Fans of Everton have been reacting to backroom staff additions after interview footage was posted to the club’s Twitter account.
The interview footage in which each of the new staff members introduced themselves gave Everton fans the chance to ‘meet the newest members’ of Carlo Ancelotti’s backroom team (as per Everton), which had some fans reacting positively.

Over the duration of Ancelotti’s tenure at Everton since late December, the Toffees have won five, drawn three and lost four of his 11 games in charge (per Transfermarkt).
However, following the 4-0 defeat to Chelsea last time out (per BBC), some supporters were feeling much more negative towards the interview footage from the club.
Players should spend less time in the gym and more time on a football pitch

Can you get the video analysis bloke to check on Siggurdsons performance from Sunday? I’m not sure if my VHS is stuck or whether he didn’t move during the game.

Is there going to be a head of “Lack of effort” or “stopping embarrassing performances”?

Does that mean we’ve got rid of a lot too? 1 bad defeat and Carlo gets loads new staff in ?

What do we think?
As can be judged from the responses, Everton fans seem a little split on this one, with some thinking it is a good thing and others not being completely sure on them.
However, with the depth that football coaches go into behind the scenes (via World Soccer) any staff additions that can help give clarity to Ancelotti’s job can only really be a good thing.
