AVB sacked
- Thread starter Kalimantan Gull
- Start date
He looked utterly BEWILDERED on the touchline yesterday.
Totally failing to get anything like the best out of the players he's bought.
Although it helped Liverpool that they hadn't played a European game three days before.

To persist with a 40 yard high line, with 10 men and already 2-0 or 3-0 down, was utter madness. It's not like liverpool were just going to thread through balls in behind time and time again for suarez and sterling to run onto...oh, wait. That's exactly what they were going to do. If a layman like me can predict what the tactic was going to be, I don't understand how AVB could stand there looking so hapless and confused. Nice beard mate, but a tactical genius you ain't.

I really want him to do well just to shut most of the media up who have been after him from day 1 after he replaced their beloved 'Arry.
But it seems he is just incompetent at that level. Feel sorry for him if he didn't sign the players though and losing Bale would massively hurt any team as he is a magnificent player.

How can you spend £100m and have a worse team 
If I was Jermaine Defoe I would have punched AVB for not playing me. Crazy.

Paul Lambert is the sort of manager Spurs need.

Defoe is pretty useless though.

Liverpool just passed right through them, it was too easy.

If we had Defoe I can almost guarantee we would be top 3. Still a very capable PL striker have always liked him.

No composure. Does the hard bits well but makes the easy bits look hard. Portsmouth thought he was crap. A lot of spurs fans think the same too.

strong and stable with me, or...
He's never to blame of course.
He must have some genius marketing guys behind him. To get 2 top premier league jobs with hardly any managerial experience behind him is truly incredible. Add to that he's never even played the game, not even at an amateur/pro level like Mourinho or Wenger, his standing in the game is astonishing. It's perhaps the biggest bluff ever pulled.

A lot of Brighton fans think Ashley Barnes is crap.
A lot of football fans don't know what they are talking about.
Defoe had a 1 in 2 goal record at Portsmouth.

not really. assistant to mourinho, one of the greatest managers, who obviously saw something in him, as did bobby robson - i think these guys know more about the abilities of a manager compared to somebody off a footy forum
he was a manager at one of the low-end portugese teams, and got them out of the relegation zone and made the semis of the cup - he then smashed it with porto (albeit with a quality team, but dont forget he brought a lot of that quality into the club when he was there)
yes, he's not done well at any of the english clubs he's been at, but hes not the first and he wont be the last. hes done a hell of a lot better than some other players who go on to be managers, and im sure he will be a success somewhere else
