The truth is: paying 15m to get an unproven 33 years old manager and giving him a 3 years contract was the biggest mistakes of all.

And Im really tired of this same old stupid talk...

Hulk is a right winger. Cavani is not that similar to Falcao. He is much more agile than the colombian.

Really really bad points. What Cavani has to do with Sturridge ? Both can play together. We cant sit and wait "oh, Sturridge can become a superb striker". Ok, if he become a superb striker good for us, then we have a squad with two superb strikers, but this kind of argument "we cant buy this player, because if he comes Sturridge or Josh wont develop" is not valid. That doesnt make sense. Messi developed at Barcelona even tough they had Ronaldinho at that time. And sorry, right now Napoli is not weaker than Chelsea. Even if that was true, whats the point ? Our best signings in last 6 or 7 years were players coming from "weaker" clubs ( Didier, Lampard, Carvalho, Essien, Cech ) while our signings from top clubs were, besides Ballack, big flops ( Shevchenko, Deco, Torres ). Buying Cavani would be part of transition: finally buying a really good striker in years.

the question is: until when ?

gimme a break. I understand why some people think Chelsea fans know very little about the game.

Of course he will not be sacked for now, but If this form continue trhough the season and we find ourselfs in 6th, 7th position do you think that Roman will still believe he is the right man for the job? December and january will be a decisive moment for the portuguese coach.

I said in another topic "axe on VB". I was angry in that time because of the defeat. Of course its too early to say ask AVB to leave. But there is a big problem with the portuguese coach: nobody knows what he really is. I don't think that winning the portuguese league and Europe League makes him a great manager. Lets remember that Rafa Benitez won La Liga with Valencia and also the the Europe League ( UEFA Cup ), before winning UCL in his first season with Liverpool. I think its much more difficult to win La Liga with Valencia than winning portuguese league with Porto. Some people here have a idealist vision of VB, you know, he is young, is supposed to play attacking football is portuguese and learned how to be a manager with Mourinho, the combination of Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, the perfect manager. The big question is: if our form continue that bad, how an unproven 33 years old manager will convince the fans, the board, the owner and the players that he is the right man for the job?

"AVB is a fantastic manager." - there is nothing to suggest that yet. He only had one superb season in Portugal, and in PL he is far from being fantastic. "With right players and the exuberance of our young manager, there would be no stopping Chelsea in a season or two." - humm "Fergie went three seasons without winning anything in the process grooming the lethal combo of Ronaldo and Rooney and the rest is history." - thats right. They did not win anything, but they ended in 3th, 3th and 2nd in PL, and their place in top 4 was never in jeopard, you cant say the same about our current situation and Fersgunson is a proven manager in the high level. "Look at Mancini at Man City. The team is flying." - City was a team that used to end up in 10th position in PL, the italian's job was pretty decent, there was no reason to sack him, and Mancini was already a proven manager in a big european league. He won Seria A when Milan had a much more expensive team. "The games we are losing are due to individual errors." - we are losing due to tactical erros. Our defensive system against MU was a mess, and it also happened today. Despite the initial minutes of second half, when Sturridge scored, we played really bad. "At the moment we dont have the horses for courses. " - so why in the hell he is trying to force his expansive and exuberant football ? "The key is patience." - VB is a gamble, he is not a proven manager, he is not one of the best in the world yet, the big question is, where we will end up with this patience ? "back the manager and assume this season as one for transition. " - the problem is that the manager himself doesnt see this season as one for transition, otherwise he would think "ok, lets build the bases for the future, lets play Josh, so he get used to the big games, lets try to make Sturridge + Torres a strong patnership in the attack". NO !, he plays Malouda and Drogba. Players that according to you will leave in the end of the season. What kind of transition is that?

I agree that Terry is not the same that he was years ago, but I think he is suffering under ABV "tactics", he is decent enough to still be a starting XI while we keep a strong defence. It comes to my post in another topic, we cant change out playing style if we dont chance our players. Since our player are almost the same as it was last season, it doesnt make sense trying to make a revolution.

The big problem with AVB is that he doesnt realize that we dont have Barcelona players, he is trying to do stupid things with this squad, thats why our defence system is a mess. What is he trying to do with a midfielder with Ramires - Mikel - Lampard ? Beautiful and offensive football? When our two main striker both have only 3 goals together in all games in PL ? when we dont have winger ? what is he thinking ?

We conceded 17 goals yet. Under Mourinho it was 15 the entire season.

Villas Boas was a gamble. Now we know he is a disaster. Our defensive system is a total chaos, defeats for Liverpool and Arsenal at home. Call me glory hunter, dickhead or whatever you want...axe on Villas Boas.

even Scolari could do better than VB.

If you want compare VB with Guardiola, you are a joke.

You are the one that said VB was better than Guardiola in every aspect, so how you dare to call anyone stupid?

Why Didier is still doing on the pitch?

Sturridge!!!! You fucking nigga!!!!!!

And dont say Im only saying this because we are losing. Why in the hell he would choose Malouda and Didier for this game? How he expect the team to get a pattern when he is always changing?

Another stupid line-up by AVB. Stupid coach.

People still ask why I think Mikel is such an awful player.

This argument doesnt make sense. Its not his fault that the defender gave him space. Messi also has a lot of space in La Liga, but I dont know why some people keep saying he would strugle in PL after he humiliated Chelsea defenders in Stamford Bridge when he was even weaker than know, and after he did the same with MU in London months ago. Of course that when a player has space he can do the things easier, but it doesnt mean he wont be able to do with a harder pressure.

AVB in despair...

70m

His new buy out clause is só high that no club in the world will play it for a 19 years old.
