And then was easily figured out and countered and then changed tactics again.
I thought the balls from James Rodriguez to Richarlison would be a weapon but they dried up quickly.
...on the basis of that good month we had in empty stadiums in Autumn 2020.
The football in his last few months was utterly dire and he jumped ship as soon as the opportunity arose, leaving us with some disinterested high earners like Allan and James to try and move on.
Ancelotti has turned out to be an incredibly damaging appointment.
i just picked a random game
1 nil defeat at home to Sheff Utd in May 2021
James, Richarlison, DCL, Digne, Doucoure all started
Sigurdsson and Bernard came on as sub
Absolute riches comapared to what Dyche has to work with
...that was more a reflection of the paucity of the squad options that Ancelotti had to work with.
Don't forget, he had us top of the table and flying early on, and gradually the injuries kicked in - particularly Rodriguez frequently limping out of action - and we had little or nothing to come in and 'do a job' for us.
And down the table we subsequently slid.
Who knows what could have been achieved had we kept at least the key players fit for more of the season.
and he had Richarlison, James, DCL, Iwobi, Sigurdsson and Digne to work with - and a combined £40m wage bill for those 6 alone not to mention the £12m he was being paid !
We also scored only 13 goals in our last 18 games under Ancelotti
