My patience for AVB is really running out of time. I'm a blue at heart, but it's hard making time to watch these matches on FSC or FSP. There is no club chemistry at all. That's due in part to the manager. Look at how Liverpool play for Dalglish. They have no where near the quality and class we have and yet they play their hearts out and get a victory. For a manager to succeed at a club like Chelsea he needs to be larger than life. While I believe his tactics of a different side every match are trying to enforce this larger than life perspective it's the wrong tactics. We spent 50 million euros on Torres. We knew he thrives solo up top with a player such as Mata(?) free floating just behind. While AVB is making clear he cares for winning he's still looking like an idiot by not having a set side. Torres is 27 and has looked great when put in the right situations. Drogba, Anelka, and Malouda have been great for our club over the years, but their age led to the purchases of Mata and Torres. We have to do something new up front with the future of the club. AVB seems to me to be on equal level with his players. As he tries to make everyone happy with a rotation. We all knew one day Drogba, Anelka, and Malouda would be replaced. Why should we lose matches while trying to make a transition to exciting football once again? And The selfish Sturridge is not the answer. His selfish play is seen over and over again. How I wish we would have sold him to Bolton. Change the damn formation fit to the players we just bought and keep it that way. Torres was not a waste of money. He's not being used to the ways he's always thrived. It'll upset some of our Chelsea greats but hey, nothing lasts forever and these players and AVB need to see this. The back 4 is also in shambles. Alex is left out of the side?? Luiz is not a stable CB. So move him to right back and let him run up the pitch like a Sergio Ramos or a Maicon and bring Alex back into the first 11. Ivanovic is a great defender to have for when someone needs rest or has a red card. But he's not the solution at right back. He's clumsy, and doesn't have the pace needed on the outside. Midfielders can be rotated. And sometimes defenders can too, but forwards can't. Play a 4-4-1-1 and hell offset the midfield and call it a 4-2-2-1-1 to appear to be more creative. Just change this garbage of never knowing who's getting the start. I like the old winning ways at Stamford Bridge. Bc I promise if we don't start using Torres and Mata the right way someone like AC Milan or Inter or even the crap Arsenal or Spurs will jump in and get them. A set side needs set and it needs to be done soon. Like today,
