Post Fulham collapse post: Big open door opportunity today with most our main threats flopping over the weekend. Two goals up against a team playing their 3rd match in a week, with key players missing. What do we do, we throw the game away conceding two very soft goals. In the end we were...

Criticism if constructive is good, good for the club and good for those it refers to. Hughes is a remarkle manager in many ways, certainly his Media skills are exceptional, his training methods outstanding, his work ethic sublime. My concern is his ability to turn the tide in games, to react...

I am inclined to agree with this post. As for Barry, a very good player without doubt, good at protecting the back 4 but that is not defending in the box. Anyone who has seen him defending in the box at corners and free kicks will understand what I am saying, as will Premiership managers who...

This post is 90% praise for hughes 10% constructive criticsim, which is helpful and necessary for success./ Why do so many just see the criticism and misconstrue it as destructive. Read the post, be open minded and realise everyone, Hughes included has weaknesses that need improvement.

# Man of no substance or points view apparently.

Barry can provide highly effective cover for the back four, but he is a liability at corners and free kicks when in the box, thats when he is not good enough defensively.

I did say I rate Hughes highly in every other aspect of his management, I am being fair and constructively critical, are you?

God, how I wish I was 15. I did not just criticise, I praised Hughes I just queried this one crucial aspect of his armoury. I hope I am wrong because I cannot wait for City success.

I agree he is the best manager we have had in a long time, but is he good enough to win matches that need tactical changes through informed consideration and insight of other teams tactical changes. Can he turn losing games into winning games, never seen it yet. Remember good is not great, we...

Spot on, No excuses can explain why we were outplayed.

Decent post, and yes I was crying out for decent strikers last year, but Ireland should be given the free role in midfield, Barry the defensive role.

Irrelevant, as he has now bought a player to replace him in midfield.

Update post(mortem) Burnley Can we speak the truth now, or do we still have to pretend all in the garden is rosy. Hughes is tactically naive, today once again reinforces the point. 3 goals conceded all soft goals. Two down then 3 2 up and yet we still throw it away. Anymore it is a good draw we...

Get a grip lads, this is Hughes doing a Fergie by distracting attention away from a dreadful performance. That is the managers performance. Martinez outsmarted Hughes second half, who could not respond, seemingly not up to the tactical challegne. We let in a patgetic goal, Richards fault. We...

In my humble opinion Superman is about to become a waste by-product of the Hughes factory machine. Put simply, Hughes is wasting his immense talent and goal scoring ability by playing him defensively and out of position. I fear for Stevie under the Hughes regime, the best midfielder, imho...

United are rocking and creaking like a rusty old chair. Better still they have no money to spend to save themselves.

Gone but not forgotten, performing well for his new team. Great goal and performance today against Chelsea . Done us a favour inflicting defeat on them, now we need to do ourselves a favour and win at Wigan. This is a different Premiership this year and some of the top 4 are very vulnerable...

Why do some people want 'same old City' forever. Listen if you are not good enough you do not play, end of, we want and need the very best so we can win trophies. Micah can stay and fight for his place, that means work harder, work smarter, learn more and then more again; application and art...
