we lost in that manner today. Not that we have failed AGAIN against so called lesser opposition in another cup competition. I am glad because it has made some fans realise that some so called heroes could not give a damn about the club we spend so much time and money supporting.
Yes MH made mistakes today and has previously but it can not disguise the fact that certain members of that team today think they are bigger than the club and are putting their own ego's ahead of the good of the club.
I can not help thinking that certain players want him out, I have no proof other than their shite performances and consistent rumours in the press about bust up's from certain individuals. We all know Hughes reputation for making his teams very fit and training them very hard and some players seem too lazy to want to adapt aznd better themselves……look what some extra fitness work (off his own back) did for Steven Ireland, Sven obviously missed this part of training out.
So I can not wait for the day that Elano and his soft arse pals feck off to sunnier climes and I make no apologies for welcoming 'Hughes buys' and YES that includes Bellamy (a proven Premiership scorer) and Parker (a proven Premiership midfielder) because on today’s evidence the team is rotten to the core-not the manager.
Sure, players can get a manager sacked and today's performance points that way, but there are several possible explanations for it, including the injury list, resentment of harder training/tactics, squad weakness and unsettlement caused by the likely influx of new players.
On the other hand, once again I was baffled by some of MHs decisions:
Why was Fernandes on the pitch when he's proved himself to be all activity and no action?
Why was he moved to left wing where he can't play, when Garrido was on the bench?
Why is MH sticking to one up front - it hasn't worked for us consistently all season?
Why does he persevere with that poisonous Elano?
Why doesn't he give Weiss a go on the right?
We have potentially got two good wingers in Garrido and Zabaleta who could, I think, work well in a 4-4-2, but this is never tried.
No balance - no success.
