Delighted with AVB's work so far

Because Villas-Boas hasn't made the desired impact, people like Terminator X have branded him an uncaring fraud, which is incredibly unfair. I think, for that reason, you can excuse supporters for getting a bit disillusioned with some of the bullshit on this forum. I swear if I wasn't an Admin, and I therefore had no responsibility to maintain my activity I'd have left a long time ago

I'm thrilled with almost everything Villas-Boas has done - the defensive high line being my only gripe. It makes us rather vulnerable at the back, but that argument is one well-documented on here so I won't waste my time going into detail. However it does support out style of play, which is wonderful to watch. Remember this is work-in-progress and in a year or two we will have more players to facilitate a successful attacking style. It will take time, you can't turn into Barcelona overnight.

As for where we are; looking at our UCL and EPL fixtures, this is roughly, give or take a win or two, where I thought we'd be at this point in the season, so I can't complain. Some people don't seem to realise that whilst we are in a period of transition, which will take time, we don't have a hope in hell of catching City. The best we can hope for is to beat United to second place. People are just angry because they have come to the conclusion that we won't win the league this season, so they are looking for the most obvious scapegoat - ie, AVB, when the system lets us down.

In AVB I trust.

Abramovich had no patience he should of let Carlo stay.

When he dropped Carlo he should of gotten Guus Hiddink.

Im sure Hiddink would of done a great job

AVB is good but compared to Hiddink and Carlo he isnt

Guus is no superman either, he couldn't prevent Turkey from getting pasted at home by Croatia.

The only thing I'm unimpressed with is we have bottled it in the big games so far..

Good Morning.

I'm very really happy with the coaching of André ,Chelsea supporters and Roman must give him time and money , money because clearly if we want to replace Drogba Anelka or even Torres (if he finish this season like that) we we'll replace them by top quality players!; with AVB our game is better , and mata plays a huge role, you can see when mata is not playing, chelsea's game is different , more predectible , mata is a fantastic player , and he is only 23 i think , he could be in the 3-4 years one of the best in the premierleague. like Silva now.

This season , we don't have a team that can win the premier league , we have a good team , but in the end of the season , if we finish without title , dont fire avb , because football is made like that , Ferguson at his debut didn't win trophies, but now you can see the result.
