Lets be honest, so far AVB hasn't exactly had the easiest times but the philosophy he is trying to lay down is better in less physical leagues like La Liga and Seria were ball manipulation is used more ahead of physical strength and even though we haven't played great we've managed a win today. If you look at Man Utd last year, they won the league as they were able to grind out results against the lower teams that were holding them/beating them, we are going to have to be able to do the same to mount a title challenge and today we managed to grind out a decent result. Also, it is too early for AVB to be judged and imo he is a top manager, I don't think Rom would splash out £13.5 mil to take in a completely average manager, even though he is rich it just seems stupid.
