If we want to play SWP,Robinho and Ireland in the same team then 2 DM's are essential,or at the very least 1 DM and a very good box to box midfielder (lampard,essien etc.).The only way Elano will play now is if we are trailing in a game(stoke) or if any of the attacking midfielders are absent.

And TBH 1-0 against Boro doesn't prove him right or wrong.
The problem is he says before EVERY match nowadays and then just fucks off, like most of the anti Hughes lot he has got nothing positive to say, hence when we win he disappears, the anti Hughes lot better get used to him because I have a feeling that he will be OUR MANAGER for a few seasons to come, the changes he has made to the club are huge and will take time to come into effect

Don't get carried away just because we got three points today, lads. Given made FOUR really great saves, and we could as well have lost 1-4. Our defense looks really shake even though we are playing with two defensive midfielders.
First half was really frustrating, second half a little better. We were the better team, but we still played mediocre football.

So what if he says it before every match. It's his opinion.
And expressing opinions (whether they are popular or not) is what message boards like this are all about (or should be).

There keeper made a couple of good saves from Bellamy and the crossbar saved them also so it could of been 4-4 or even 5-4 but it wasnt,it was 1-0.job done.

No one is getting carried away, most of us recognise problems when we see them, and most of us know that sometimes you play crap and win, it happens to all teams, and don't fucking patronise us!

Completely agree with this post. Our passing first half especially was awful, we just couldn't keep the ball. Although we won i'm not sure playing two defensive midfielders at home against teams like Boro is what we should be doing and Elano puts in a good enough shift to be a success in that position in games like today
Pleased with the 3 points, plenty of things to improve on though

Am always full of beer at this time so perhaps you are right, but i cant help disagreeing with comments that are blatantly wrong. I just watched a City team scrap for every ball right up to 93 minutes and the poster i took to task said we had no commitment. There are so many here that seem to be willing Hughes to fail. Some have blamed the players for our poor away form this season, but most negative comments are aimed at Hughes. I dont know what it is but i get the feeling MH knows more about football than all of us put together...

Seconded. It seems Humlanitton only wants to count the chances that 'Boro missed. Their 'keeper made 2 or 3 very good saves, Stevie hit the bar and Rob should have scored in the second half. If you're going to go on about missed chances, include all of them, yeah?Ducado said:Humlannitton said:Don't get carried away just because we got three points today, lads.

Exactly, playing poorly and winning is certainly better than playing badly and losing, which has been the norm for us for to long. Hughes is slowly turning the ship round. It just so happens its the size of the QE2 and will take longer than alot of people think. he needs time and i for one hope to god he is here for a long time. He is stabilizing us. Something that no manager has managed in over a decade.

We didnt even play so poorly against a team that always defends first. 55% possesion and around 17 shots isnt bad in a Premiership game

Also Zab was getting forward at every opportunity.
And the fullbacks were bombing forward (which set up our first goal agaionst Newcastle).
Actually our two DM's were involved in Bellamy's goal against newcastle aswell.
[sarcasm]Stupid system, HUGHES OUT!!![/sarcasm]

So what if he says it before every match. It's his opinion.
And expressing opinions (whether they are popular or not) is what message boards like this are all about (or should be).
But is this not a forum to debate on ?
If everybody just posted their opinions and knowbody replied it would be a very boring site, would it not?
Besides he hasnt come back and re-itterated his points, which is a bit strange dont you think?

moomba, the voice of balance and reason. The man who has torn up his season ticket now Bellamy has signed.

No problem with debate, I even put my own oar in on the first page. It's the people that get all hysterical about the "hysteria" when all the OP did was post an opinion.
