Why Chelsea FC Should Back Carlo Ancelotti

After more than a month of poor results and our worst run in over ten years some impatience fans have started to question about Carlo Ancelotti and his suitability as manager of the club.

If you are in one of those people here are some points that should be considered.

But prior to all that I have some key points to make in case you have forgotten, Carlo Ancelotti is one of the most successful and experienced managers in the game.

Last season he led us to

He led Chelsea to the league and cup double for the first time in our history.
Our biggest ever top flight victory
To scoring the most goals ever scored by any club in one season
Only second overseas manager to win the league in his first season (after Jose Mourinho)

Football is a team game.

Its the normal fan tendency to blame the manager when result are not in the favor of the team you support. But by doing so people forget that football is team game and players, manager and all the technical staff is jointly responsible for the performance of the club.

Let it be a win, lose or a draw, managers do not get the appreciation they deserve when the team is winning as the plaudits fall to the key players.

I am not blaming the fans for this but they should also remember that when team wins it wins with the same players as when it loses. So pointing your finger only to the manager is not the sign of a balanced fan (if you ask me)

Every team suffers poor form.

No great team in the world will always be having the good time after time, every now and then bad time comes. I agree that this time our bad run has prolonged but it also happens. Its part and parcel of the game. You will never stay on top nor you will always hit the bottom. and that’s why this game is interesting.
