I think there's large spells of togger which just isn't easy on the eye but I think its okay to say that and be honest. Like I said I think there's factors at play which is a shocking lack of depth. If you give Ancelotti quality players he will have the team playing quality football. His Napoli side was one of the better sides (twice) to go to Annfield for example and play some quality football.
We are a massive work in progress and short in so many positions and then even more short in depth to be able to rotate that I'm a realist that it ain't going to be pretty at times. But the more we win, the better for all concerned because etc be honest its far more fun looking at the league table and where we could be after a win than after a defeat and the frustrations that bring.
In Carlo we trust and I hope we back him to the hilt the next couple of windows and we'll then see what he can really do with a squad.
This style of football is getting the best out of this squad. It's as simple as that.
Carlo doesn't want to install a philosophy. He wants to win. He wants top 4, and he'll take it however we achieve it.
If he was a bar of rock, he'd have winner written within.
We all know about his managerial achievements. but even as a player, he won Serie A x 3, Coppa Italia x 4, European Cup x 3.
He's been a manger for 25 years, and has won it all.
He's literally the don. THE senior manager in world football, no questions asked.
On top of all that, he's 'only' 61.
We're very, very, lucky to have him. I still pinch myself on a daily basis.
It's not gonna be an easy ride though. There's some absolute heavyweights of the game in this country, and it's absolutely mad to think that only 4 out of Arsenal, Man utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Everton and Man City can get into the Champions League.
