2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[hktoffee]

We are all frustrated.

Dinosaur

Just a few of the sick comments.

Those comments are out of order. True.

I hope our manager keeps the same defence and find a way to deal with these lesser teams at home. Too many rotation and it’s causing us.

Anyone saying Carlo is the problem here is a bedwetter of the highest order.

Carlo has a decent first 11 to choose from and nothing beyond that. The players are so inconsistent on top of that so it makes it impossible for him to be able to rely on a certain standard one game to the next.

Carlo needs to be given free rein for the next few years to do as he sees fit. Honestly what is the alternative, we sack him and get Eddie Howe in?

There is a risk that we end up like Newcastle fans with Benitez. They thought he was the second coming, only for him to be outperformed by Steve Bruce.

Carlo’s still got plenty of time in the bank to be given a proper shot at turning things around. But the way things are going, West Ham and Aston Villa could finish above us with David Moyes and and Dean Smith in charge.

So you've named 3 players not to play and suggested replacing them with 1 player who already was playing. You see what I'm saying?

You could simply look at my posts over the last week to find the answer youre looking for.

You know? The blatently obvious one.

No two ways about it - it’s worrying how we are able to put in some really horrendous performances under Ancelotti - tonight and the Liverpool cup game v their kids are the two that stand out as being particularly demoralising

As I'm not going to do that why don't you just tell me?

I honestly can't even guess. King? Mina? Onyango?

I don't see who adds "power" in a way that fixes that mess today.

Any post match reaction?

The RS cup game we at least got somewhat unlucky to miss chances. I'd have taken a repeat of that over this showing all day.

Something about character or spirit blah blah blah blah

Carlo may have been ‘world class’ at Chelsea, Madrid etc. He’s had 13 months here and I’m yet to see anything I’d regards as world class. Maybe his presence attracted James, but that’s about it.
No ones calling for his removal, but he’s got to start upping his game consistently to justify his massive wages.

Wonder what our old mate Barry's thinking?

 

[Zatara]

Let me put it this way, we shouldn't be losing the ball to a press of relegated team. No matter what the opinion on Siggy&Gomes is on this forum, they're 2 levels above anyone on Fulham's team. They should've been able to beat that press with simple 1-2 touch all day long, just like James did tonight on a few occasions, and run rings around Fulham players. Not saying James played good, but he did effectively beat their press a few times and took out 2 players at a time from the game.

I mean, I'd understand if we played vs City or L'pool and got pressed to oblivion and Siggy&Gomes not being able to cope, but against bloody Fulham. C'mon mate. They couldn't cope against carthorses pressing them.

The issue is really that Gomes and Sigurdsson arent "levels above Fulham".

They're lucky getting games for us and would be lucky to get in tonights Fulham side.

No energy or desire...

He got his only midfield runner to basically cover James. We all know that doesn't work.

Doesn't help the fact while he's doing that, Davies, Gomes and Sigurdsson are doing zero. Can't run with the ball, not close the the lone striker, can't tackle, don't close down quick enough.

Just a mess

I actually thought Davies was the best player on the pitch until he was subbed lol

 

[blue to the bone]

There is nothing enjoyable about watching us play

Didn't watch the spurs game?

 

[Del-boy]

I don’t know if it’s my memory seriously deteriorating after being subject to that dross, but have we honestly “battered” anyone this season?

to my knowledge all are games are quite tight with us winning by the odd goal. We haven’t played well all season.

 

[billybeeru]

Hopefully this performance will teach him that you can’t play Gylfi, Gomes, and James in the same side and expect not to get overrun in midfield. Probably didn’t help to add our two backup CBs to that equation as well.

After the first few games when there seemed to be 7 goals a game, most Premier League games have been tight.
