Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I think yesterday's draw, unlike the one at wigan where the players were not even trying, has to be AVB's fault. He got his tactics all wrong for the first half: We were sitting too deep allowing them to pass the ball in the back with no pressure on murphy who had the ball more than any one else on the field, and most annoyingly, we had all of our back four marki ng their single lone striker which meant we were attacking with 4 men(Romeu and Raul rarely advanced in the first half), while they were defending with 10 men (you do the math).

But in the second half, AVB did every thing right in term of tactics and substitutions. I can't blame him for taking bossingwa off, if I were the manager I would've taken him off after the first cross he put in. But in the end it was a group of individual errors that cost us the goal and the win.

Bosingwa was taken off because he was injured. It wasn't a tactical sub to take him off.

There was one incident where the ball went out for a throw-in and AVB went to pick the ball up to pass it to Bosingwa.But Bosingwa was walking over really slowly and AVB got pissed off on the touchline. He was vigorously gesturing at Bosingwa to walk faster. But Bosingwa told him that he was injured. This was about 5 minutes before the substitution

However I was furious that he put Ferreira on rather than make an attacking sub

It was an attacking sub. Ferreira spent all his time on the pitch in Fullham's half, he was practically playing a wingers role. AVB could not have brought on Kalou because we already had 2 striker on the field and needed someone to cross from the right.

I get what you mean but personally I'd rather have seen Kalou come on than Ferreira

i Will give AVB plenty of time if i will know that we will win the CL in the next 3 years...

The manager is responsible for picking out the team and motivating them. Clearly it hasn't happened against Wigan and Fulham.

You shouldn't need motivation to beat those teams. They're shit, the players should be able to put in a good enough performance without the need to be motivated. I mean, fucking hell, isn't £150,000 a week a big enough incentive?

Came across these -

[warnie_666 1,081]

AVB is as confused as a hamster in a maze.....

[warnie_666 1,081]

Playing an out an out striker on the wings.....has no clue what formation he is playing, no sense in the subs, no tactics, no nothing.

Watching Torres make the play made me cringe.....thats either desperation from the manager or just dumb tactics....

This is it. I have lost my patience on AVB....

Fucking clueless.......he has been exposed in the big league....

[LDN Blue 7,903]

And so it begins..

[Laylabelle 9,359]

And so it begins..

Lol here we go again....

[blue out west 27]

AVB isnt confused

he was brought in to establish a sexy football style

this is the ARROGANCE of modern football

the idea that you can win and 'play sexy'

well, good thing that we have finally got a manager who is not negative and direct like Jose...!

roman, you are so arrogant. we should have never gone without Jose. now our club is a laughing stock

our style of play does not suit our players at all

[warnie_666 1,081]

And so it begins..

You would never see me blaming the manager. But this does it for me. Torres making the plays.....

[Hd123 5]

Here it is again. People are going to make valid complaints on the manager and others will whine while defending the saviour with blind faith.

Performances under Mourinho, Hiddink or Carlo were never this bad. Hell, even Grant and Scolari had better shouts than AVB.
