2019/20 Carlo Ancelotti

[jazzy]

It will be very interesting to see how he sets the team up and who fills what positions.

The perceived wisdom appears to be that he plays 4-4-2 with a diamond in midfield.

If that's correct then based on who is currently available I'd expect him to go with something like ;

Pickford

Sidibe Holgate Mina Digne

Schneiderlin

Davies Delph

Sigurdsson

DCL Richarlison


Wonder how long it will be before he realises that we need at least 1 centre half , all 4 of that midfield are nowhere near good enough and that DCL for all his athleticism and work ethic just isn't the answer ?

I think he is the best manager in the world right now, with Zidane a close 2nd and then Pep. We couldn't have done any better.

I've been a fan of Ancelotti since 2013 when he was at Real Madrid. The players loved him, you could tell. They didn't want him to leave including Ronaldo, but it was Perez that wanted a change.

Not really sure how you can have Zidane in that list period. And where is Klopp? I know he is someone we love to hate but you are honestly suggesting that Zidane is a better manager right now ?

I like the way he talks.

Zidane has won three Champions Leagues.

I know it’s all PR and it might not even be him doing it but I love the tweets from MrAncelotti, nice personal touch

He better not show his Christmas tree or otherwise I'm going to bin him off Twitter like Koeman.

Think it will be 4-3-3 with Kean up top.

Your definition of a big club is different from mine. In your opinion, how many big clubs are there and will you name them?

Well, again we’re going off topic somewhat so I don’t want to dwell on it but, In this country?

Top six.

If you want to expand the definition to include historically successful clubs like us, Villa, Sunderland, Newcastle, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest (all of whom haven’t won a thing for several decades) then it becomes diluted and ceases to mean really anything.

The term “big club”, to me anyway, implies competing regularly for major honours, all of which the current top six do and have done at varying levels over the last 20 years.

Us and someone like Villa are still reputable clubs but it doesn’t and hasn’t translated into anything meaningful for generations of fans - we are no longer giants of the game and haven’t been for 30 odd years.

Perhaps a sleeping giant about to be awoken from it’s slumber?

Super excited...you are not a twenty something girl called Charlie in marketing. Pull yourself together!

In true Christmas tradition....

... Oh yes I am!

 

[matty1878]

Its quite surreal. Like if Robbie Williams pitched up at the pubs Open Mic night.

Gonna take some time to get used to this.

It is mate, and once he gets us playing the way we want, he wants it’s going to be even better,

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Jesus wept. I was simply pointing out you can cherry-pick stats to suit any agenda, but you've gone off on a tangent, inferring I was comparing Ancelotti to Alex Ferguson.

Talk about putting your own spin on things.

Are you an MP?

I think I'll leave it there, as this is like....

That’s magic!

Its 2019, Everton have just appointed Carlo Ancelotti and people are actually questioning it.

Some of you deserve the last 24 years.
