Peace. 4,352 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 No no that part of my reply to you was just a general comment. And I didn't mean those who criticize him = want him to be sacked. Criticism is okay. But I feel like a lot of it is premature because we're 10 games into the season, he's two years into management. Lets wait and see what he does first because he is not a stupid man, he will realize that his ideas don't all work and he will have to tweak themOkay.Even though I am criticizing him and I say he made mistakes, I thought he was the right man for the job from day one, and I still think so. And, I still want him around here for a long time. But as the saying goes in french, we gotta call a cat a cat, ie the mercato wasn't good enough (amongs other things).

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I think we're a bit unfair on Anton.He's admitted he didn't hear anything. However he's said Terry's version is different, about Anton accusing him first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnie_666 1,081 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Will goto del bosque. But I think AvB deserves it Cus winning a quadruple is no easy/ordinary feat. And he did it in style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he did it in style.Agreed what AVB was exceptional but it'a a shame for him that it coincided with a World Cup year. Think AVB does deserve it though.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 On the Terry incident, it looked more like he said Blind then Black - but still was said in the heat of the moment. But, as to AVB and this stuff about him having a go at the players - which really wouldn't be bad. We need someone who draws the line between friend and someone to trust, and the boss - and i think AVB is the type of person to do that. And he was right to have a go at them, and to ask for improvement against both Genk and Blackburn. The fact Spuds is just three points behind and with a game in hand is a sick thought enough!

I would get this kind of thing in a crucial match in Cl final stages, but not against Everton in a Curling Cup match, or after scoring the 4th goal against a low table side.

eldo 868 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 He must stop to act like a stupid clown every time Chelsea scores a goal.He always did that. Porto fans loved that, I guess they are not moaners.Speaking of Porto, they miss him, their midfield isn't the same as last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the set up of Romeu, Meireles & Ramires. However I think he realised there was no 'playmaker', hence bringing on Lampard & Mata.They were good subs.

Kojo 4,676 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I'm going to say this, and I hope it doesn't come back in my face, but could AVB build a great team with stability? Romeu, AVB has always wanted him, even at Porto, and to us he looks brilliant too, do he looks like he's good at picking the players he wants for his team, if he spends a lot in January or June do you think we could have a very powerful team?. Romeu is gelling really well, just imagine if we had more and better players like him for different positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 if he spends a lot in January or June do you think we could have a very powerful team?.He brought in 3 players with him; Romeu, Raul and Matador, and they've all impressed.Based on these i'll say very likely.* i don't consider Lukaku an AVB buy, he was always going to join Chelsea regardless of the manager.
