The back pages are speculating on Andres Villas-Boas' chances of staying at his post of Chelsea manager after the Blues lost to Liverpool over the weekend.
The 2-1 loss was the team's fourth defeat in the Premier League this season so it's evident that there are problems somewhere along the line.
I don't think it's with AVB.
Not yet, anyway.
Roman Abramovich should give the guy time.
I know that's a hard ask of the Russian owner bearing in mind his track record of hirings and firings.
My suggestion is based on the lame duck manager mentality where players don't perform well for managers if they know that the axe could be wielded at any moment. If you take out this threat and add a bit of time - the players should perform better.
'Should' being the operative word.
