Did Roman pick the team today?

I'm seeing rumours that Abramovich went over AVB's head and picked the Chelsea side today. Thus AVB was forced to play Lampard, Essien and Cole. Although he was allowed to leave Torres out, a choice Carlo did not get last season.

AVB has already admitted that Roman questioned his team selection against Napoli.

So are the rumours true?

I think these are just rumors to undermine the value of the win for AVB, when ever the team wins its the players and the owner, whenever the team loses its AVB.
Very good win today, I hope this will be a start of a good run, this can still turn out to be a great season, all we need to do is beat birmingham and Napoli , then watch the team go!!!

Sairex i would hardly say today was a good win. You would have won today no matter what side you put out.

it's the principle that matters, of the owner picking the team. Should this be happening? it's worrying even to hear this rumours.

He joked about Roman picking the team. He said 'The great man called me in the morning'

Roman asks them questions after every game, he just wants to know more about football. He did it with Carlo and other managers before.

If we'd have drawn or lost today, that would've been AVB's team selection.

Same tired old rubbish.

If Roman told him to use Essien at DM, play deep & allow sideshow to get forward...then i'm all for Roman's picks
