I’ve been reading all of the posts in here for weeks after games and I hate to be in the minority here but
@GwladysBlue makes a lot of good points
I was happy when we appointed Carlo because of his past triumphs but was also a little sceptical about how he would get a tune out of our players
it’s fine winning trophies with talented Milan, Chelsea and PSG squads but I just don’t see him ever getting that kind of team here.
He’s a pragmatic coach and a good one at that. But like Mourinho, I feel the game has passed them by. I’d love to see a progressive, modern coach in charge with an identity - from week to week our football is so unpredictable.
Managers, like players, have upwards trends and then get worse as they get older, apart from freaks of nature like Alex Ferguson but even then, he brought in assistants to update him on modern day tactics like Carlos Queiroz.
Our football is dreadful at times and it looks so dated. Look at how well Moyes is doing with his squad, their football is better than ours and it’s a consistent style.
it’s very telling that Carlo has gone from the big plum jobs like Milan and Chelsea, then to a one-horse race league and then Napoli / Everton. I just don’t think he’s the manager he was, far from it.
