He could make me eat my words, but from what I’ve seen so far I don’t expect Carlo Ancelotti to make it as Chelsea boss all way to the end the season.
His midfield diamond does not look suited to Chelsea at all, and you’d think he would have realized this from the Community Shield match against Manchester United, and would have adjusted this tactic to suit the team.
In both matches they have played so far, against United and Hull City they have looked very narrow, and especially against Hull looked lacking in the width needed to break teams down.
You may think I’m crazy seeing as Chelsea have won 2 games out of 2; a perfect 100% record for the new manager. But Chelsea have the players and mentality to get results no matter what the tactics, and this is what they have done so far. But this will not work week in week out, and nor will Roman Abramovich accept it week in week out.
The problem with some of the managers that Chelsea have signed is they are “big name” managers, who all come with their specific way of doing things, and everyone has to follow that way. Instead of tayloring their tactics to suit the players.
