Also been seeing quite a few rather flattering profiles of AVB heading into this match. Talking up his ability to man manage, how the team is playing well for him as his ideas on meritocracy take hold and how players feel if they perform well in training they'll get a chance to show it on match day.
It feels a bit two faced if I'm honest and I'm sure if we go on a bad run the story will be spun back to paint AVB in a bad light. But for right now it's nice to see his qualities as a coach getting a good airing, and the transitional period be has oversee being put into context, as we're still in the CL places even after losing Modric, VDV, and having kaboom, Benni and Parker injured for the first half of the season.
He's got more to overcome with Sandro now gone for the season after knee surgery, and Adebayor off to the African Cup of Nations, but it can also be viewed as a chance for others to impress him and stake their claim for a starting place...
