2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

Delph's injury may just have saved his job. The immediate change in team dynamics was about on par with before vs after Neville's tackle on Ronaldo in 2008. If he doesn't play Konks or Flash - nor shift Wobes back to his Fulham pos - then he's as bad as Koeman was.

No doubt we are going through a sticky patch. But 1.62 points a game since he arrived would be enough for 5th place over a season.
Keeper, a centre back, a centre midfielder (capable of carrying and passing the ball), we would be close to being a finished article next season in terms of 4th place.

I have no words.

I meant to add right back. And these need to be equal to the Allan / james standard.
digne, Allan, Richardson, dcl, james are all capable of playing for a top four side.
One top class keeper and centre back we would look like a different side. More confident across the pitch.
Ayling from Leeds or lamptey from Brighton would be great signings for RB.
We lack balance in the side.
A lot of the boo boys would actually be decent squad players, it’s just that we are relying on square peg in round holes at the minute

Let’s be honest, there are several teams in the league better than us, who play more intense and purposeful football.

There isn’t much of a chance this side will get Europe next season which was the aim and as a result Richarlison will be gone and we will be looking to replace him.

apart from he usual obvious, Liverpool, City, Spurs, Chelsea, Man U there is then Wolves, Leicester and having seen them for the last two weeks Leeds look far more dynamic than us also, Southampton also have looked a far better side than us in the last 6-8 weeks too.

If we don’t get European football next season then it will be deemed a massive failure and the press and opposition fans will have a field day laughing at us.

I don’t think there’s anything new in us being laughed at by the press and opposition fans sadly. We’re dealing with the results of years of mismanagement.

We can definitely do better on the pitch but sorting the club out is no quick fix.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

We really have some toxic fans.

We have fans who know little about football but they think they do... Historical Holgate and Calvert Lewin threads are perfect examples.

Regarding toxicity we can now firmly put to bed the negative fan at goodison making players nervous and dragging players down.

As for the manager, he has tried to play the best players available, which currently is midfielders and forward into more defense roles as wing backs. They are just not up-to it for various reasons.

They’re already laughing mate, have been for years. I’m in a what’s app group and it’s absolute torture.

Wtf is this post.

He needs to start taking some responsibility for what is going on. He is also very lucky that a significant number of fans aren’t in Goodison because the decisions he’s been making lately would be booed.

 

[kenada_blue]

He wasn't good then neither

Ha.

I'm not defending it...just pointing out that it wasn't an alien position for him.

Oh no not the Goodison boo! Yikes

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Great man,Great manager he'll get it right when we sort the personnel out. Don't expect wonders when has to make decisions like having to play JJK at full back or Iwobi at wing back. We get the right in personnel in with him at the helm and we'll do well.

 

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

We were outplayed and the score was about right. MOTD had an xG of 1.49 v 3.38.

Stop lying about who you support you wall pushing, fountain wanking Kopite virgin.

 

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

Rinus Michels is an absolute idol of mine and one of the most underrated coaches of all time. However, even at their peak the great Ajax teams of the 70's only had 4 or 5 top class players.

That 95 side had 13 or 14 top players.

You surprise me there, I would've put money on your idol being Jimmy Savile.

 

[COYBL25]

Oh no not the Goodison boo! Yikes

I see he’s started bright and early today Neil.

Nice to see such commitment and dedication to the cause.
