Is Andre Villas Boas overrated?

Them egos...

AVB in his first year had better record than Wenger did, what would have happened if we did not give Wenger enouph time?

Di Matteo has done nothing, its Terry who makes all the decisions anyways, all Di-Matteo does listen to Terry and lets the team do what they want.

I mean if he can only do one thing (possession footy) then you're about as overrated as you can get. You need the best players to manage it properly.

I also think the whole argument "AVB tried to install youth" is wrong, from what I saw the only youth he used was Oriol, McEahran was ostracized, Lukaku is playing for the reserves despite that they had Torres as striker lol
