Carlo Ancelotti

[GodZola 630]

^ He has got himself in such a position that he can't afford taking such risks in the league anymore. Shaking things up would be far easier in November and December but now we'll be practically fighting "relegation" to the Europa league spots.

If dropping Drogba for 45 minutes was the best he could do in December then I can't expect anything more than Kalou>Anelka or Ferreira>Bosingwa from now on.

I hear what you are saying and in the scheme of things you are spot on regarding the fact that he has got himself into hole and is too afraid to make changes but it was no coincidence that he put in the younger players against Ipswich and we see a totally different Chelsea, i know people will be saying it was only Ipswich (they went on to be beat the Gooners though!) but that result will go a long way in restoring confidence to the squad and should give Ancelotti some food for thought but unfortunately i think we will see a return of the old gaurd against Blackburn when he could use that performance last week as a 'springboard' for the younger players, to use them more frequently and as i've already stated to drop some of the senior players including A Cole and Malouda, 2 names you forgot to mention!

Not quite the great man he's made out to be. Surely if we fail to qualify he should be the one getting us back into it and seeing out his contract with us. I'm thinking (hoping) he'll go to Roma anyway.

It seems that he's preparing his way out. But anyway, I doubt that Roman will keep him if he fails to qualify us into the Champions'...

Looks like Ancelotti is on his way out ( if afforded comments are truth!)

Who is the problem though? Ancelotti or Roman??

No manager on the planet can do his job if the 'Big boss' makes costly decisions...........

Definately not Roman,unless he takes training and picks the team all the time.

I don't think he will leave in the summer.

But even if he leaves in 2012, he did good in buying Ramires and David Luiz. Very good insight into them.

If we get a new manager i hope is a manager that risk more with youth.

And no, Mourinho is not that guy. He only moans more then Carlo about not having money to buy players...as he was doing with Madrid for a striker, when he has the youth to use them, but don't.

We need a manager like Wenger, and that only men is Marcelo Bielsa.

His changes today were spot on,Essien brought more to the midfield and Anelka was one of the creators for the goal.

If we advanced people would call him a mastermind.

I agreed he did a good job.

As I said, coaches like Mourinho and Carlo are as good as what they have in front of them.

Only things is that Mourinho bitches and moans about everything, that everyone and their momma knows about it. While Carlo is more of a reserve guy.

But what these both coaches are not, is youth creators. They are not the type of coaches to take risk in youth, and that will be a problem for a long term.

Just like Mourinho was brought here for quick success, so was Carlo was brought for a quick success in the CL.

So if for some reason Carlo leaves the club, then we need a new coach that deals more with youth.

And no Mourinho is not the man neither. You need a man like Wenger...and only one i know that is as good as him and produces youth is Marcelo Bielsa.

[True_Blue 469]

If we get a coach like Wenger that cares only about the youth,and we don't win shit in 7 years+ then we will probably lose 50% of our supporters.

Good, then we loose all the glory hunters.

But the Wenger model is the best.

However you want a coach better then Wenger. And Marcelo Bielsa is better then Carlo, and Mourinho. But comes a close second to Guus.

He is the man that can help infuse youth, with a well balanced of stars in the team.

What Bielsa did for Chile was something that only the great Guus could have done. It is why Bielsa is the new Guus.

I agree that Guus would be the right pick,BUT after Ancelotti has his time.And two years is not enough time to show his best.And after all his first season was perfect.

Well here is the thing. If Chelsea wants to continue spending and buy stars, then Carlo should stay. He did the right buys with Ramirez and David Luiz. With a side note to Yossi.

But if you want more youth, then he is not the man.

We wanted to start our youngsters in one season,and even expect them to do well.But to bring young players into a first team full of stars and expirienced players is a task that needs to be done for years slowly.

Its getting predictable, play the same players, substitute the same players for the same players and play the same shitty long ball to Drogba... This has been bollocks all season, so many times today Cech smacks a huge high ball and nobody wins it. Fucking pointless.

Give Carlo time to sort things out but we cant let things get worse. This has been our worst season for a very long time and definitely the worst since roman came in. He has to take some blame too because every member of staff is there because of him and likes of Mourinho and Wilkins are gone because of him.

I really hope things turn around soon. 0 goals in 3 games (90 minutes) is awful, plainly and simply.
