eldo 868 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 No. I meant WTF. As in WTF does that have to do with us?Well you dislike the diamond and Carlo. But that a manager of Jose's qualities used it means something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Jose doing it with us a few times and we looked awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EskWeston 696 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The only questions we need to ask regarding Carlo is:1. Can he turn around the way we are playing for the rest of the season?2. Given the chance to add to his squad in the summer will we see improvement next season?If Carlo is unable in any way to turn around the way we are playing for the rest of the season then you have to question if he should stay for next season. I like Carlo a lot but it is becomming very frustrating to see us play so poorly so regulary and see little inspiration off the bench.

The antithesis of Mourinho or Ferguson however. Never challenges the footballing authorities, or referees decisions, Never plays any mind games.I'm thinking winning managers need a ruthless, almost nasty streak, and vehement defence of their players and last season as with Grant he inherited the Rolls Royce......

Tomo 21,751 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yes Carlo has made a few mistakes but he took over a squad that was getting on and managed to squeeze a double out of it, that took all his expierence.What frustrates me is IMO this squad peaked out in 08/09 and i still think what might have been if we had Hiddink all season, it would not have suprised me if we won the league surpassing Jose's record points tally if we had Guus (or even Carlo for that matter) all season IMHO Evrey great team suffer a season or 2 in transition and if we thought we were immune from that we are mental.Bayern 06-07Man.Utd 03-06Arsenal 05-presentBarcelona 06-08Lets hope its more of a Bayern transition than a Arsenal one.

When he first arrived here, as the young gunslinger who has come into town to challenge the sheriff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve5221 91 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 True he is a nice guy but i don't think he has it tactically. Look at last season in the champs league at the Bridge against Inter, when we were crying out for something different. He and Wilkins looked confused and clueless on the bench. Yes getting rid of Wilkins has hurt us and it was not Carlo's decision but he should be doing better. Losing 7 league games already this season(the same number as Birmingham) is just not acceptable. He turned it round last year but I think his luck has ran out. If you consider what previous managers have been sacked for surely he is on borrowed time.

Ollie 4,400 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The difference between Carlo and Jose is that when things are going shit, Jose knows why it's going shit and what to do about it. Carlo's Chelsea team looks resigned to losing or not winning if things aint going so well at the start/middle of the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spuz 143 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Ancelotti: I only want to coach team in the Champions LeagueNot 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.

Peace. 4,352 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Ancelotti: I only want to coach team in the Champions LeagueIt 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'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeannie 6 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Looks like Ancelotti is on his way out ( if afforded comments are truth!)Who is the problem though?

HRiver 1,512 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Wait until we lose to Kopenhagen? There is no way we can beat them, and with this sort of performance, luck, or whatever it may be, we can never ever win the Champions League. We've been better but we haven't managed to win it, we're not going to win it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Hate Scouse 10,327 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 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.Time for me to start getting fickle and embarrassing I think. His tactics are beyond me, woeful!
