listen dude, when frank fricking lampard can't adjust to a scheme, and he refuses to do what he's supposed to do, it's all on the coach
Basically the gist of my argument. Players are supposed to do what manager tells them. If they can't, and even worse they refuse, it's not the coach's fault.
I'll leave it at that.
AVB is a more than competent manager. It's difficult to call any manager who led a team to an undefeated record in a top flight domestic league season bad, regardless of the quality of the league.

Except it's a faulty argument since RDM has sat both Terry and Lampard numerous times without losing the locker room.
Some managers are not cut out to manage the egos present on Chelsea's squad. The fact that you refuse to accept that as part of a manager's job is absurd.
AVB was trying to make a circle a square. He didn't have the personnel required to implement his system and simultaneously get positive results, the fundamental expectation of a Chelsea boss. He lost the locker room by favoring his system over success, not because Lampard, Terry or Drogba didn't like sitting on the bench.

Thenry is obviously in la la land thinking players are supposed to listen to their managers. This isn't U8 homeboy. These are grown arse men. In a perfect world you'd be correct, but lets be honest. The world is far from perfect.
