2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[Efcjake]

Hamstrung with injuries and suspensions but I can't get behind starting 5 central midfielders.

That match played out exactly the way most of us expected when we saw that team sheet.

Is it his fault that Brands has signed two fairly useless wide players in Bernard and Iwobi and Carlo can't rely on the squad when James and Richarlison are out?

What was the plan today from Carlo? What was he expecting? Do the back room staff not watch the opposition to know they like to make it tight in the middle and are well set up defensively.

Heads baffled here.

But it is his fault he seemingly relies on Sigurdsson and Gomes to replace them.

Love the guy, but think he got it badly wrong today. Writing was on the wall with that starting lineup and I think most of us could see it was gonna be a slog.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Carlo got it wrong again. Baffling team, baffling subs. Buck up your ideas Carlo!

 

[Osamabindiesel]

One of those days where the manager fully deserved the result. This petty tiff with Gordon needs to end. It’s arrogance at this point

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Get rid.

 

[PhilRegan]

Similar to last week , very questionable selection.

[Thomasc]

Nearly 180 minutes without a serious threat of the oppositions goal, this isn’t much better than the dross served up for the majority of last season.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Seriously, what did he expect today? Joke, Carlo, absolute joke.

 

[Lanolin]

Sorry but this is very much on him.

 

[LocalNative]

Dreadful tactics today. This is a terrible result against a really poor team.

 

[TippEverton]

Hilarious when anyone dares question his team selection or subs that in some people's eyes it equates to 'turning on him'.
