The fact that this is a discussion is indicative of what football has become. There is no way, at all, that a manager should be judged or questioned after only three games, two of which took place prior to the transfer window closing.
To be able to implement new strategies, a different mind set and influence takes understanding, patience and above all else support. Villas-Boas might turn out to be a poor manager who lucked out in one incredible season with Porto. Then again, he could very well be a tactical mastermind and someone who is learning all the time. If a player was to be tarred as AVB has after such a short period of time I would find it incredible, that a manager, someone who has such a vast amount more responsibility could be reeks of childishness.
I don't think there are many who wouldn't have raised an eyebrow, certainly at the two home games (formations, players, substitutions) but as mentioned, we are only the first few tentative steps in what we all hope will be a hugely successful period of our Club.
