Carlo Ancelotti would like to talk about Crosby

Obviously an exceptional man-manager, a charismatic leader who can inspire. He's certainly inspiring the players at the moment, and in turn, us.

Carlo Ancelotti, is a man who has seen and done almost everything in football, but he hasn’t seen how Evertonians celebrate winning a trophy yet, so he’s saved the best till the last, Hopefully!

I think we have a manager who gives a damn, about all sorts of things and we will be beneficiaries.

I guarantee it would be much more enjoyable to share some chianti and gorgonzola with Carlo than to crack open the Heineken and Edam with Ronald.

There are, in Ancelotti’s worldview, two types of club: company clubs and family clubs. He has, it is no surprise to learn, largely worked at company clubs. There, the job is to arrive and to win.

At family clubs, the task is different. “It is to build something, to leave your stamp on a team,” he said. “You live better, work better in a family club. You can be more yourself. The target for every manager is to train the top teams. But also to fight to build a top team can be a great motivation.”

He'll catch up with you mate. You know stuff he doesn't. He may have been in all of Europe's top stadiums, but if he wants a first-hand account of how the window was broken at Marine. He's knows he's going to have to talk to you.

I am a little nonplussed by that statement. The will to build a good side, a top side in his image, is there... but not necessarily to build a winning side? A family club has different aims, for sure: nicer to work for... but – hasn't that been a problem for decades?

Crosby and the whole north west coast line, is something to be proud of, and I walk and fish there regularly especially along FA Road, - Hall Road, as some of us not so lucky anglers call it.

But like in football you get you good and bad days when fishing.

A long way to go, but the team has got some belief. Yesterday was some game but, Everton for once got the luck that’s deserted them, for decades.

Let’s hope also there’s a good solution in line for Richarlison suspension.
