2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

This season will be streaky and stuttering. We have a squad of very very stupid players. Only a few have a footballing brain. Maybe Holgate, maybe Godfrey, Digne does, Allan, James, probably DCL that’s about it. The rest look completely thick and need a rigid tactical system to stop them from completely messing everything up. Teams eventually figure out tactical systems though so you have to change to keep it fresh and for us to get wins.

Carlo can’t just do what Klopp Pep or Ole can do and throw 11 players out who will solve their own problems on the pitch and find answers. Most of our players make problems for our team and make very very stupid decisions all the time.

Until these players are moved on and better ones brought in then we’re probably going to see these runs of good performances interrupted with horrendous ones. The players can’t manage themselves, they can’t deal with problems, and they’ve generally got a very poor lazy attitude. It feels like unless Carlo is always telling them exactly what to do they just completely capitulate.

Blood from a stone with this squad. Always has been, always will be until the same few clowns are shown the door.
 
Ok that's fine. It has nothing to do with our chief problem at the minute.

Or maybe it does but not having the right CB being why we can't score is a really sad state of affairs.
Just think if we have kept the same back four we won’t concede that’s all. Yes not scoring is another problem.
 
You can't blame Ancelotti for the likes of Richarlison phoning a performance in, meaning DCL had to do the work of two, meaning we had no attacking outlet.

However, you can blame Ancelotti for not hooking Richarlison when it became obvious he couldn't be arsed in the slightest playing football.

The call for me on 60 minutes was Tosun for Richarlison and go two up front with James behind. But hindsight is 20/20.

Maybe but the problem is we are playing coin flips every week. Against SHU we were the team that got the slice of fortune to win 1-0. Today it was West Ham. That isn't fixed by defending better. We're defending fine already. That is fixed by being a better attacking side and he's, to my eye at least, doing nothing to fix the issues there.

Yes we're down players but he's doing nothing to try and work it out with what he has.

their goal is just pure luck. We never looked like conceding really

playing four CB’s just adds to our problems going forward though.

I think he will find another solution. And hopefully get a player or two this Jan.
