2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[LocalNative]

Bit of a tactical blunder today. Also don't think Cavani scores that if Mina is playing.

All three performances against Utd have been utterly dreadful - needed to change the shape of the team after the first goal.

 

[tirion]

Carlo can’t be pleased with either goal. Both down to laziness on closing

nothing to do with his tactics or team selection?

 

[DL100]

You can see the signs of change. Just frustrating we can’t be more consistent. Still 4-5 signings away from where we want to be. Iv no doubt he’s the right manager right now for us.

Don't think his tactics were to stand off the most dangerous centremid in the league tbf

This latest fiasco at OT is running it close.

You could argue at least United are a decent team, Newcastle aren’t. Saying that I agree we’ve been poor tonight.

 

[faddy the blue]

Get him gone pls.

His defensive tactics and inability to instill confidence into players make us look like Moyes' Everton from 2005 - 2010, happy to nick a win with teams below you here and there but be 100% negative against any team that wants to pass.

 

[dannyboy]

We have a team that can't compete in these games unless we sit back and soak up the pressure. Like Moyes his hands are tied until we get players in to truly compete.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Should never have changed the flat back 4.

Digne is never a LB im sorry he's a LWB or LW lad can not defend.

 

[gwladysnight]

Usual negative Ancelotti performance. Concede possession, no shots on target, hope for a goal on the counter-attack.

Don’t be so ridiculous

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I think people underestimate how good we are defensively with Mina/Keane/Godfrey/Holgate back four. I would kill to have another Godfrey and just put him in that midfield. He wouldn’t let either of those fly. Davies/Gomes don’t get around quickly enough.

 

[Groucho]

He’s the best manager we could hope to have currently.

Relax, some games were gonna lose. It happens.

 

[Jim Hopper]

No game plan here at all. Well if there was it went out the window the second Utd touched the ball. Players have bottled it. It doesn’t help that we literally have the slowest team in the league to counter and we have absolutely nothing going on from the right side of our pitch.

 

[dannyboy]

He's wrong in the way he says get him gone but the rest of the analysis is correct. We go into these games with negative tactics but only because anything else would see us embarrassed.

 

[riddick]

Carlo seriously has us set up way too negative way too often. We have no attacking threat at all.
