SOME OF THE ANCELOTTI PRE MATCH CHELSEA P/C

James joins injured list​

He confirms Coleman isn't available but started training this week.
He should be back for Leicester.
Delph and James Rodriguez are out


Rodriguez didn't train this week​

Ancelotti says James suffered a problem against Burnley, hasn't trained this week, and they don't want to risk him for this fixture.


No complaints over injuries​

I'm not used to complaining about the players not available.
We understand it will be an important moment and test.
We arrive at the game with confidence and motivation



On defensive numbers/Back four​

We have the option to play with three at the back, we can play four.
It depends on what strategy we want to play in the game.


Ancelotti on return of supporters to Goodison​

It will be nice for everyone. It's a good start to reopen the stadium, it will be really good and really nice.
I'm sure they are going to support us for the game tomorrow


Ancelotti's tribute to team-mate Rossi​

I have fantastic memories of him. He was a funny guy and I’m really sad.


Ancelotti on Incident​

It was a strong, strong decision that the players made.
UEFA has to investigate what really happened and work on this


Ancelotti on Lampard​

I think he's doing really well. He did really well last season at Chelsea, he's doing well now.
He has a fantastic squad, a fantastic team

Ancelotti on Chelsea​

Chelsea are in a really good moment. It is necessary for us for a fantastic and top, top performance. The question is are we able to do this
The answer in my personal opinion is yes, we are able to compete


Ancelotti on Previous Chelsea Games​

I have a good memory of both games, I saw one game on television and they did a fantastic job and we were really bad at Stamford Bridge.
We need the kind of motivation Duncan put on the players. This will be a good base to have a good performance.


A good sensation' from fan return​

Players, staff, coaches are really pleased to have supporters at the stadium.
I think there will be a lot of noise, but it will be a good sensation for everyone.


Blues still fighting for Europe​

I think the last three games against Fulham, Leeds and Burnley - the team showed some good qualities.
We are where we want to be, fighting for the position in Europe. There is a lot of competition but Everton is there.

Carlo on Clean Sheets​

We are not happy, only the first game we had a clean sheet. We tried to solve this using different shape,
but as I said we have to improve the attitude and concentration defensively. Honestly I have to say the players are all focused there.


Ancelotti on How Calvert-Lewin has developed​

It's quite clear, he has more consistency in the box compared to last season.
I'm hoping that Richarlison starts to score goals like Dominic.


Ancelotti on Iwobi Versatile​

I think when Iwobi is fit, he can play everywhere. In this moment I have a lot of confidence, because his physical condition is really good.

Ancelotti on Night he left Chelsea​

Long time ago but a great memory! It [leaving drinks] was a fantastic gift from Chelsea players, I still have for every one of them a really good memory


James absence will mean a change in style​

James is a fantastic player for us, he did really well at the beginning and had some problems after the game against Liverpool. But we have to be,
and we will be, able to adapt. We have a good squad, we are going to play a little bit different


Will wait and see if James can face Leicester​

He was not able to train, nothing special but he was not able to train. We have to look at him after the game, to see if he will be able to train and play against Leicester

We signed James to attack​

What can I say? I say that we have signed James not to defend! We have signed James to help the team have better quality in front. Defensively,
I haven't asked him a lot of work because you are going to lose him in front."

A lot of bollocks talked there but this especially is just bizarre:

I think the last three games against Fulham, Leeds and Burnley - the team showed some good qualities.

Does he hear himself speak?
 

Olsen
Kenny Keane Holgate Nkoukou
Iwobi Allan Doucoure
Bernard DCL Richarlison

SHOULD be the team but we all know he’ll do some mad formation where the players don’t know where they’re meant to be and he’ll have to change it when we’re getting hammered.

We’ll play Godfrey at left back and then wonder why Reece James has set up camp on the corner of our 18 yard box and we can’t get out of our own half.
 
On the bright side: one of our frozen out youngster must be included in the sqaud as we don't have enough players otherwise. Unless he puts Olssen and Lossl on the bench lol
