Richy back and doing that thing he does... winning us games.
Guess that somce he was only slightly better than most of our team that counts as a poor game from James, but Iwobi was really good.

I'll take a win, but we were very poor second half, played since great footie first half though.

Another 3 points... will never be unhappy with that.
