2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[Moonlight dribbler]

But we don’t mate. We sit in a low block and play for set pieces. That’s us.

What is a low block?

 

[MikeH72]

What is a low block?

Where you sit everyone deep and tell your full backs not to cross the half way line.

Also called going full alladyce

It's the new phrase for parking the bus mate because it's sounds more technical.

Well thats not what we do mert.

Maybe you have seen our Left back being magic and doing bits?

 

[Saint Domingo]

If he wins today he’ll be a god, if he loses some will want him out. Weird old game.

Either way this thread will be mayhem later.

Not since October unfortunately

Coleman literally set up a goal versus City.

Dont start turning on Carlo FFS.

I'm talking about Digne when playing left back. His recent attacking output has come from left wing. And he has missed loads of games through injury.

I'm not criticising the manager, I'm just stating a fact that we haven't played great attacking football since early in the season. And our full backs have not been good recently.

 

[Guru888]

Godfrey and Digne will likely double up on Salah and Doucoure will help Coleman out with Mane when James drifts inside. I don’t actually mind the lineup at all if Allan and DCL aren’t fit to start there’s nothing he can do, if they came back and got injured we’d all be moaning. We need to stay in the game and then bring them off the bench.

 

[kiss the crest]

Carlo sees them in training, it will be fast in the 1st half so 11 players need to be on top of their game, DCL & Allan are better off coming off the bench 2nd half

Hopefully we are still in the game by then. Judging from the starting XI we have just made the game easier for them.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Deserves all the criticism he'll get after this game.

 

[Drico]

Coleman, Gomes, and Davies in the same team is asking for trouble. Coleman has spent a career losing Merseyside derbies. Why change the habit of a lifetime?
