A couple of Chelski fans I know laughed when we appointed AVB and said he doesn`t know what he is doing and I argued that Chelsea didn`t give him enough time etc.
I want to know what has happened to the pacy atacking side that most neutrals would like to watch. How have we been turned into the pedestrian and predictable team we are now?
I can accept teams like the manchester clubs and Chelski and L`**** having better squads than us because of the money they spend and the wages they pay. But have Liverpool Saudi Sportswashing Machine and Everton got better squads than us? and they may be just below us but you can put Southampton in there as well, they are certainly playing more attractive football than us. So it has to be the manager right?
Who is now wondering what might have been had we gone for Rodgers or Martinez. Everton are probably in a false position due to the loan players they have but they are playing good football and are hard to beat. The worst thing is if we get rid of AVB who do we get in? Then its surely another year of "transition" A new guy would surely get rid of at least half the squad we have now and bring in players he favours and knows who will "do a job" for them, much like Rodgers bringing Joe Allen with him. Almost all managers do it.
As usual I believe we have overpayed for a lot of the players AVB(or was it Baldini) has signed. I didn`t think Levy would do that again after the disasters that were Bent and Bentley. Lamela may well develop into a top player but £30mil ? 26 for Soldado its madness.
The next question is what manager could we get at the moment?
Answers on a postcard please.
After the Man U game one poster on here told me to "Do one" after I disagreed with his opinion that a draw with United was a good performance. It goes to show what dross we have become used to since AVB took over. Being a Spurs fan of many years I can take defeat on the chin but today was as woeful as I can remember. 0 shots on target? I thought losing 5-3 after being 3-0 up was bad but at least we scored 3 then.
I have never liked the system AVB likes to play and you can check my previous posts that I am not jumping on the AVB out bandwagon, he has had over a year and we have looked a shambles at times, only bailed out by moments of individual brilliance and I am not only talking G. Bale here. Our build up play is so slow at times its painful. Chuck all the stats away the only one that counts after 90 mins is goals for and against. Doesn`t matter if we had 75% possesion if we dont look like scoring.
For example people on here have been getting excited by Townsend for gods sake. Thats how bad we have looked this season, I seriously doubt he would get anywhere near the first team of any of the teams around us. Don`t even get me started on Chadli and Paulinho. That some are saying Chadli was our mom, it shows how bad the rest were today.
How many more drubbings are we going to get?
Still when we beat Wet Spam on Wednesday all will be well again
