He is the first & sometimes the only player to come over and apologise to fans after a bad performance, he takes defeat the same way the fans do.

Agree with this. AVB needs to show that players like Terry, Lampard & Drogba are not above the club. In a way I will be glad when the players from the days of Jose have moved on & we can finally move on as a club. It feels like Jose still has a hold over the team in some way. AVB needs to build his own team & needs to have the balls to sell players that have been a big part of the club in the past 7 years or so.

Yep he'll look a twat if he's sacked at the end of the season. If he's done it without Roman's backing I can't imagine Roman will be too happy.

Just enough time for him to make as little impact & receive abuse from the scousers.

Tough love hey?

AVB has been quoted saying Roman will not sack him. Making me think that he's been given the reassurance of time to build his own squad by Roman, I can't see him saying something like that without backing from Roman.

The high line doesn't suit JT as he's always lacked pace in his game, he's not past it, he's just not 25 anymore. Resting him the same way Lampard has been rested is the key to keeping him at his best. He's not superman anymore, we used to think nothing would phase him or keep him out of the game too long. But now it's taking it's toll on his body & his mind with the allegations against him.

Done mate

I think we're all ready to admit now that massive changes are needed. The Jose spine worked great when Jose was here but those players are getting on & are not the class they once were. Players like Drogba, Malouda, Anelka should be sold. Lamps should play a lesser role as should JT, they shouldn't get in the team because they are captain & vice captain. Terry's antics are always keeping us in the media spotlight in a negative way. The younger players are coming through but there's still too much deadwood in the squad. Tbh I'm looking forward to major changes in the team in the future. We need to go back to the team that had 2 world class players for every position. Younger players need to be given the chance when the older players are just not good enough anymore. We can't keep living on past glories, Jose has been & gone, time for AVB to make his own spine.

He needs a rest in the lesser games tbh. He's been playing nearly every game and doing twice as much running as other players.

Yeah, I think it's down to the heavy traffic on the site atm.

There was part of me that wanted to predict a loss, just couldn't bring myself to do it.

That's the problem with greed, Chelsea fans want it all but they need to realise that can't have it both ways.

Good post. Agreed, if fans cannot take the defeats or the rough patches then they are not real fans. I'm behind AVB all the way but what he's trying to do with the team at the moment isn't working. I hope he can see that and changes things.

I can't think of anything worse.

I'm going to sign off & bang my head off a wall, only thing for it.
