I still think Ancelotti's biggest mistake by far in his tenure here was how he bedded Torres in, it could litterally not have gone any worse if he fucking tried. You put him up in his debut against the club he just left on their home turf no less, you have 40k people that want to murder you constantly spitting hateful bile at you the entire game, you get elbow clothesline by your former teammate and get nothing. You get Subbed at 60 minutes for then Liverpool to score and the humiliation is complete. I'd defy Ancelotti to actually try do a worse job with that, as we all know strikers are creatures of confidence and in one fel swoop he destroyed every last shred of Torres'. Look at Mancini and how he bedded in Aguero that is how you introduce a new striker to the team, heck even fucking Liverpool did it right with Suarez.
