2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[Exeter_Gently]

The Greatest

I have absolutely no idea how he has got this side 2nd in the league, but I’ll take it.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Blood from a stone. Magician.

 

[mceverton]

A lovely, lovely man

 

[Osamabindiesel]

The most impressive win of the season for me. The weather was unbearable, Sheffield United might be the most desperate team in the history of the league and we were missing everybody.

These are the results we have to take. Wins against Chelsea and Tottenham are nice, but the majority of our games are against dross like this. Have to win most of these games.

What a manager.

 

[Gilbert..]

2nd in the table with quite frankly a squad that isnt really a 2nd in the table squad.
He knows what hes doing.

 

[kenada_blue]

Oh. More?

5 away wins so far.
More points away (16) from home (13).
First win without Richarlison.

Carrlooooooo

 

[AndyGray]

Sniff it, doubters

 

[Goat]

Hes just taken us to 2nd, without Allan, Rico, Digne and Hamez.

We just watched Tom Davies play like a young Pirlo

Iceland(@GrandOldTeam) won us the game.

Tell me hes not the greatest Manager, EVER, just try it.

 

[Saint Domingo]

No style of play, no plan B when best players are out, can’t organise a defence, can’t run a proper fitness drill, can only manage superstars in the short term.

Tell me more.

Padrino

I think the word "overachieving" needs to be used in relation to the job the Don is doing with this squad of misfits. This run of four straight wins has happened without our four best players, by and large. Even if you were to say that Koeman and especially Silva underachieved with the same players, Ancelotti has come in and made them so much more effective. To be second in the league given the adversity - and general mediocrity of much of these players - is a stunning impact inside 12 months.

We'll have plenty of ups and downs until he has his own men in most positions, but we couldn't have legitimately hoped for more within 12 months of his appointment - and all the more so when you consider that much of this has been delayed by a pandemic. We're getting our money's worth from Carlo!

Alpine Klopp and Bielsa?

 

[Axlswhk]

Happily sitting at second. It’s a weird season, only 4 point separate 2nd and 9th place.
