2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[ToffeeTim]

And how does that help the midfield getting over run

We play the ball forward from defence. We get Richarlison involved. We get iwobi involved. We let Davies sit and see the game in front of him. We put doubt in their minds about coming forward.

That was not Everton football. That was disgusting to watch. We are not a sit back passive, possession based side. We couldn't even keep the ball trying to play square either. Its demoralising to watch our centre backs bottle responsibility.

I love Carlo but have to point out a number of things.

1. We tend to change too much on a lineup. There isn’t consistency. In reality we have no luxury to rest players.
2. Never a good strategy to give players game-time to make them happy as clearly some of them have finished. Bin the loyalty.
3. We fail to score and lost to Leeds, Newcastle, West Ham and Fulham at home. It was clear we were dreadful in the first half and the tactics won’t work with that set group of players but he won’t make changes till we were down and it’s too late.
4. Don’t understand why we drop the four cb defence when we keep winning.

Very disappointed. Euro is gone. I am not having a go just feel we blow our big chance to get CL because we somehow do this rotation thing.

World class manager

Best thing to happen to us in my lifetime, some great results this season

But, we are horrid to watch. So many performances like this in the last 12 months. These players are choosing what games to turn up for and he needs to sort this mess out.

You can say all you want that no match is a win before kickoff but you almost NEVER see teams at the top end of the table being DOMINATED by teams at the bottom end of the table. Except for plucky little Everton. Roughly 6th time this season that's happened to us.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Still don't know what his plan is for this team, no style, no set way of playing, hit and hope football.

Agreed. Being pragmatic every week only goes so far. At some point you've got to have your way of playing that you go to and expect to win with.

 

[billybeeru]

This fella just threw away three points against one of the worst teams in the league just for the chance to MAYBE get, what, a draw against the league leaders? It defies belief.

 

[atypicalusername]

Carlo will know how poor that result and performance was. Believe in the vision

 

[MACCA75]

Stop playing Gomes, James and Gylfi in the same side for heavens sake.

 

[maccavennie]

Well played Fulham, a thoroughly deserved 3 points.

That was a gutless, disjointed, disorganised, one paced, miserable effort by us.

Absolutely dreadful and that's not just on the players, Ancelotti got it wrong before kick off, got it wrong at half time an continued to get.it wrong until the end. What looks a difficult week has now basically become a nigh on impossible week as I feel we need 6 points out of 9.

A lethargic timid way to throw away all the good work from last week and even though I shouldn't be surprised, that looked like a terrible miss mash of under prepared players who didn't have a clue what they were doing.

A chance to go 5th, this time next week we'll probably be 9th/10th and that is typical Everton.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I just worry that getting the players to the level he needs to get to the level we seem to want isn't possible.

 

[hktoffee]

Stop playing Gomes, James and Gylfi in the same side for heavens sake.

After October whenever we have Coleman in the lineup we lost.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Must be up there with Coco the Clown, Martinez for the worst home record in the Premier League era.

 

[MikeH72]

And how does that help the midfield getting over run

Well Andre Gomes wouldn’t be on the pitch which would help.

 

[paulbefc]

Got the team so badly wrong that even changing it with subs wasn't going to be enough.

I'll never understand how he thought that combination of all of our slowest players would be right for any Premier league game, given the options he had at his disposal.

It was an utterly dreadful performance from the manager tonight.

In order not to trigger people, I'm also obliged to end any critical post with confirmation that I am, despite the above opinion on tonight's game, a massive fan of our manager and very much don't want him sacked.

 

[Stoffee]

Team was awful tonight but there was big question marks with the system and players he started with and didn't change soon enough. He deserves flack for tonight.
