and just who is going to buy him out ...Ken Bates??? or RBS

Thats not important, yet!. Important is RA wants to quiet or gives up on his dreams.

We the fans should be starting to question him, thats were the truth lies.

But what happen to this season?

An injured Iniesta, Messi not in form like past couple of seasons, and Xavi having some of days.

3 most important player that made everything for Barca had nothing to do with Pep.

They are the soul of this great Barca, and it came from the cantera.

The signings you mention clearly points that he has not been that great in the transfer market.

He could sign all he wants but without this triplet of players he ain't achieving anything.

Wait what, Messi not in form? 42 goals and 20 assists, if that is player who isn't in form what is then Torres.

Imo Barca are not doing well this season because they are trying different things.

Fair point, but I was more like going by the last 3 seasons when they where in monster form, especially last season.

AVB proved why he should stay last night.

He has the balls to drop big names when they're not performing. Well played.

Are U For Real??

Bosingwa has been the Worst Chelsea player in the last season and this one.... And... Yes he is playing..... What about Maireless Like Torres he is nothing compare to Liverpool performance.... And What?? Yes He is playing.... I challenge anyone to say that Maireless is better than Essien or Lampard yesterday.... Boas is simple a Portugal Player´s Lover.... He´s EGO is beyon Chelsea Dresing Room and in a Destructive way..... He´s a rare Bizarro of Mourinho..... While Mourinho is Egomaniac for the Press in the Dresing Room All players Love him play with there sould for him.... Boas is the opppsity... He give jumble to media and the victim.... While in the Dressing Room He do Anelka and Alex Acts... Treat player like garbage... He ask for opinion and he not Handle it.... If only the results Help him no body whould there to question him... but He is Clearly very Loose and has been a worst mistake of Abramovich so Far besides let José Go

Lamps is shoite atm, but a shit Lamps is better than this Meireles. Thank fuck he is suspended.

This is so wrong. Lampard hasn't been better than Raul this season.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

So was Meireles better, just tell me he is and I rest my case.

It seems to me that avb is in a no win situation. The 'big names' apparently are giving him a rough ride so he has to turn to the players who believe in his project ie bos and raul. I know I'd rather start with players I thought would give me 100% over ones who make it clear they wont. Problem is those players aint exactly our top operators right now. You have to admire the guy for sticking to his principles, would have been very easy to just cave in and play the old guard as usual in their usual way in an attempt to keep everyone onside whilst under ever increasing media pressure

No you dont. His way of "leading" is pure arrogance and if your failure it hits you with twice speed, and thats what the little man now is feeling. Player management, tactics,

media appearance, he has failed in every aspect. He knew what he went into, he just aint made of that stuff like his mentor. What he can be Frustraed about is the lack of public

statement from the top, we belive in you! but with this stupid board and owner no suprise.

Not mention that he got his tactics spot on imo. We were able to absorb their pressure in the first half and score and in the second half we dominated them up until that horrendous piece of defending.

First of all, we got better when Cole came on, tell me why did he came on the pitch?. Agree a period of second half we played better, but still along way from CFC standard, they should/could have won 4-1

I meant by tactics our approach of the game in terms of how players position on the field, the tempo, our defensive and offensive strategies....not the line-up. Cole coming on had nothing to do with how the match panned out, and fir the record, ashley only offered two things in the match: That goal-line clearing and awful defending for all other Napoli attacks.

The performance might not have been up to CFC standards, but it was perhaps the best possible from this squad of players under those circumstances and with such low confidence and moral.

We lost the ball so many time, tempo?. position, we were like cows trying to run away from flies in the summer. No offense just disagree.

henri ,,,you are entitled to your opinion but if you call AVB the little man once more I will scream ,,,THE " Little MAN " was Zola

We had 58% possession and 15 goal attempts and almost all Napoli Chances came from individual defensive mistakes.....we weren't that bad.

If he had his "tactics spot on" we would have saw essien ramires and a romeu midfield

What about Meireles and Bosingwa then, are they performing..............I think not.

AVB has shown himself to be egotistical............why else play out of form and ineffective players, surely not for the benefit of the team.
