2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

Sometimes yanno
You just got to take your hat off and acknowledge we have just beem beat by a wonderful football team.

Yanno just like the 16 other teams they've beat on the bounce.

And their 2nd & 3rd goals for them win almost any game they are in.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Again mate, not here to suggest he's the best thing that's ever happened to us. I'm here to gently mock your absurd suggestion that he's been hopeless.

He’s on for possibly our worst ever home record. What do you call that?

Thing is...it’s the Derby Saturday at the pit.
You know what’s coming...you know it’s another 90 mins of shockingly sloppy, negative defensive football looking at damage limitation and I seriously CBA sitting through another 1 1/2 hours of that.
Kid yourselves if you think we will have a go at them.
The football is seriously dire and I don’t believe he’s getting the best out of what is available to him due to negativity and playing not to lose.

That’s fine, as long as we beat teams in the relegation zone at home.

This isn’t anything different to what Fat Sam was doing.

I remember the good times at the start of the season when Carlo knew his best team and they were all fit.

Chopping and changing tactics and the team every week for a while now and we are all over the shop.

I'm still amazed by how poor we are in possession. Definitely one of the worst teams in the league with the ball.

Playing Tom Davies in most games explains a lot of it. Yet pop into his thread and he is lauded...

for the record I wasn’t even thinking of this fine poster when I was ranting in here last night

nobody is as silly and full of childish tantrums as good ol GB

Spot on. They have for the last 3 months ripped every side apart. Brilliant side.

This works when you haven't been played off the park by the team in 18th place...

Our form away from home gives me hope that we can actually do something there, providing DCL is fit to play and Sigurdsson doesn't start.

 

[Mrk]

In normal times I’d call it very concerning, but we don’t really have ‘home’ or ‘away’ games any more, do we? There’s no fans, we’re playing in empty stadiums.

Exactly this.

This exactly. Seventeen wins in a row. They are phenomenal.

I don’t expect us to beat them in the cup either.

In terms of overall possession that’s where we sit. As you can see amongst all the top dogs.
