Ancelotti has to shoulder some blame.

What kind of a system is he trying to implement by having 4 CM shoe horned into a narrow midfield, which leaves no width or pace. Gomes and sigurdsson are both playing AM but don't have the legs to drive forward with the ball.
 

@Evri
who's he gonna pick tho?

it's like B team everton vs newcastle, and it's still a draw with good chances of everton winning. What else do you need?
 

Gylfi's gonna have to stay on because we don't have anyone else to take a set-piece.

Should not be overlooked how we left ourselves short in the forward area in the market.

You have to mitigate risks and we didn't do it and this is what we end up with.

That being said, Carlo has picked a system which really offers nothing with the players that are playing in it. There's no pace and the only midfielder we do have with any speed is playing as an auxiliary right-back when Kenny pushes up. It's been garbage.

Get Gomes off for Gordon or Bernard, preferably Gordon, to inject a bit of pace into proceedings and someone who can actually run in behind.

Gylfis set pieces have been atricious since he joined us
 
Could easily just bring Brainthwaite on and switch to a back three. Push the wing-backs up, get Doucoure, Delph/Gomes/Gylfi, Allan in the centre, with Gordon/Bernard/Iwobi off Dom.

God knows, but he needs to do something.
