one touch or passing game is how the game should be played. kudos to Barcelona and Spain for playing that style. Brazil seemed to have lost their samba way. look at their last 2-3 coaches, who focused on european style of play. they should focus on their samba style again.
as for the english game, playing long balls to the strikers for them to chase, free kick and corners nice to watch? is the english style good football to you? its boring and uninventive, not to mention lack of technical skills. sucks man the english style.
Last time when Pele was still playing, Brazil played attacking football in the form of 235.

if epl players can pass well , y not?
but they cant... -
From the beginning, i've never been a fan of AVB's style of managing Chelsea. He has no football playing experience and his age is a true test to his credentials. Was totally different from the Ancelotti era, where he emphasised much defensively and brought Chelsea the double. :)
Villas-Boas brought his Porto style of management which has brought only 4 draws as a coach of Porto while remaning unbeaten for the whole season and winning the Europa league. Porto style of management in Chelsea does not fit the club, with the defence falling apart like during the 5-3 rout when Arsenal visited Chelsea.
Won't be surprised to see AVB getting the sack and Hiddink replacing him soon after.

chelsea have now lost to liverpool, man u and arsenal.
if they lose to city then its another record.
-
AVB is too young and inexperienced to the premier league.
Chelsea won't go very far with him in charge.
But having paid $13m to "buy" him from Porto, it would take another $20m to send him packing... Roman would have done better to have kept Lotti in my opinion. Cos the Chelsea of today isn't frightening anymore unlike yesteryears...

You forgot QPR as well.And they will have to visit Newcastle and Spurs and entertain City in Dec. They are not in great shape at the moment and could lose more games before the Jan transfer window opens for them to get Cahill from Bolton.
Who thinks AVB could still be in charge come mid Jan? I see a Scolari happening all over again. Hey, Hiddink is currently free too... hmmm...
-
it now seems very likely chelsea may fall out of the top 5.
spurs i see is in much better shape.
and after seeing the way newcastle played against city i think they are no fluke either.
-
1 more defeat and AVB will be sent packing back to Portugal.
he is up and coming young manager definitely, he has got lots to learn man.

Hanor.
Just some success with Porto for one season and Roman thinks he is the next Mourinho.
-
Is Roman willing to give AVB 3-5 years to rebuild an aging Chelsea squad?
I think not.

Liverpool have no champion league this week and carling cup next week.
So, Man City will have a fixture congestion and may not be able to recover in time for the anfield match.
Liverpool may reserved strength for the coming Chelsea Part 2 match.
Therefore, it may be a draw in the writing.
That's not relevant to ManCity as they have strong reserve..they can be beaten, proven in CL..the last match was 3-1 to Liverpool..

arsenal started the season as the team in trouble.
now arsenal are in good form and winning while the other 3 teams chelsea, man u and man city all losing ground in europe.
are chelsea going to axe AVB?
-
AVB would get sacked if they didnt reach wad roman want
for now still ok lar
unless the owner hired back that former turkey manager
1st time seeing all 3 EPL clubs having diffculty to qualified (except for Arsenal) -
its a matter of time before AVB is sacked lor. they just lost the CL this morning. I think roman has decided to sack him when chelsea lost to liverpool. I think hiddink will be approached to take over from him in January, the latest.

This system of hiring and paying managers in soccer is damn funny.
What incentive is there for the manager to take the stress and perform well since he knows if they sack him, he can get tons of money for doing nothing.
