I've been a big supporter of Tosun and seen him as a hard working player who was all about the team. It was an awful 3 minutes, misscontrolled a pass, put us under the cosh and didn't bother trying to win it back. Gylfi was screaming at him which was something I never thought I'd see. It was a baffling decision by Ancellotti, DCL is critical at winning fouls, killing the game. Taking him off at that stage wasn't a good call.

It's a coup for sure but I also think we deserve him. We're one of the world's major clubs. Credit to Moshiri for keeping his huge ambition and landing Carlo's signature, and for backing him in the market. Sam Allardyce seems like a bad distant memory now. Watching him go to West Brom while we have the guy who managed Real Madrid and Bayern Munich is so fucking satisfying. His son Davide seems like the real deal too, I'll be happy to see him take over from Carlo something like 10 years from now.

Allardyce was the punishment the board deserved for mismanaged transfers, contracts and Steve Walsh. Unfortunately the fans had to endure it but we should never forget that we spent a shitload of money and needed that shit stain to keep us in the league.

He served his purpose and did what he was brought into to do, and he made massive money doing it, then what was the cost for Silva in his time here with the compensation to Watford and paying up his contract, in fairness probably money well spent when you consider he was the catalyst for getting Richarlison to sign, when he goes we will more than double what we paid for him.

I liked Silva personally and his “idea” of football. The issue is and also with Martinez that they are one dimensional. If they manage an excellent team then it works - see Pep. I think we were naive again by hiring him. Spoilt though because Ancelotti is simply different class albeit not immune from mistakes himself. As for big Sam, I have never seen such negative football in my life. We avoided relegation but we were also taking steps towards it had he stayed in my opinion.

But when things have gone wrong Martinez and Silva just carried on the same. Ancelotti kept changing until we got it right. Under Martinez and Silva we would be winning a tight game and they keep attacking until the last minute and we threw it away so often. Ancelotti will literally put seven defenders on the pitch and bore the game to death for the three points. These “philosophies” that some managers bring is all well and good, but Ancelotti has one philosophy; win! As for Sam, he also has a philosophy; don’t concede goals at all costs. It’s has its benefits, but it’s not for me. Btay, Quinn31, Romey 1878 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it’s simply not true. Thing people forget is he was never brought here as a long term project, Moshiri brought him in to keep us up whether you or me thought that was needed is immaterial we didn’t get a choice, Moshiri wanted to give him a 6 month contract he wouldn’t accept that and they settled on 18 months, he did what he was paid to do taking us from 15th to 8th and promptly sacked with the nice payday he negotiated. He had signed his contract before the West Ham game and was watching in the stands with Moshiri and Kenwright, whether that had any influence on the game or not no one will ever truly no. I feel your anger should be with Moshiri for him being here he never approached them they approached him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did me was the Man City game were Fernandinho had more of the ball than our whole team. We won the second half 1-0 because we were that shit City saved their legs and the fat fuck wouldn’t shut up about our second half like it was an achievement.

Popular Post dunlopp9987 Posted December 26, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Someone said it in the matchday thread, but it's one year to the day of Carlo's first match and we're now sitting in 2nd. And also, that's 2 goals allowed with 3 clean sheets in our last 5 league matches. And 13 points. I would say pinch me, but I don't think I ever want to wake up from this dream AlbanyNYToffee, Wiggytop, Sibdane and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
