2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[Jim Hopper]

I'm just saying that it wasn't completely unjustified to put his faith in to Gomes&Siggy specially. But then again, there's always new levels of disappointment to be had with our midfield stars.

I get that mate but as I say he knows these players inside out now he’s worked with them for well over 14-15 months. He’s knows their weaknesses and their strengths. I haven’t watched much of Fulham this season so I really don’t know how they play, for me when I first seen the line up I thought we would do quite well. I didn’t know Fulham played with a high intensity pressing game if I had I’d have said from the off that was the wrong team to play. Not for the first time now we have gone down to a lesser talented club purely because of tactics and determination, we haven’t responded to it once. It’s a worry.

Whys he using tiredness as an excuse. What a load of nonsense

If anyone didnt see this coming you dont watch footie.

Leeds ,Man utd & Tottenham (2 hrs) , 3 very intense high profile energy sapping games .
Many thought this was just turn up tonight and Fulham roll over , well fwiw i said before the game they play really well and very unlucky to not win a lot more games. Plus theyve had well over a week to prepare for this.( 5 games in 15 days , we've not got the squad to handle that)

Ive said many times our 1st choice starting 11 will ( & do) give anyone a game.
Look at the fixtures coming up , he has to rotate (whether we like it or not) if he doesnt the injuries just pile up and we play the final part of the season with 2nd string players.
The players that have been nothing short of fantastic for the last 3 games are blowing out their arse's.

Quite a few of these players wont be here shortly , then and only then when he gets his own players in he should be judged.

Some of the comments tonight are bang out of order.

Mate we put in the exact level of performance against Newcastle at home having just pretty much had a two week rest. Same against West Ham after the City game was postponed.

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.

West Brom...kind of. 5-3 but it was 4-3 before we scored the 5th and it hung in the balance iirc

We were lucky not to be 2 nil down to West Brom after 20 mins and then they had a player sent off.

His post match comments are pretty disappointing.

Rome wasn't built in a day, boys. The 4 players he's brought in have mostly performed. Even some of the old ones stepped up. Think that's enough of a reason to let the man have time with making his own team.

What did he say?

I assume he has a few earmarked for the bin in the summer so isn't bothering to have a go publicly.

But yes, as a fan I'd like him to be more definitive and say that wasn't good enough.

 

[lieneverton]

What's he said? It wasn't our night / blamed the Spurs game?

Hes protecting the team.

He cant keep setting us up so open in games though. Forget what the league table says, we will be overrun if we do.

 

[ToffeeTim]

What did he say?

Basically said we were tired

Load of tosh

 

[Everton1654]

Haha £250k a week manager who blames tiredness

He did that after Newcastle etc.

Sometimes you have to just call a spade, a spade.

A gutless performance like that should be condemned, not excused.

Tiredness?

Honestly...

As bad as Jurgen blaming the wind or cold feet.

He was saying this before the game. Gave the players an excuse to phone it in.
