I'm sure you're intelligent enough to realise that even trying to give a characterisation based on his 5 months here is unwise.* To answer your question: Yes, I'd suggest that we keep him for another full season not to see whether he's good or shit but because we got bigger issues (squad) to tackle (than continuing our never-ending quest for picking the perfect manager). *The same was true for Scolari. Come to think of it, I know that this argument is uncharacteristically irrational and probably weak but since it all boils down to our opinions I'll be straightforward about being more confident in AVB (and probably excited) that I ever was in Carletto.

Some of the dogshit that is being posted here is worse than our performance, who would have thought?

Maybe AVB would rather place his hopes on whatever link-up play Drogba is capable of rather than Torres' finishing .

I'm struck by the flu so this will be the first time I'll get the chance to watch all 90 minutes of a Chelsea CL game in quite a while. How many points do we need to make the first place of the group ours?

I am not one to prohibit anyone from criticizing whoever his wishes nor do I believe that having been absent for two months (btw sorry about that, busy times) I could have possibly analyzed our problems more thoroughly that you guys but I can't fathom how giving the boot to AVB would be beneficial. In our last few games we've seen how painfully finished some of our players are and we've been let down by individuals far too many times to blame our gameplan or the coach. $0,2

That's all he said?

If this wasn't a mere league game I would have broken something.

If this isn't the last day of his life this better be the last game of his career.

Own goal?

.

1 down. 4 to go.

Is this a CL game?

Had Torres been playing he would have scored 2 own-goals. That's how wrong it's going for us at the moment. Need a hell of a performance from then remaining 9..

First correct decision. Fucking ref.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

Apologies for dropping in like that but I'd greatly appreciate some streaming links.

I thought proper football would never come back.

FFS can't believe I missed such a win after being late. Thanks Justin!

Lord that's too bad even if your Shift key is broken.

I'm not sure I grasp the concept of a player deserving sympathy after being nothing but horseshit for over 5 years while earning MILLIONS, playing for one of the biggest football clubs in the world and enjoying all the perks of being a professional football player at the highest level. If anything the fans deserve a break instead of him.

How exactly is he a poor guy?

Good old resorting to stats, don't we just love that? Especially when the same people who'd rather dig up stats than trust their own eyes and football intelligence consistently ignore that the vast majority of those goals were tap-ins in games that were already killed off. I'm not sure you even realize that the Stoke game that you mentioned was won by 7 (seven) goals and Kalou's supposedly vital hat-trick was a result of two tap-ins the much maligned Emile Heskey would have scored and a point-blank header.

Too good to be true.

God Tomo this is getting old. If Kalou's ass sums up his Chelsea career then this sums up his Chelsea goals that you go on about
