termninja 5,290 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 AVB fighting to save his Chelsea careerhttp://www.mirrorfoo...icle861467.htmlMeh it's their usual speculation...nothing new in that dumb article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 It’s been suggested the ‘Special One’ will consider a return if he is given full control of the club, but the Russian has confided to close friends it’s not an option he is prepared to consider.Seeing an article claim "close friends" of Abramovich would speak to the press just after what looks like one of the most desperate attempts to get a photograph of the man gives a great image of just how real all stories about anything Roman thinks are.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I love the fact he can see that this, his team, is a project and that he acknowledges our fault whilst still having the enthuism for glory - it is a good indication for the future, and maybe a way to motivate the players. Also, to see he can see the 'team-play' Nando does as well is good, but maybe he should be looking more into the tactics and midfeild rather then the striker.

Peace. 4,352 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 http://soccernet.esp...mocracy?cc=5739On the one hand, I think it is wise form him to involve the players in all kind of decisions (about football matters). But on the second hand, it might have worked very well at Porto, because of the players he had, but here it isn't the same situation, players' power is too much heavy, and our squad is filled with multi-millionaires with big ego. Ask Lampard, Malouda and Drogba whether they want to play, off course they'll say they want to play, no matter what their form are. Ask players who have played for three or more years in a 4-3-3 if they want to change the formation, they will say no ! Ask them to change completely their style of playing, i.e. to go from a side pass and slow built-up game to a fast tempo game, of course they will be recalcitrant.After reading this, no wonder his effort to instil a high tempo in this team (fast tempo which we have seen against United) has failed and now we play like last year.He shouldn't ask those spoiled brats.

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Decision to take off Sturridge for Romeu instead of Malouda was puzzling, if not laughably bad. Malouda did nothing today to warrant remaining on the pitch longer than Sturridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Got most of the things spot on imo. I didn't agree with the selection of Bosingwa over Bertrand, but let it be then, he's the boss and knows better. It's just a bad message to Ryan.Now I don't get people who blame him for that draw. First of all, there were 2 soft penalties.. does he control his players with a gamepad? I don't think so. Does he have control over the referee's view on things? Doubt it. Although what's with his substitutes lately? I think he made only 1 sub today, while Essien was visibly knackered. And Malouda stays on while Sturridge leaves? Oh well, I don't blame only him for today.... I think defensively and in attack we were much more organized and better than we've been against the shit lower ranked teams. Things could have gone much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall 315 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 André Villas-Boas can be Chelsea manager for 15 years, says chairmanhttp://www.guardian....s-boas-15-yearsThis thread opened up to this post. I hope he isn't even manager for the next 15 fucking minutes let alone 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the time make a sub and all goes to pot and you think whyyy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 That draw hit him, you could hear it in his voice in the post-match interview. It's a hard game to analyse (as Neville said), it was too open from us, especially at 3-1 up. Howard Webb certainly played his part in the f'ck up, but hmm..

HRiver 1,512 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 love the football hes got us playing. Give me a 3-3 playing like that over a boring 1-0 any day.Disagree, 3 points is 3 points, but anyway I am not at all content with him. We were tactically awful in the second half and we were outplayed. When we scored the 3rd it looked as if we were searching for another 3 instead of keeping that result. AVB should have focused on the defensive area more knowing how dangerous and lucky United are when they counter-attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhead23 1,147 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I completely agree with lot of us that AVB has been really not living up to expectation. But then, Is sacking him a solution for us? can anyone guarantee the next coach would get us the wins/result/vision? ... We lose out loads of money for the new gaffer and then again a new philosophy and if that's not happening again the same old loop ...I was annoyed with the selection to start with and i never expected a win ( my predication was a 1-3 to United) but we were good in lot of areas and kept pressing despite being average. I m not giving AVB the credit but then we really dont have any option but to continue with him, like it or not .... If we sack AVB this season i dont see any good manager coming here for sure ...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I still back him in the long-term. He was unlucky today. I agreed with Sturridge off for Romeu, we needed some calm in midfield & Sturridge wasn't doing the required back-tracking.Still believe in André Villas-Boas.

Laylabelle 9,534 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I believe in him and will so until gives us a real reason not to such as not signing anyone in the summer etc.Doing what he can with the squad he has...defintly has areas that need work such as Subs for one sodding thing but we cant keep sacking and hiring managers for the sake of it or a run of poor results cause thats can always change.Every team has a bad run its just how its delt with and most the time top 4 clubs dont sack a manager to deal with itHas a lot to learn but imo anyway needs the time to prove himself and hope he gets it because I will loose more faith in our board if he does get the sack..because we'll just end up being in the same situation in a few months if we did..
