Imo Avb's project has failed and if it is not discontinued things could get a lot worse and unbearable in the coming weeks. Thoughts

After Barca, Madrid and United, that makes you 4th not 2nd

At the start of the season, thats the way AVB wants to play, with players that would of fitted the system better, we would of done better. Now we are playing the way we did under carlo.

Which is a lot better than what we are now. We won't even make the top 15 right now. All we had to do was replace Drogba, Lampard, Torres, Malouda and Bosingwa and we would have been sorted, now Avb has tampered with the spine of the team and we have lost our winning mentality.

Mr Capello

Although its clear to see that you anger alot of Chelsea fans (not me), there is actually some logical sense behind what you say.

Your correct with regards to our style of play in the past being unique etc. It definetly was unique and effective, just not attractive to most (was attractive enough for me). Now we have been brainwashed by this thing called "fancy football", it has basically been our kryptonite and we have lost our way trying to find a new identity.

Imo we didn't really need this transition or a new philosophy

..................

You do if you ever want to compete with the best again.

We have allowed 19 goals at home in the PL so far this season. Only the bottom five teams in the league have a worse record. I'm all for playing attractive, but there's nothing attractive about that.

Let just forget about this attractive stuff and save the our CL spot.... I can't imagine myself watching chelsea playing Evropa next season..

The players don't follow the philosophy though, they don't press aggressively. If this doesn't happen the way of playing isn't going to work, as there will be loads of space behind the defence for player to run into and we won't win the ball up high.

His project doesn't last half a season

How about becoming a proper supporter?

Well said that man.

I think we are seeing a lot of the glory hunters here who jumped on the bandwagon a decade ago.

where exactly is Avb taking this team to, we are playing anything but attractive football right now

plastic fans complaining cause we are 5th and still in 2 cup comps, while undergoing massive transition, support the club and the manager, you complain about avb changing the spine then say all he needed was to get rid of drogs and lamps. that is the spine idiot. he has kept terry and cech, bought mata, romeo and played sturridge

I REALLY hate the term plastic, but articles like this leave me thinking nothing else.

We could sack AVB and revert back to our old philosphy, easily done. But what will people like yourself say 12 months from now when we're in an even worse position? Assuming you'll still be supporting us then obviously.

Anything short of Abramovich forgetting FFP and giving the manager a bottomless pit in the summer, we're gunna need a long term project to be competitive again. This team is FINISHED. It should've been disbanding after winning the double, so now we need a manager with an ego to oversee this transition and ensure our next team doesn't demonstrate the same lack of respect for authority this one has in the past and present day.

AVB is our salvation, whether you can see it or not.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

The supporters haven't been. I loved watching us under Mourinho, the way we shut team's out so effectively was fantastic viewing. But the stereotypical brand of attractive football (i.e. possession based), whether we like it or not, is what Roman wants. Therefore, we have to have that in mind when evaluating certain managers. He has the money, his opinion is the one that matters. Bottom line.

You are one of the very few Chelsea fans that can see what the problem is.

AVB may well end up not being the right man, but he is far from the problem.

Nope continue the overhaul.

Kick out the mutineers asap, play the kids till may, then allow AVB to refrom.

this project must happen and short-term-ism will damage us.
