BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Funny how people are turning on AVB after the players have let him down, a very similar story to King Carlo it would appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Funny how people are turning on AVB after the players have let him down, a very similar story to King Carlo it would appear. not to be seen to be in the avb haters squad because I'm not but I think that criticism of avb is understandable, especially when it comes to team selection/substitutes from time to time. We should be careful when sticking by our manager to remember that although he is taking imo an unfair amount of criticism he has still made errors, the most glaring of which was not having an overhaul in the summer imo. To say the players have let avb down is fair enough but it can't be used as the only reason why we have under performed so far. Again this is not an anti avb rant, simply a realisation that there are problems on the coaching and playing side. I believe avb will turn us around.

Dylan_91 90 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Think luiz should play left back as cole needs a rest and hes played there before a few times. Hope we do play 4-2-3-1 and he gives mceachran a game playing just behind torres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGuerreiro 252 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 4-2-3-1 would be very interesting. But I am concerned as who is suppose to play on the right wing. I'm not sure Sturridge could cope with playing right next to Lampard and not in a semi forward role. I am howewer hoping he will start and prove me wrong.Hoping for this:-----------------Cech-------------Bosingwa - Luiz - Alex - Cole--------Meireles - Romeu---------Sturridge-Lampard-Mata-----------------Torres------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTBFFHFair point, I would concur that AVB has proved himself to be tactically naive at times, but it is absolutely down to the players as far as I am concerned. AVB will learn from his mistakes; he is still a young man and let us not forget that Ancelotti - and even Mourinho - made wrong decisions tactically and failed to correctly prepare for matches in the early (and later) days of their respective regimes. My point is that it seems to be the same set of players who let Ancelotti down are once again making things difficult for Andre. We have an extremely temperamental squad. Bar Mata and Sturridge, this is the exact same squad that both imploded this time last season and then put together an incredible run of results between February and April. Unfortunately the players we have seem to be either too inconsistent or too lackadaisical to perform to the highest standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I would certainly prefer to change a lot of the squad before the manager. It's really hard to say and conceive but I think most of us can see that our stalwarts of the club are now at an end and its time for a shake up in personnel and of attitude.

Laylabelle 9,539 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Looks good, but I'd rather us play with a goalkeeper to be honest. Fair point, I would concur that AVB has proved himself to be tactically naive at times, but it is absolutely down to the players as far as I am concerned.Agree mean selection is down to him but when you look at it on paper in theory there generally is a team of 11 who you'd expect to go out there and get a result but hasnt been the case.He can only do so much..off the field soon as its on, other then subs wise its down to those 11 to make it work! But not being the case for whatever reason..tactis not always spot on but its hardly his fault is the defence decide to go walk abouts and mis read each other signals completly or miss chances and all...But hopfully tonight we can get a decent result otherwise join City and Utd going into the last game very eeeeeeeeeeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
