Starting to think Ancelotti is a bit washed up tbh. Seems to get very little out of the players at his disposal, albeit one of them is having an outstanding season, I’ll accept that.

Everton played some great football under Martinez, I’d argue he has done a far better job than Carlo, on a much smaller budget.
 
like I said, beat him once.

so who are saying he is a good manager, taken you a while. Like I said, at this time he is the best you can hope for until the PL approve the takeover.

All the media and pundits are saying it I'm sure the big clubs will be looking at him given he's doing so well

I can’t disagree with you. Big fan of a bobby Brown Shoes. He is just lucky now that the players he has in defence play the exact system he uses for internationals as they Do at club level. He will be back one day.
Tobes isn’t a fan.

LOL, no.

Martinez had a really good first season, but because he inherited a defence that was brilliantly drilled by Moyes. He added a more attacking style and we got 72 points. A tally that in most years would have got CL togger, but saw us 5th.

However, then it rapidly turned to ****. The defensive drilling that he simply didn’t do (they didn’t even practice defending corners ffs) had an impact, and we were dogshit. He’d lost the dressing room about a year before he was finally shot. If it wasn’t for Lukaku we’d have probably gone down.

Carlo inherited a disjointed squad with the spine of a jellyfish. He’s only had 1 window ffs and has spent about £60m nett. We’re far improved already, but he’ll need another 2 windows to truly make it his squad.

Realistically, if Carlo didn't come in do you think you'd have gone down?

Agree with that, Don Carlo aint doing **** with Everton, if top four is his goal it ain't gonna happen, certainly not this season.

I reckon they finish 12th

Big Dunc had steadied the ship after we ****ed off Silva, but we’d have been far closer to the drop without Carlo. Our form after he arrived last season was just off the top 4, with a side that had no right being anywhere near that level.

His signings have been spot on so far, but the drop in form when we lost Richarlison for 3 games, showed just how lacking in quality the squad is. Our first XI is now capable of giving anyone a game, but the squad is nowhere near strong enough to withstand the injuries / suspensions you’re bound to get during a 38 game season.

Everton are better now simple as that...

Everton suffered only through injuries and suspension so agree one or two windows and they'll be a force
