SAD NEWS: Everton coach and players highly embarrassed by recent scandal…
Everton have lost nine Premier League matches at Goodison Park this season, leaving them with the sixth worst home record in the division.
Bottom-half sides Newcastle, Fulham and Burnley had all won on the blue half of Merseyside before already-relegated Sheffield United joined that list.
Ancelotti said of the latest setback for his side: “It’s really difficult. I have to take the responsibility for this, of course, but I hope the players also take responsibility for this. I am really embarrassed.
“Fortunately we have supporters at home for the next game and I hope they wake us up because I think we need to wake up at home.
“It is really difficult to explain what is going on here at home.”
Ancelotti went on to question the quality of his players and suggested he may look to improve his squad in the summer.
“We don’t have players with strong personality with the ball,” he added. “We are a team with different characteristics and are more direct.
“One of the technical reasons for this poor run is that, when we try to build up from the back, we have difficulty and are a bit slow because we don’t have the confidence with the ball compared to the confidence we have without it.
“We try to play more attacking football, but it didn’t work as well as the direct attack and counterattack in the away games.
“This has never happened. Usually when you have difficulties in periods at home or away but then you react. This season has been really bad at home and a great reaction away.
“We need to look at this for next season and maybe try to have a better squad.”
