let's analyze AVB from the start, and let's see if it's fair to call his sack or not:
Last season:
at the start of last season, we wasted 7 points at home against the likes of Norwich, WBA and Wigan. The Team wasn't well balanced in the wings, but after some games, the team did well and can't see mistakes from AVB, specially with Lloris-Friedel situation.. that's until our game vs Fulham (H) were he fucked all things wrong.
AVB overall performance was good, 72 pts (record) and i guess the difference from the Previous season, beating Man United in OT. IF it's not, then it's 69 pts, same to Redknapp final season.
Quarter Final in Europa league is good, it was very good to knock out Lyon, but the performance at Inter (while they are struggling in league) plus losing to Basel with full team is something should be considered too.
This season:
Everything was reasonable in terms of results until that disaster against West Ham (H) .. Now things looking worse after losing to Newcastle at (H) too, with Manchester clubs coming next, I doubt that getting more than 3 points (at best) , probably 1 or 2 or 3, this won't help us to push Arsenal, where we should be able to do this year. So we could ended up mid-table, despite spending more than £100M in transfer market.
The reasons behind this, he isn't very detailed, he is just philosophizing, Lamela is top class player, club record, can't get League minutes.
His approach very superficial, he plays right footed on left, and left footed on right, this is understandable, but you can't do that all time, you can't do that all players. Just because Sigurdsson scored some decent goals from there, that's doesn't make him LW. He had no pace, not the best skills, his best position to be AM, probably can do a job on LW as bencher, probably that's suit some games away from home, but doing that so often become boring.
Yesterday, we've Vertonghen and him in Left side. That's was so funny, to have 8 players from 10 players who all used to like play in center positions.
And his treatment for Lamela is just Provocative, starting from Chelsea game by particular, why on the earth feilding Chaldi ( on right even - against his approach !! ) when he was out for long.. in that game after very awful start in 2nd half, I expected Sandro & Lamela, yet he brought exactly the wrong players !! Then subs him - Lamela - in Carling cup and Europa league games, not giving him a fair chance to adapt playing for us, then he complains that he isn't ready etc..
AND the way Townsend playing in current moment, not sure Andross offer more communicative skills, he is playing lonely, I remember some players were annoyed by some of his shots, and he run at opponents while there are mates available so much often.. he is forcing himself sometimes to cross several times by his right foot, Many shots were just poor. from 8-10 efforts during the game, just because 2 were good, doesn't make him on form, specially when he had average product.
some small statistics via Fantasy PL, Towsend played 880 minuts (most 2nd player from Midfield, scored 1, assisted 1) And Lamela played just 72 minuts !! ( and assisted 1 too !! )
Our best goals, were against Swansea, Cardiff & Chelsea, were all of these goals Townsend wasn't involved in making the goal.
surely Townsend had potential, but he had to learn to play as team, and AVB just need to treat him as other player, not thinking in a way ''I can introduce a player to the world!!''
also.. stop using Walker & Vertonghen so much in cups, giving them no chance to rest, and no need to play Vertonghen so much on LB, he could reduce 'too much competition' in the three play making positions behind striker by giving Townsend a rule on LB in cups, or when we are behind, like yesterday or West Ham (2nd half changes) ..
AVB is offer nothing at this moment, everything is just wrong. There is no style of football, we are waiting for a moments or set-pieces. def. we didn't invest that much to get that and this isn't what can the squad do.
