'Hughes team' has actually made us worse.....

[dancity19]

Whilst I think his buys have been good, there is an argument that they have made us worse! We are still shocking away from home, and we never ever outplay teams like we did earlier on, pompey, stoke etc. Our goal thread has dried up completely since he implemented 'his team.'

For me, the deployment of 2 defensive midfielders has resulted in a lack of attacking threat. Also the lack of a real target man makes 2 defensive midfielders even more negative...
But I do agree, it does seem to have got worse, even Ireland is a pale immitation of his earleir form....Baffling

imo its the tactics that are worrieing

Thats the really odd thing on paper this team is much stronger than last seasons and yet looks like it will end up double figures less in points.

We played Kopany and Hamman away in DM and we won 3-0 so it can work.

Our full backs ave to play well for that to work, Ball and Corluka played very well that day.

We look a bit stale and stagnant at the minute. We need to try something completely new tactic wise, teams know how to deal with our attacking threat. And the players seem out of ideas as to what to do. I think if / when Petrov makes his return and we employ a proper winger system we'll start to improve but we're lacking that spark of something different at the minute.

hope on thursday we can get the likes of Bellamy and Ireland being played in behind the defence this never seems to happen and with no target man or wide players must be the best way to attack

I'm still a hughes fan, we could have gone 7th on Saturday and up until the 1st goal we were on top even though we hadn't troubled there goal, pompey took there chances, I am worried that we cant break teams down. Pompey are fighting for there lives and had a boost from losing there manager, always seems to happen against us!
