Everton fans have been reacting on Twitter following a tactical piece by The Liverpool Echo on potential new manager Carlo Ancelotti.The Telegraph reported earlier this week that the 60-year-old is the board's first-choice to succeed Marco Silva following his departure earlier this month, with the Italian said to be open to a move back to England having been Chelsea boss previously.The Liverpool Echo points out that the three-times Champions League winner likes to play formations that include two strikers, as Duncan Ferguson did in his opening match as caretaker boss last weekend.In addition, he clearly likes his team to get efforts away on goal given Napoli took the most shots, had the second-highest xG and scored the second-highest number of goals last season, as per the tactical analysis.The report also adds that from his preferred use of two strikers, he likes one to work hard across he line and the other to be a goalscorer.Did he play for Everton? Simple question but a lot tougher than you think... Everton supporters certainly seem interested in what Ancelotti could bring to Goodison Park should he get the job, with many seemingly happy that he would be a good fit.

One individual seemed particularly pleased about the formation insight seeing as Everton played so well against Chelsea last weekend playing 4-4-2, rather than the 4-2-3-1 system Silva often preferred during his reign on Merseyside.

Another chose to focus on what the analysis meant for striker Moise Kean, who has endured a difficult time following his summer move from Juventus - he has only played 449 minutes of football this term.

However, the fact that Ancelotti likes to play two up top with a goalscorer - the 19-year-old showed with eight goals in 21 games for Juventus he is capable of being that - could be a blessing in disguise for the youngster. He appears to be behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison in the pecking order right now, but this could be the change he needs to get his career with the Merseyside team back on track.
