termninja 5,290 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I am happy with his work so far. Give him time and see what he can do. When we finally have an on form striker who can do it week and week out and a playmaker in the midfield we will start getting much better results.Mata. Romeu. Meireles. Courtois. Great signings.We are also in for a 5m swoop for Cahill which is not cheap, it's a bloody steal!He slapped the press and stood up for his players. I respect that.To tired to write a long ass post about what he has done so far, but he has my full support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo 1,729 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 What is this new philosophy? Getting back to the old 4-3-3 system with Drogba up front when he needed to survive in his job?Dropping stars that arent playing well, getting rid of the old spine and buying 3 players able to play in the first team was the minimum he could do to not being called a total disaster.If you are satisfied with his slow "transition", Im not.

Hysteria 159 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Im not happy, but i think when we buy the player that we need we will see what AVB truly wants to do with the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,536 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 He slapped the press and stood up for his players. I respect that.Oh yeah another good point..pulled them up on their complete crap stories and set them stright! May not have said always the right things but end of the day enough is enough and something needs to be said and he did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 If you think we should have achieved way better, then it means that you still don't have realized that our squad is average.Not avarage enough to lost a match against QPR, and a huge defeat against Arsenal at SB.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Not avarage enough to lost a match against QPR, and a huge defeat against Arsenal at SB.Every team, no matter who the coach is, gets a bad result every once in a while. The team also gets amazing results like the ones against City and Valencia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 To be honest I don't know why people are not content with AVB. We need to remember, with all respect to him, that he is not a world class manager yet because he has barely been a manager for 2 years. Despite this, people expect him to be some sort of carbon copy of Mourinho, Hiddink or Ancelotti in his first year when he is still learning and to be challenging for major honours with a squad which was past its sell-by date two years ago.The media has done him no favours by using his sole success at Porto to try to make him out to be some sort of 34 year old God who will make this ageing squad finish top of the league above a Man City side who have assembled a squad of vast size and superior quality to ours. As impressive as he was at Porto and Nacional, managing a side full of huge egos who feel that they should among the very best in the world is always going to cause problems for a manager a matter of months older than most of the players.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 The only thing that I have really faulted avb with was the fact he gave EVERYONE a chance to prove themselves!! Just like Ancelotti did when he arrived in 2009. He gave Drogba the chance to prove himself and Didier scored 30+ goals and won us the league and FA cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace. 4,352 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Not avarage enough to lost a match against QPR, and a huge defeat against Arsenal at SB.Well, QPR is something special, since we were down to 9 men (and we have outplayed them), so André is not the culprite. And against Arsenal... I don't think he could have changed something to the fact Bosingwa was absymal (-> the brazilian dude's goal), to the fact that Terry has slipped down, and the fact Malouda didn't track back...

Peace. 4,352 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I don't recall who and where, but someone has recently criticized André for the fact four players from the Old Guard are still making the first team, i.e. Ashley, Cech, Terry and Drogba.Peter Cech - Who can complain ? He is one of the best keeper in the world, he is still pretty young for a goal keeper. And, would you rather have Hillario or Turnball between the posts ?John Terry - Who can play instead of him ? Alex, who has since the summer his head out of the club and makes mistake after mistake ? Or perhaps Ivanovic, who clearly looks out of position when playing in the center of the defense. Oh, while we're at it, maybe try Chalobah, who has yet to grown a beard...Didier Drogba - Honestly, would you play this £50 million pound Ladyboy who has left his heart at Anfield ? Lukaku isn't still ready, he is too raw and needs to be polished.Ashley Cole - Okay for this one. We have two young left back who are bound to become pretty good, so we can say the LB spot should be given to a new generation.All in all, with the squad he has at disposal, in my honest opinion he has done well to "get rid" of the old guard.

Kostas 1,468 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Not avarage enough to lost a match against QPR, and a huge defeat against Arsenal at SB.FFS. Come on Henrique, I really do expect better of you.We sealed our title hopes after the losses to QPR/Man U/Arse and Liverpool.We lost all four due to a high line.So a certain somebody was inderectly responsible.I'll bite. Pray tell me, in what perverse way was the high line the reason of our defeat to Manchester United? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 A complete overhaul isn't something that's done in two or three months.We've wasted last season because the board was stupid enough to think that we don't need new players after the Double winning season and now we are in a difficult situation hence why Andre has to make very wise moves in transfer market.I still believe Andre is a superb manager, one who knows this game to details.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 More editions in January, and a decent cup run in the FA Cup and CL and maybe we could get something from this transition season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingEssien 127 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Chelsea today is another club. Dont come with this argument: Chelsea before Roman did not had the same success, so we must be happy with 4th place, avarage football because before ít would be a dream to be in such position.A City fan must ask for trophies because of the amount of money they are spending and the players are receiving. The money this players and VB receive is also anywhere near it was before Roman.Shame on you.Don't be so pathetic. Just because we now have money and some of the best players in the world doesn't mean we should demand success every single time especially now we're looking for a different type of success with different players and a different style.Shame on yourself for demanding so much from a team and criticising the team and management for trying to make a change and you not having the patience for them to implement it.

If you dont have anything useful to post, dont do it.The things come to a point that you cant even say you are not satisfied with the season that people start talking bullshit. If you are satisfied, thats your problem. Get out of my back and find someone ele to annoy. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave Drogba the chance to prove himself and Didier scored 30+ goals and won us the league and FA cup yes because 2 years ago drogba was 31 not 33. john terry 29, ashley cole 29 cech 29. need i go on, people in their 30s don't ALL need to be given 2nd chances their play in years before should stand out.

Kez 2,727 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Not avarage enough to lost a match against QPRIt's pretty difficult to win a game where the ref is blatantly biased to the other team. We were better than QPR with 9 men. Bad reffing was the reason for this defeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
