2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[Gilbert..]

Everyone apart from City has been inconsistent. You only need a little run, such as this, to shoot right up.

True. And maybe not the time straight after a win. But we cant really be relying on iwobi's bernards and a few others.
But may aswell put that to bed for the summer and go with the fight for a CL spot.
Iwobi just kills me though.

Well it was not exactly the festival of free flowing attacking football I always hope for from the Blues but it is completely about getting into European positions in order to help attract the next 4 players in the summer to take us to CL level. For us still to be in the picture while giving so much game time to guys who are pretty average is remarkable. Well done Carlo!
We just have to be patient that it is tactics combined with a better attitude from the players rather than pure football brilliance which is getting us through.

Can't believe how many people are miserable we've just gone 4th in the table in March.

3 points will do for me was a bit worried about tonight, we just bored them into submission.

 

[bitter-no-better]

Another 2nd half masterclass from the main man. Allan and Sig and game won.

We had to play him, and bringing Sigurdsson on rather than doing it in the other order appears to have worked.

It does...fortunately

I think in his defence, it's hard to play expansive football with Holgate at RB. He's great defensively but offers nothing going forward. Similarly, we don't have a RW who can change the game up, we need to play down the left or middle to hurt teams.

Gonna have to keep grinding these results out until the summer then add some quality to the starting XI.

Carlo Pragmatico!

After years of inflexible, rigid ideological managers who were busted flushes once their flawed Plan A went out the window, it's a delight to have a pragmatist in charge who will do what it takes to win.

In Carlo We Trust. Believe in the vision

 

[Jim Hopper]

At this point in the table it’s all about the points and he’s getting us them. It ain’t pretty but look where we are.

 

[Toffeeslam]

Where would we be if we didn’t have Carlo here ?

this would have probably been a relegation six pointer

 

[ToffeeTim]

We had a massive derby win and we followed it up by grinding out two big 1 nil wins.

If that isn't progress then I don't know what is.

Carlo is only getting started. Back him fully and the ceiling is very high.

Normally we’re typing that after the first two games of the season...it’s ‘kin March

 

[Saint Domingo]

Carlo doesn’t panic on a 1-0. Maybe that’s why we’re not throwing leads away any more
