Aidan Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thought he got it wrong today and was naive in the way he set the team up. The players were awful, but I think he needs to take responsibility. More to the point he talks about still wanting to compete for Europe, however refuses to leave sigurdsson out of the squad when he obviously brings nothing to the team and keeps chopping and changing the CBs. Its clear our best pairing is Holgate and Mina. On top of that I feel Mina would have been a much more sensible choice to compete with giroud today.

Palfy Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Personally I think today just showed how poor the depth of our squad is, Ancelotti is trying to put a team out with players who just aren’t good enough, and due to injuries and with players who are not properly fit we are being exposed. The good thing is he can see who is worth keeping and who needs to go, and unfortunately we have just as many who are bad than good. Our defence struggled today because our midfield offered them no protection what so ever Davies Gylfi and Bernard were all poor and Gomes wasn’t much better, I would keep Gomes and bin the other 3, Sidibe just isn’t good enough at looking after the ball, and Digne needs to be sold before his value it’s the floor, he does very little as a defender and zilch going forward. So we need a minimum 3 MF a RB a LB and a CD, nothing that another couple of hundred million wouldn’t buy us so it’s looking like a 2 year project for Ancelotti just to try and assemble the sort of team he wants. nogs and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 You can tell Ancelotti is a class manager he never panic bought in the January transfer window, he’s taken his time to look properly at what he’s got so he knows exactly what he needs. Every manager we have had since Martinez has come in and spent big before they’ve properly got their feet under the table, Ancelotti is different he is evaluating and when he eventually buys I believe they will fit.

Gylfi, Keane Tosun no argument there, niasse is out of contract there's nothing we have to do, he's gone regardless. 4 hours ago, StevO said: I get your point on all of them, but I don’t fancy seven more faces coming in.

London Blue Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 We need to slow down the transfer merry-go-round, there are players like Siggy, Cenk, Sandro, Schneilderlein who need to go. Some players need to be given a chance to be coached by Carlo and his team. Others like Theo while not starters offer are useful options from the bench. We need a new central midfielder, a right winger and centre back then maybe something from left field (not literally) We have some more talented youngsters coming through. Ultimately Carlo is using the rest of this season as a pre-season for next time in terms of player assessment and tactics. It could give us a head start for next year. I'm happy with that and trust Carlo completely, he gets us and is becoming one of us. Matt and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all need to go with in the next 18 months and 2-4 definitely end of this season, for me the midfield is our biggest problem along with the defence, so let’s see Gylfi, Niasse, Tosun, and Schneiderlin or Davies go and bring in 2 mids and a CD and make sure we bring Kenny back.

Btay Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I like Kenny, he’s a real battler - few little technical things to iron out but that will come. I hope after chelsea this Gylfi wide left thing is done. I’d sooner see Gordon get time or Kean come in. Richarlison is doing excellent uptop but let’s find out what role this kids can play next season because I think we all know that Gylfi is going to be minimal.

Funny isn't it... the media seem to think that the fans who wanted allardyce gone don't think we appreciate what we have got in Carlo. We know our shit and we have high expectations. What they need to be reminded of is that allardyce should thank his lucky stars he got to manage a club as big as we are for the money he got. Everton is a fuckin huge club and Ancellotti knows it.

It's something that Martinez did too but they do it in a completely different way - when Martinez' decisions turned out wrong he'd try and fluff it up and put a positive spin on it, whereas Carlo will say he got it wrong and own it.

Gwlad Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 "Tactically, you have to use the team at your disposal so that all the component parts, the players and the staff, are able to be efficient in the way I have described as good football. The tactical decisions become part of the longer-term strategy in this way. My job is to create a system of play using the characteristics of the players and to make the players as comfortable as possible with that system. I believe that, in general terms, the best system is 4-4-2 because it creates the most balanced team, certainly defensively. It mirrors the shape of the pitch, a rectangle."
