Andre Villas-Boas insists that Roman Abramovich is "happy" with his style of management.

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas has said that owner Roman Abramovich is "happy" with his style of management.

The Blues recently suffered back-to-back defeats to Queens Park Rangers and Arsenal, but Villas-Boas insists that he has the full support of his boss.

"I have had conversations with the owner and they have been supportive," said Villas-Boas.

"Our responsibilities are to win every game. When things don't go our way, we can't be happy with what's passing. But this week that we have gone through, and the results we have been getting, haven't collided with our confidence.

"There's a good spirit in the group. There's a negative momentum we are passing by, and if we can do it sooner it will be better for us."

Villas-Boas has also said that he will stick with his attacking philosophy, despite Chelsea only achieving four clean sheets from 16 matches under him in all competitions.

"The owner is happy with our attacking philosophy, but we won't avoid our responsibilities to win titles," he added.

"We will defend this philosophy to death, but what is expected of us is to win titles."

Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League with 19 points from 10 games.
