Currently overall, we look like a team who is destined for the top ten.
We also have ten minute stretches when we look like a CL team. In particularly today, I'm thinking of the 20-30 minute mark and that SWP chance which was one touched down the pitch stands out in my mind. That was beautiful, beautiful football.
I'm just hoping that we can turn those 10 minute stretches into 20 minute stretches, then 30 minutes, etc.
The thing is, we do look capable, we just look bloody lazy at times. If there is one manager in the world who I trust to get rid of any laziness in a team and stick some fight in them, it's Mark Hughes. That's his forte.
Sorry mate, but you are way wrong...
As much as it pains me to say it - we are getting worse, not better. We actually look a more negative, less skilled team, than we did last season. Hughes keeps making THE SAME basic errors. The team look devoid of a game plan for large portions of the game.
I respect your opinion. But respectfully, if you think Hughes is going to "get rid of any laziness in a team" - then you are missing the point. We are lazy because we keep running out of ideas against the worst teams in the league...
I'm beyond upset tonight. As i said earlier. It's a hollow feeling to realize that 18 months into the "project" - we are essentially still the same City who lost 8 - 1 to Boro...we may have traded up in terms of players, but they are infected with City'itis. Neither Hughes nor Cook seem capable of purging us of the one thing which they said they were going to do...
