This is my 1st ever posting so please take it easy on me. Sorry its a long one.
This is not another thread of Highes out. I am in fact a Hughes supporter, but here are my thoughts about our manager.
Pro's -
1. Signings
Kompany - 1 of our best performers this year even though playing out of position. There are plenty of reason why Wenger has been trying to sign him since he was 16.
Zabaleta - Looks like a quality player and over the last few weeks has been showing what he can do.
Wright-Phillips - Would not have come back under Sven as they didn't get on. Will always be a City legend.
2. Injuries
It is obvious we are missing some key names this year, especially Johnson & Petrov, oh and don't forget the great Danny Mills.
3. Goals
Despite our poor record this year, we appear to be banging goals in when we play well. We have knocked in 47 goals so far this season compared to a total of 48 last year and only 39 the year before.
Con's
1 - Tactics
He has shown on a number of occasions to be clueless with tactics.
To point a few out, Zabaletta sent off against Liverpool when winning 1-0, brings on Gelson at right back and we end up conceding 2 goals from attacks against him. We had defenders on the bench.
SWP, playing him as a central midfielder - we do not see the best of him centrally. The minute he is on the wing he is dangerous.
2 - Jo
Agreeing to the signing and not giving the lad a chance to play regularly.
3 - Elano
Not playing him enough. Good enough to play for Brazil, but not City.
4 - Formation
Despite our very attacking formation, we appear to be out played in too many games. Only 5 wins this season so far due to our lack of ability to defend using this formation. He also show's no ability to change when this is not working either and many games already this are evident of this fact.
There could be much more said, but this gives you an idea of where I am at. not saying Hughes should go, I will leave it to you to make your own outcomes.
