I would play five in midfield include nasri and silva, with aguero up front. Beat them at their own game.

I think we should play 5 in midfield on Saturday. With 2 up front I worry that we will get outplayed. Compare last night against bayern with 5 to the first game with only 4. Arsenal are a similar to bayern in that the swamp the midfield. Toure, fernandinho, navas/Milner , silva and Nasri...

Reading this makes me excited at the prospect of Pellegrini. Lets face it we have been really poor most of the season. We have many great players but lack pace, urgency and desire. The style of play is the managers responsibility and we saw yesterday what has been typical all season. If we...

Its time we faced the facts. We are the 5th best team in the league and that is where we will finish. I hate to admit it but Spurs are better than us and at the end of the season the table will not lie.

How about Barry playing in a more advanced position? He's got a decent shot, I remember him scoring quite a few goals for Villa

. Plenty of passing to feet, skill, pace, movement. Need more holding midfielders and lumbering 6'3'' target men on the pitch to show them how the game should be played.

Barry is much under rated. It is all about blend. We only need one holding midfield (barry, de jong) esp at home. We need more threat from central midfield. Ireland is all we have. Wide men not a problem. All top teams score more goals from oncoming central midfield, ie Lampard, Gerrard...

We have got the forth best squad in the league. We have modern day technically gifted players who are being asked to play old fashioned traditional british football, as witnessed at Blackburn and wales. No wonder the all look so lost and confused. Imagine what someone like wenger would do with...

We have got the forth best squad in the league. Champs league spot is up for grabs. Hughes is not the man to get us there. He has modern day players with excellent technique at his disposal, and is asking them to play old fashioned, traditional British football as seen at Blackburn and Wales. No...

For me the funniest thread ever. I dont think Tolmie has had the recognition he deserves for his contribution.

One name I have never seen mentioned before but has a decent pedegree, plays the game we like to see it, and set Chelsea on their way.....Glen Hoddle. A bit cockney and a risk, but got to be better than MH

For those criticising us assessing Hughes after every match, when else are supposed to do it? It is the time we see the fruits of our mercurial manager. PS any one for Hoddle?

Spot on about Beckham. If greatness was measured by the number of caps, I'd give him 50 max, For those not old enough to see Colin Bell play, imagine Gerrard in a city shirt wearing a Purdy wig

Jo...another flop for the future. Lets face it he has been an appalling waste of money. Even worse than Sam harris and caceido. If they are crap at 20 they are crap at 25. Name a player we have bought whose reputation and value has appreciated whilst on the city books.

A great player when he is up for it. Garbage when not. If he didnt fancy playing for a team third in the prem, in the last 8 of the cup and still in the champions league, WHY on earth would he be motivated to play for us

How can anyone believe we are making progress under hughes. We dont expect success overnight , after all we have gone long enough without. But we do always expect entertainment, skill, flair and effort. Especially after spending 100million quid. I think he will go at the end of the season...

Not one of them would play for the hapless hughes.
