AVB subbed off Sturridge vs Fulham & Villa!

Bringing off Sturridge against Villa and Fulham after about 60 minutes was a mistake.Also not playing Sturridge against Wolves could have proven to be costly and we were not that convincing against a poor Wolves team.Yes players have not been performing but AVB has also made some mistakes.Players are more to blame than AVB but he has not used Anelka and Alex correctly and banning them was a mistake.What if they could have helped us while playing for us until the transfer materialises.
Also Lampard has been playing in a deeper position lately which is wrong and Meireles is not as good as he shoots wildly from long range which drove me crazy while watching Chelsea play against Villa and Wolves.
Torres also should not be played as a right winger and he has I think hit the post about 16 times till he became a Chelsea player.I do feel sorry for Torres.

Yes many senior players can be blamed but the way AVB has used Kalou and Malouda is also not good enough.Still I do trust AVB but he needs to be given time and he needs to at least make Chelsea finish in top 4 this season in Premiership.
Thoughts?My fellow Chelsea fans?
