oh fuck, so the clown scored then?

Mourinho was the main chef or was Abramovich? I clearly remember Roman fucking him off, he was given "bad eggs" and even the best cook can't turn shit into bread.

it can be both, one doesn't exclude the other We didn't expect an equalizer, that is the concern. It's nice that it came, but we can't live off of flukes all season.

I realize it's not only the manager's fault, if you read my posts before I have given in depth analysis of what I think may be the problems. But I'm expressing my concern over what I think AVB is doing wrong (in his thread I'm not gonna talk about anything else), and I think he needs to be stricter and more straightforward. That's it.

Not only individuals, but the team and its performance.. "bad eggs", "not good enough" he said more than once.

you high? you think AVB is doing it out of spite to prove a point to Roman? the point was well taken by him which is why he sacked Carlo and brought in a young AVB. That is the most ridiculous definition to a transition I've seen, sorry, "we are playing old players to prove a point".

Sometimes criticizing on all fronts works better... It will hurt more if it goes public, some might not care what he says to them privately, because it doesn't hurt their public ego and image. I can imagine what Mancini or Mourinho would have said after a performance like this, with it not being the first one, but a single game in a sequence of many shit games.

Are you blind? Only him? Read the forum, everybody gets their fair share of stick... of course in this thread only him, because it has his name in the title.

Hence the next season will be a transition, not this

Service excuse is an excuse to some extent, but not this far... There are many players who have scored more this season than him with the same teammates and same service around them, and those players include midfielders and a defender. We had a consensus on this forum that January is a make or break period for him, or at least until Drogba returns. He has broken. When will Drogba return? It can't be long, can it?

It was going to be, it should have been, but it isn't.. even AVB himself admitted that. There is no hiding behind the transition excuse. "There is no running away from our responsibilities," said Villas-Boas. "There is no calling this a year of transition, no calling for time to do our work." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/15813784.stm

well, not only him, but yeah. they say commentators made fun of him, can't confirm that since I watched it with dutch comments.

Agreed, although Abramovich should have started showing patience earlier

The thing that bugs me the most is that he constantly praises this bunch of sloths and even rewards them with a free trip to Mallorca.. How on earth are they going to learn from that?

the hell with it, throw him in deep next game, who gives a shit... he can't be worse than anybody atm. he scores against Utd and goes on to be a superstar, he fails miserably and ends up like everybody else in our youth.. either way, win-"win" situation.

Even with him we are disorganized. We are the best with Terry, Lamps and Drogba on the pitch, no contest... Lipton was right all along.

If he plays Ferreira I will officially start an AVB out campaign

agreed

That counter attack we had today in the end with him fucking it up was hilarious... it's hard to achieve something that is sad and funny at the same time. Don't offend gays!

yes, we played well against a motivated and dedicated team, that must be hard for us because we possess neither of those qualities... in that sense, I agree with AVB.

Yeah, even I didn't celebrate (and god knows that's a bad sign).

Naah we should not give up on him, I mean come on... look how good he was in the past, that surely makes his present and future bright as fuck

Everything was shit, even our goal was shit. This is as lucky 1 pts as you can get, we deserved to lose. We don't need any signings eh, AVB? I said before we were worse than Liverpool, correction, we are on the level of Blackburn.

AVB himself admitted this season isn't a transition, therefore I can't see how anyone can claim this is a transitional season

we are worse than Liverpool
