What Ancelotti does have to try and fix is our form after every Derby game. It’s usually an absolute shambles.

Hes drawn 2 out of 3 so far. The long term record is really nothing to do with him. I dont think the players really believe they can win today so not a whole lot any manager can do.

I mean the games that follow every Derby game. We usually tailspin down the table after every game against them.
Difficult to change the mentality of players who are used to losing and dont really care about losing.
I think we'll actually improve after this game again but its probably too late to get back into the top 6.
That's part of Carlo's job, to make our players believe they can win today, well to win any game. The RS have been crap of late, their confidence is low, they are having to play midfielders as centre - halfs, and Burnley and Brighton proved that they can be beaten at Anfield, Carlo has to hammer this home.
I sort of agree, but a lot of these players can't be changed. I dont trust them to be competitive today nevermind win. Its nothing to do with the manager and wont change until we can pick other players with a bit of fight and character about them.

We won’t attack today so the RS won’t have to worry that they’ve got midfielders playing at centre half.
Ancelotti will let them dictate the entire game. Nailed on.
Oh deffo, expecting Carlo will play the 'low block' today or as I like to call it "park the bus" If we give them too much space, allow them to dictate possession and the game then that front three of the RS's could deffo do some damage.
They typically struggle against the low block. But we don’t offer any threat on the counter and won’t press their midfield in possession so yes, it’ll be attack vs defence for 90 minutes. If we concede first it’s game over. If we score first from a set piece it’s sit in our penalty area for the rest of the game time.
His go you work that one out ?

If he goes there with a park the bus mentality it’s curtains for us early doors.
What do you expect us to do, go there and play open, free flowing attacking football for the first time all season?
If we get a result at the pit today, the vaulting is going to be merciless later.

With the team he’ll have available today there’s literally zero excuses to sit back at all. Davies & Allan in the middle. Get at them, get in their faces, get James out on the right and Richy & Digne running at that glorified cuco Martina Alexander Arnold pinging balls into DCL, they couldn’t handle him in the air in October.
Already proven when we’re away from home when we get forward and have confidence we can create chances.
If they can’t raise their game for this one then I truly despair at why we even bother this season.
