I honestly would love AVB to be a success, but he scares the shit out of me with his decisions. I'm just bored being in the same "it'll be great soon" whirlpool.

For me, it's not so much that there's anything wrong with Friedel, it's that I think Lloris is just a better player and a better fit for the team.
while I agree there were bigger problems today, it would be nice to have a keeper that could have played the sweeper today considering our offside trap
The returning players should help, but I still dont see AVB having a plan to cope with injuries, or without the right players even at the club.
Its just play the same formation, with whoever, regardless off effectiveness. Tiresome.
Re Formation, doent everyone?
City are the only team that really mix it up and Mancini has had loads of stick for that.
To cheer everyone up and put it into perspective, here's an Woolwich fan i just saw on my mates facebook:
not only can i no longer bear to watch them, i cant even bear to look for there results any more ,its just to painfull. Its well over time for the board and the bumbling, arm waving french buffon to go and sooner rather than later.

People are really saying ''AVB out''? 
We did make it hard for ourselves today though. We do like to dick about with the ball a bit too much at the back and fail to play the simply ball. The same with Ade who worked hard but gave the ball away more than he managed to keep it or pass it! I'm not to downbeat although it would have been nice to have held on for the draw. We massively miss Dembele surging forward with the ball and then providing a killer ball. Did AVB say if he would be back for the scum?

But our formation doesnt have the players to make it work, and we have players who work well in another set up
Actually, although the end product wasn't necessarily there I enjoyed the way Ade seemed to play with confidence today - was almost bullying citeh a little in the first half. I hope this rubs off on some of the others. He looked a little tired before he went off, a few more games and I am optimistic about the season ahead for him.
This is exactly why he needs to start from now on imo. Defoe doesnt do enough to worry other defenders.
Defoe playing alongside is another thing all together mind.
What AVB knows about football management thoroughly dwarves what I do, so not saying my decision wouldn't have worked any better. I just reserve the right to question them.
Next time you complain about the government, taxes, public services, what's on tv or in the newspaper, why your steak isn't quite cooked to your liking, just remember that others probably know better.....apparently.
Just got back home from my mates home, obviously gutted about the result. Missed the 1st half, watched the 2nd half up till 80th minute. Fucking Dzeko!
So looks like my match threads don't work anymore. Lasted till the 87 minute though.

Well I just cant wait until Kaboul is back.
And Dembele,
And Parker,
And BAE
And Lloris starts.
And Walker rediscovers last seasons form,
And Ade gets up to speed.
And we buy Moutinho and Willian and Damiao in Jan.
fixed it more.
What? With Ade playing in Sigg and Dempsey's role, we need competition for Defoe!
