Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[Henrique 9,133]

Henrique how would you feel if AVB said he hates you too?.

I've been a Chesea fan for too long, AVB is only a stupid coach.

http://www.telegraph...Abramovich.html

"Abramovich has been fully supportive of Villas-Boas in the realisation that changes need to be made at Chelsea and that the club is in a year of transition. If a change is made it will be made reluctantly and only after every avenue is pursued to try and support Villas-Boas.

Abramovich would countenance 'only’ a top four finish this year as long as Chelsea show signs of progressing under Villas-Boas – and an attacking, exciting style of play is important – and do well in the two cup competitions they remain in.

However if it is decided that the 34-year-old Portuguese is struggling then Abramovich has a history of showing that he will not hesitate to sack a manager, despite the cost."

AVB is doomed: with this football is difficult to see us ending in a 4th position, and if that happens we are showing any kind of progress under him.

[Blue Armour 4,439]

Maybe because of this paper-thin squad, he's actually suffering because Terry, Ramires and Drogba have been absent from the last few games.

If they all return, and the form in the PL table still doesn't improve, then it really will be curtains for AVB.

Found this in another forum:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the summary of what AVB has done:

Outcasted Anelka and Alex.

- Really? Wonder if he regrets that now considering Alex was our BEST CB and we needed that extra striker of Anelka's quality in Jan. Everyone knew it. Look what happened. Torres is shit and we had no one else. AVB just didn't see the risk, wanted to stamp his authority over the players. Now he looks foolish. Didn't look ahead.

Loaned Benayoun.

- Again. Didn't think too far ahead. We needed him before and especially now with all the injuries we've had. All our midfielders have been shit/injured and Benayoun brought something different; a creative flair we didn't and STILL DON'T have. If he stayed he could be very well starting for christ's sake.

Hasn't played Mceachran, Bertrand, Lukaku, etc.

- We as fans don't see the training sessions. Perhaps these players are that poor in training. Everyone was calling for Lukaku, he goes in the MU game and looks like dogshit. Being young doesn't mean you're better than older players. Young players are necessary, but they have to be ready. Maybe he's feeling too much pressure from the top to play the big money signings. Only he knows why these guys didn't get any play.

Players are unmotivated.

- Everyone can see that the players are unhappy. There are constant reports of unrest and dissatisfaction. The players certainly aren't playing inspired like a top coach should be. A coach needs to be a leader but also strike some fear to keep these players playing with their hearts out. AVB has made some questionable calls and no doubt has alienated some of the older players.

- It's not hard to motivate young players. They're hungry to make a name for themselves. It's the older guys that need the motivation. However, VB decided he wants to piss off the older players but still play them every game. Boggles the mind.

Our football HASN'T changed.

- AVB keeps saying we're playing more beautiful, expansive football...no we're not. We're not playing well at all. Just because you play Barcelona's 4-3-3 doesn't mean all of a sudden you're going to play like them. He's playing the same uncreative, slow players as before and just saying that we're changing. My two eyes don't lie, our football isn't attractive in the slightest and we're losing more than ever before.

It's like AVB just doesn't get it. Just because you play a 4-3-3 and tell the players to pass it like Barcelona doesn't mean it's going to happen. He kept telling the media that we're playing more attractive football, then backtracked when he realized we're shit. Now he says wait till next year, completely ignoring his duties and responsibilities in the present.

We keep trying to play from the back when Cech is a horrible passer and our defense is clueless. That's why Drogba needs to play so we can just boot long balls and use his size to hold the ball up. Our midfield is so bad...it's not even funny anymore. We've been saying it for 12 months now. He hasn't bought anyone. I know it's not just his call, but everyone heard Mourinho calling for RM to buy another ST last Jan, even saying he didn't trust Benzema. At least we know where he stands.

AVB just recites words from his portuguese thesaurus and hopes the media/fans are uneducated and wowed by his intelligence, when everyone can see with their eyes the product he's put out is shit and doesn't match what he's telling our ears.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brilliant. Thats says all. AVB is a joke and Chelsea is a serious thing for me. He must leave. In any other big european league (Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga) such manager in a big club would be doomed but in England some people are obsessed by SAF longevity, so they think they must keep the manager, otherwise they will look classless.

Assuming we wont win the UCL, it will be a disgrace if we give him another season, only a small club would do such a thing.

[Kojo 4,676]

He's got some great points there, the one about Benayoun fries my brain the most, it's just the most stupid thing ever. He can help our team and it needs helping right now, he adds creativity, okay he's not great but its fucking something and better than the useless Meireles and Lampard. Also all he is doing is helping Arsenal, i don't get any of the logic, it's like AVB doesn't know what he is doing...

Selling Alex, to be honest it was the right thing because he will never be able to play highline, he is one of our best defenders but he will never be able to play highline unfortunately. Anelka was a mistake, i don't care if we got money for selling him, using him till the end of the season then him leaving on a free is much more worth it, he helps the team and most of all he would of been very useful to come on for Sturridge when he was having bad games, but no as they said it seemed AVB wanted to prove a point and sell him. But then again how do i know maybe Anelka just wanted to leave and that was that.

To say he was stupid because he loaned out Benayoun is ridiclulous. No one wanted Benayoun and every one was happy that he was loaned out. So don't say that you knew how important he could have been right now.

Many fans change their mind every two weeks so that they always know what's right but this isn't how it works...

So you're telling me, you would rather of wanted Malouda to play against Man United than Benayoun?, you're telling me your happy at the fact Benayoun has gotten Arsenal 6 points alone?.

I just say that at the start of the season most of us (including me) felt that Benayoun isn't needed at chelsea and were backing the decision to loan him out. So it's not fair to blame our Manager..

Well i wasn't one of those, and i'm shocked if many did, with our tiny squad and shite midfield, we need all the help we can get.

[Idiot 71]

Benayoun would be a regular starter and I would be pleased to have him here but before the season started many people thought that we would be far better and that we could include some of our youngsters.

The same with AVB. Most fans wanted him so they should stick to him!

[Kojo 4,676]

He could of been a mistake, i wanted him i thought he was something special. But too many errors and nothing positive, only his signings were positives but that was it. Everthing else from him as been dog shite.

[Idiot 71]

That's the risk you take with a 34-year old manager... Too early to judge after just 7 month in charge.

[Kojo 4,676]

I hope i'm wrong though, but i do wonder what it would be like if he bought a few players and had his own team here at Chelsea.

[Idiot 71]

We never know if we sack him right now. An other possibility (to that one from the KDB Thread) is that he wanted to bring in some new faces but that he wasn't able to sell players. Drogba, Malouda for example..

Im afraid you've got it wrong here.... In Pre season, the talk around here was that Benayoun was looking good and was the best creative midfielder we had. He played really well in Pre season and was our silver lining in midfield.

We anyways have such a thin squad, why loan him? To arsenal? What sense does that make?

However, this is in hindsight.... If Meireles, AVB's Portuguese Pal was a success here and added to the team, then we wouldnt be saying this, unfortunately He is a deadweight too(shouldn't even be a squad player for us.....don't think he can change a game), but i guess we cant get rid of him just after one year, as that will be classless.

[Idiot 71]

The Problem was the fuckin Modric Story... A marquee signing was suposed to join and loaning out Benayoun seemed to be needed but the board fucked it up..

[The Rising Sun 711]

MEIRELES OUT IN THE SUMMER

LAMPARD OUT IN THE SUMMER

CECH OUT IN THE SUMMER (hes a tired, injured man and has done great things)

TORRES OUT IN THE SUMMER

MALOUDA OUT IN THE SUMMER

KALOU OUT IN THE SUMMER

AM I MISSING ANYONE?

DROGBA - KEEP.

AVB - Only if the Above critera is met, should he be given the chance to have a go at his 'project'.

How on earth are we going to replace all these players anyways???

Mcheachran will replace Lampard.

Romeu will replace Meireles

Torres for Lukaku ( we didnt spend 25 mill to develop a guy or to make him sit on the sidelines forever, or to loan him)

Cech for Courtois, if possible. Not Turnbull.

Malouda and Kalou.....HAZARD and another.

I really dont mind dropping out of Champions league this season and even next season, if i can see our young players like Piazon, Kakuta etc being played in our first team....These guys are all really talented and good.... And as a chelsea fan.... I dont like looking at players who play like mercenaries.... not really caring if we lose or win.... passionless bores. These youngsters can take over the world, and if not, they will still get us a better league position than we are at presently.....

Can imagine in my head.... Commentator shouting : "Piaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzonnnnnnnnn!! what a fantastic move by this young lad. Such drive and ambition by Kakuta/sturridge to beat the player and cross the ball to piazon, who controls it , sells a dummy and rolls it in to lukakus path for a tap in"

Then even if we lose that much, i dont care.

[Idiot 71]

Great imagination and i would love to have such a team but this is just a dream

[Spike 12,049]

Today I Google Imaged "Disillusioned", one of the early results was a photo of Daniel Sturridge.

I hate how Google remembers what you like. I can Google just about everything and get results relating to Football.

[Kojo 4,676]

• Let me get this straight because this is such a paradox: our worst player was the one who scored the most? I won't even bother refuting that statement.
  
• Our winger is the reason we gave up two goals against ManU, not the defense nor the keeper, who's main responsibilities are to defend?
  
• So he gave a backpass? Uhm, that's allowed in football. Any team with skill can do it. Did you forget that Terry slipped that day? You certainly must have because you are blaming Malouda.
  

Yeah Kalou scores a lot of goals too, does that make him good?, Hernandez for Man United scores a lot of goals, does that make him the best striker?, sorry but that's short sighted logic you're using against me, you don't look at stats you look at how they played. Malouda used to score, but the amount of times he slowed us down, lost the ball was unbelievable, if you watched Chelsea last season you would know, clearly you didn't. Did you watch the Man City match by any chance?, when we beat them 2-0?, every player was solid, every player was good and i'm telling you it should of been 3 or 4-0 because City were awful, but because Malouda kept getting the ball in good situations he just lost it, instead of making a simple pass.

Malouda is a huge example of how a player can make a massive u-turn.

And about the United match, if Malouda didn't lose the ball every time he fucking got it we wouldn't of been in those situations giving penalties away, which lead to United making a comeback.

The backpass, seriously... i hope every forum member sees what you just written there, John Terry slipped?, yeah he slipped because Malouda made the worst backpass in the world, and he would never of gotten to it anyway, Van Persie was just about on the ball, and would of gotten to it first, Malouda only had to play a simple pass, but instead he kicked the ball right past him with too much power which allowed Arsenal to go up 4-3...

Sorry but Malouda is one of our worst players, and i hope he gets sold in the summer because he is really starting to piss me off just like Bosingwa, both useless players who can't do shit. Malouda concedes more goals than makes, FACT!.
