The Ancelotti Thread

[LDN Blue 7,903]

"Carlo's obviously been manager of AC Milan for eight years, therefore that does come with a lot of pressure so Carlo is used to the pressure that comes with big jobs. The one thing that will be hurting Carlo won't be the media attention, it will be the way the team are playing. He's extremely passionate about his football.

"He's a very decent bloke and he is a fun guy and he is laid back, but he has this burning passion for the fact that the players aren't really playing to their full potential.''

'I don't want to do a table of the most important players at this club but obviously the players who have experience are more important compared to the others.'

Horrible news for the young players.

What good is experience when you perform like a Championship player..

Then again,

We have the opportunity to change something up front; it is more difficult to change something defensively but there are no untouchable players. If we feel they deserve to play, they play.

I know he's yet to prove this properly, but being aware is the first stage

Yeah, mehh.

Won't let myself get excited anymore.

It was party time at Stamford Bridge and Ramires fired over with the outside of his right foot before Chelsea fans showed their support for the under-pressure Ancelotti, who responded with a wave.

It’s very nice to hear the fans like that.. We all have to be close and the fans showed fantastic support. Obviously I was happy for this.

Good to hear after those stupid banners.

^ 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!

Hopefully.

He is not good enough and should leave in the summer. If results are any worse over the next month then he should be fired.

It is embarrassing that this squad of players is struggling for a top 4 finish.

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

We've changed managers enough, we find a manager that wins us the double and you want to change him? The fickleness of some of our fans is embarrassing.

[Madmax 9,219]

No.

[Term-X 7,891]

If we fail to finish top 4 at the end of the season, then yes.

[J.F. 1,484]

Who will replace him, if Carlo go out?

We were the best team in England last year by a considerable distance and scraped to the league by a single point.

It is not fickle he is just isn't good enough and should be replaced by a more competent manager.

We have lost 7 games this year and endured our worst run of form for 14 years. Are you not at all worried that lesser teams like Arsenal, City and Utd are constantly getting better results? That can only be down to mis-management.

His time should be up in the summer.

[King11Didier 916]

Mourinho.

Emenalo.

Well Rafa's looking for a return...

And whose gana wana replace a manager who won the double,went through a dodgy stage and then got shown the door.Be worried for your job soon as a bad result came through

Funny nothing was said when we were winning...

[Tomo 21,751]

Could not disagree more.

He delivered the double in his 1st season not only that but producing some of the best free flowing football ive ever seen us play.

We have had a poor few months in general but we aint the 1st big team to lose at home to Liverpool (it would not suprise me in the slightest if they win at the Emirates with Dalglish incharge), but in the long term i think Carlo is more than the right man for the job.

The end of last season and start of this proved that when Ancelotti teams click there frightening.and can produce all sorts of numbers of goals.

Its not King Carlo thats the problem its the multi-million players that cant be fucked.

[Shane 2,275]

No.

Jose Mourinho

[J.F. 1,484]

Mourinho.

He left because of Abramovich, so there is no way that he is going back to Chelsea.
