I don't think he knew his players would underperform so badly. AVB deserves some blame for failing to motivate them but not as mush as the players imo.
Ancelotti should never have been sacked though.

He should have stayed at Porto for one more year before taking on a venture in the PL.
He's going to come back for us and we did the most expensive loan of all time, 15 million euros xD

Whereas WBA are a team of superstars and Hodgson is a genius?
Ameobi's gonna score.
probably
how fucking depressing. he's one of the shittest players ever, he only fucking plays for newcastle cos he scores against us.
i don't really see how you can sack ancelotti for what he did then keep villas-boas
avb hasn't done well imo. sure he's been stuffed by a disjointed, aging squad caused by chelsea chopping and changing managers all the time so finding it hard to really plan the building of future squads and a unfriendly player power situation constantly undermining him, but he's been hopeless tactically at chelsea, a good manager is flexible and plays according to the strengths the team, has but avb has crudely rammed everyone into his preferred system even though he doesn't have the personnel, see playing the high defensive line for ages despite the lack of pace and luiz's positioning making it suicidal.

Not to blow my own trumpet but I quite liked my own idea lol.
|OT8| More OT's than days the good times were back at Anfield

No, but they're not a bunch of spoilt brats who whine and complain about their manager, team mates, system etc. I would love to see AVB fuck some of the big personalities out on their ear in the summer.
It's that attitude that keeps the revolving door of managers spinning. I hope after the Ancelotti situation they learnt something and stick with AVB.

I have to say I agree with Avaya. He sees the problems Arsenal have, calls them out every time and doesn't get sucked into this cycle of despair and optimism. It's typical of Arsenal fans to forget about all their problems after a win or two. He does not.
If OT8 was coming soon I'd go with that, but it's not and Pool still can maybe win a few at home before seasons end?

Anyone have a GIF of that RVP strike?
It's free money. You do well, you earn millions. You get sacked, you earn millions, and when you do get sacked you can just whine about the owner/players, etc.

Another weekend, Another Liverpool performance consisting of missed penalties and fucking woodwork hitting....When will it end?
Thought we played quite well today and didn't deserve to lose but I guess that's the RVP factor. The guy is different class.
Just checked the other results - Chelsea What on earth are you playing at?

yeah i agree, i'm just pointing out the absurd situation they've put themselves into. the ancelotti firing rubbed me the wrong way.
despite my negative assessment i do think you should probably stick with avb, getting a new manager will just make things worse unless it's mourinho and i think he showed at porto he can build a formidable side with the right resources, but he's been disappointing this season.
They don't even have to do that. Has anybody ever thought any worse of any manager Chelsea have sacked in the last 6 or so years? It garners more sympathy than anything, which says a lot.
José Mourinho

I don't think there's a snowballs chance of Mourinho coming back. Truth be told, I'd still rather give AVB a few seasons than get Mou back.
I think AVB is is too young to manage a club like Chelsea. Unless you are a legendary former player you will never be able to keep the dressing room together in a 'bad moment' at that age, and even then you might not do it. The sort of player who plays for Chelsea is never going to take AVB seriously. He doesn't have the experience.
I just can't picture players like Drogba, Lampard and Cole really working hard for him.
