Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[manpe 10,861]

I must criticize AVB's decision to play Drogba and Torres together... I didn't see the whole match, I don't know if they started together, but it seemed we were playing the diamond towards the end - when has it worked? But still, AVB can't be at fault for the atrocious mistakes made by the players (Lampard, anyone?)

1) Loan AVB to Bolton for a year

2) Get Hiddink

3) ???

4) Profit

Come on it's new year. Can we stop with this usual nonsense?

[Tomo 21,733]

Here it is again. People are going to make valid complaints on the manager and others will whine while defending the saviour with blind faith.

Performances under Mourinho, Hiddink or Carlo were never this bad. Hell, even Grant and Scolari had better shouts than AVB.

They inherited a complete squad (bar a world class RB) AVB has inherited a broken aquad.

Lol, sexiness? There is no "sexy football" here

The past few games were dull as fck

i find barca the most boring club to watch in the world and i actually enjoyed watching mourinho games so i dont understand at all the whole idea of sexy football

pass pass pass snoozefest kickabouts work for some clubs tho but barca mostly wins because they have an entire academy devoted to 1 way of playing and they also cheat like hell

now roman wanna have his club look like a spanish club, well you're too arrogant. watch some other sports for a change and see how hard it is too win

have to work with what you have and we have great players but they are not pass and move players.

He's falling out with everyone, he's sacking club legends, he's treating players like shit, he's a stubborn cunt and tbh i don't even care if he gets sacked. His way doesn't work with the players we have. He has a lot of work to do in January and in the summer and if we're still this shit this time next year, good bye AVB. Losing my patience with all of this shit now, transition or not, this is unacceptable and awful.

Herp derp

We had this exact squad bar some additions last year (Mata, Romeu, Sturridge; we arguably have a better squad than last year)

Never were we humiliated this many times

This guy is a tactical numpty. Possession without purpose is what we play.

Villas Boas is tired of getting slaps in his face.

[Laylabelle 9,395]

His subs just tend to be a bad point for him..against City and Valencia they worked but of late not so much!!

I agree with you mate, I don't find possession football that interesting. Especially ours, where we can't even come close to achieving it.

German national team during the WC has probably been the most entertaining viewing in the past 5 years for me.

How come you are not tired of tiring us?

These are more like punches.

This type of thread is the exact reason I really dislike this forum these days.

The January transfer window is important, he has to bring the right reinforcements. Identifying a team needs is an important aspect of a successful manager lets see how AVB does. He didn't do a good job in the summer.

[warnie_666 1,081]

I have been a very stubborn supporter of AVB untill today. I understand the squad is bad but to get 3 draws and a 1-3 loss at home on the trot against mid table sides is just Dire...It cannot be that bad..I dont know whats it with the Winter and us playing dull football.

i guess neither of us are much of guardian readers are we because apparently if you dont play like barca you play like barbarians.

this mentality disgusts me in football im just so sick of the influence of playing aesthetics...

and anyone who questions the quality of the squad needs to watch some other clubs

He needs a whole summer transfer window not half where we've faffed around finding a Manager..January is an odd window anyway because prices are always bumped right up,clubs not so willing to sell and all.He needs a whole thing
