Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[Fernando 6,495]

You are assuming they are starting a "coup" because they are on the bench. Lampard played the last game, Terry did not played because he is injured, Drogba is not here, neither is Kalou, and the only "old guard" on the bench last game was Malouda.

If Lampard is on the bench some matches, it means Raul Meireles (an almost 29 years old player) is playing. Lampard is playing bad this season, but he is still better than Raul, because the portuguese is almost 100% useless every match.

You should wake up and realize that there is nothing changing in this current season, the papers say about AVB trying to refresh the squad? How? As soon as Essien recovered he put Romeu in the shadows again, the player he is using to replace Lampard in some macthes is, as I said before, a 29 years old avarage one.

He buy a new and young CB and what happens? He decided to use Ivanovic as a CB and keep insisting with Bosingwa in RB. Why in the hell if there is an old guard unrest, the reason should be because "they are on the bench" when all I see every game is the same old guard?

You have a point but the Romeu situation with Essien was that Essien was far superior to Romeu in his first full game against United.

With the Bosingwa there is no defending. I wanted to bitch slap AVB for that before the game started.

Some fans and I also want to AVB sack because he didn't learn a lot from his mistakes!!!

because everyone sees Bosingwa is the cause of all problems in defense team and spite he starts!!!!!!

and other, we buy Cahill and he stil on the bench Interest WHAT?!

AVB his problem he didn't learn much from his mistakes ..

another thing, how long we still wait for Torres score? although he doesn't help any thing to the team?! WHY is not given chance to Lukaku? I swear he is much better than Torres NOW!

I just want you to read Ruud Gullit talk about Torres:

I bet if Torres was performing Lukaku would get more chances.

If we continue to play like this, get knocked out of the CL, finish below 4th in the league and don't win the FA cup would you be prepared to give him another season ?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I present an argument/dilemma for the consequences of keeping André. I don't believe this will happen, but I simply present the idea for views;

What if we let André build a team, but he still can't deliver results. Will we have another situation, with Villas-Boas loyal players commanding too much power because of that team that he's built up, with an eye on long-term measures (on André's part).

This is what Roman & the board have to ask themselves this June-Aug ^.

I want him to stay. Let him build his own team. But sometimes he makes me so angry! He had 2 transfer seasons to change the team and kick the crap players out but no, he decided to stick with them. He was extremely happy with the team. I wish he didn't delete his twitter account. I could've warned him, Andre you're making a big mistake!!!!!!!!!! I'm worried we're going to get kicked out of the top 4 and then what top player will want to sign for us?!?!

I just hope he sorts everything out. I trust him and want him to stay at Chelsea! Please AVB dont make such stupid mistakes and punish the players who dont care about Chelsea. Make them play with the reserves or something!

Only if he changes and starts getting some common sense, and put logic above faith.

He still should of spent on players i don't care what you say, AVB likes attacking football, most of our players are defensive, Ramires and Meireles are more defensive midfielders, well Ramires is probably better at attacking, infact all of our midfield is defensive besides one player, Lampard, and that's a player who can't pass the ball, we need a player more attacking minded but who can pass, we don't have one, Essiens a good passer but not creative, he wont come up with ideas every game, like Mata does but he's on the left wing.

This is what i'm not understanding, how can we play this type of football if the players aren't fit for it?, maybe if he had Meireles and such on form we could do well and probably win some games, but it looks like it's not going to happen. AVB has to switch to another formation i think 4-4-2 is our safest option at the moment to help us get somewhere. It's why i wouldn't mind someone like KDB coming back and especially Benayoun, who can offer some creativity in the midfield. Instead AVB thinks 2 box to box midfielders and a defensive mid is going to pass the ball about. It's just these stupid decisions, and it's like he doesn't know what he is doing to be honest.

What also pissed me off, but then again i don't know if it's true, but appearently he said we wont need another midfielder in Chelsea, Essien has came back and he seems better than ever... that just got me pissed even though theres a big chance it was fake. Just even the thought of it sickens me.

Why do some ppl have a problem with Lamps and Drogba leaving?

Theyre both no longer good enough and r frankly in the way of AVBs plans...

A team like United is able to keep its legends because theyve had the same manager for 25 yrs.

Whereas we have a new manager every few yrs hence the old guard r unable or unwilling to adapt to the new manager...i mean its so disrespectful that we have players texting Jose abt everything goin on in the team and with the manager...how is AVB supposed to do his job with that disgraceful behaviour towards him.

No one is bigger than the club and some ppl gotta go...and its not AVB.

[termninja 5,290]

What really worries me is that the upcoming summer is the summer when we should really be making radical changes and if we drop out of top4 we will sign players like Hazard only in FM....

if we do drop out of top4 I would still support Andre, but I would hope Jose could return and with him being Jose I believe we could still be able to attract top quality players.

Anyway, I'm sick of us and managers and I hope we can finally make a right decision...

Ferguson 25 seasons...

Wenger 16 seasons...

Redknapp 4 seasons...

Mancini 2.5 seasons...

AVB 0.5 season...

Why we can't play like against Valencia ? Brilliant in defence and lethal in attack ?

[termninja 5,290]

Why we can't play like against Valencia ? Brilliant in defence and lethal in attack ?

Because we have a clumsy striker afraid of goal, our fullbacks can't send a good cross, we have only 1 real winger who prefers to play in the middle and our midfield is consisted mostly of box2box players. Besides that our confidence is shaken and some of our key players are either injured, in bad form or not available for selection.

That's why.

They are a bloody disgrace. How is AVB meant to do his job properly if he has players like Lampard, Terry, Cole, Drogba (They are the most likely culprits in my opinion) whining constantly? I imagine they did this under Ancelotti and Scolari too. It is very very disrespectful and as far as I am concerned the sooner the backbone of this team buggers off to Real Madrid to be with the 'Special one' the better. AVB will then be able to bring in players with a bit of class and respect.

well said.

I can't stand AVB for how stubborn he is. It is as if he refuses to adapt the formation/playing style when needed. It really pisses me off to see our best Striker played on the right.

Our best striker has that much goals and playing time because the stubborn AVB is giving him the chance to play on the wing. Most other managers wouldn't give him this oppurtunity and as CF he wouldn't gain that much time on the pitch...

Why not? He did well at Bolton, what managers wouldn't give him a chance? Please tell me which ones wouldn't.

8 Goals in 12 is very impressive for a crap lower table team. And if AVB wasn't so stubborn he could play a 4-4-2 variation that allows two CFs instead of one. Chelsea has more CFs than wingers so it would be easier to give players proper time instead of letting them rot on the wings.

He plays better than every other CF Chelsea has. All he does is cut inside and shoot so naturally he is a terrible winger.

Fernando misses tap ins.

Drogba skies it all the time.

Lukaku hasn't gotten a game.

Welbeck gets lots of time at CF at Manchester United and he had an average loan last year. And they already have Berbatov and Chicharito for that position.
