Santiago. 1,500 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Watch Miereles play, you notice he is a reason in our slow up play, though he can hold the ball well, he is uncreative. Wither he does his traditional side to side, or pass back, he slows everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 How football can change so quick, after the reverse fixture against Everton at SW6 we were tipped as title dark horses and AVB could do no wrong.Tbh, after the merry-go-round of last season, this is nothing...

Henrique 9,133 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Where in the holy fuck did you get that ludicrous idea?He is suggesting both were too old for Chesea, and were almost retiring. The fact is that we have a small squad, and firing those two player in that moment was a stupid thing to do, we arent in a position to waste players like that, even if they are too old.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 According to the stats even Scolari was better than AVB.Scolari had a squad of hungry players in their prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Scolari had a squad of hungry players in their primeActually at that time I remember a talk about our squad being too old, and with lack of ambition. Then Scolari was fired and we discovered he was the problem, not the players. The same is happening now. I really dont see players walking on the pitch, I see players playing with no pattern and with no confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Solution: Raid the Boca Juniors academy. I think Boca Juniors is not a very good moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura90 556 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I never wanted AVB to be appointed in the first place, if that would mean keeping almost the same squad. I would rather spend those millions on new players.I never wanted us to sign Torres. I wanted that money to be spent on winger and playmaker.I don't trust AVB and I would rather have Hiddink at his place year before. I have always stated we will play Europa League with him and this squad. But, right now the most important thing is rebuilding the squad. And it seems to me this club is changing it's ways. What if we are in proces of changing standards? Changing profile of players we are signing, changing of payment policy. If we are moving from signing expensive and established players to not so expensive and established? What if we are prepaired to not play in CL ? We need 4-5 players, will we really pay 40 mil for one? If board is so desperate for CL why haven't we signed anybody big in January?When we set some standards and achieved success on them, in order to keep that success at this moment we need to keep the same standards. Big fees and big paychecks. What if we won't? Than we need to fail.And that would be Europa League.And on AVB, maybe in time I will want him sacked but right now changing manager wouldn't mean anything to me. Especially if that means disturbing much needed rebuilding process.And on Europa League, I don't want this competition for Chelsea, but I would hate the fact that we are not allowed to play in it.

Yasser 63 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I accept Boas exit if just was the alternative Guus Hiddink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changingman_2000 876 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 He should have punted Malouda, Drogba and Kalou in the summer. Raul Meireles was a pony signing and he has fucked about Lampard something chronic. He's supposed to be all washed up at 33 yet Giggs and Scholes are playing fairly regular. I think he has shown rank bad management throughout. The victories against Norwich and West Brom were lucky and we have have some poor, very poor performances away from home.Hiddink don't want it full time. He should have went for O'Neill a while back and David Moyes as well, what more does he have to do? Ain't he glamorous enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeo 37 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 My problem with AVB is that with essentially the same group of players, he has managed to make us even worse and very difficult to watch when compared to what we were last season.

Trueblue1982 48 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Have to say can just see use slipping down the table as the season comes to an end !! i was never to sure when they got him, carlo should NEVER have been sacked, and lets not get onto Jose... but what we do need is stability, and i can see what he is trying to do but i dont think he has the whole dressing room, Malouda just does not seem up for it, i think he had one half decent season with us anyway.... AVB has openly said, lukaku, de bryne wasnt his signings, IF AVB last till the end of the season and into the summer we will know buy the new signings in the summer what kind of season we will have but.... win lose or draw CAREFREE remember there was a time we wasnt in the position we was in ............................

Yasser 63 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hiddink also played the same group of players.But there is a big difference in terms of tactics!I am sure if we bring Hiddink we will go far in Champions League! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
