I miss Hughes

[Gelsons Dad]

So the going in the shell after taking the lead, the bringing on of another defensive midfielder (at 1-1), the taking off Petrov, playing Ireland on the wing, was all because of Hughes? Thanks for making that clear, now I know the reason.

We sat back after scoring plenty of times under Hughes, that is how we became the draw specialists this season. Petrov was injured.

Add to that the lack of RW and attacking midfielders in the squad and what other choices does Mancini have? But of course it's nothing to do with MH!

hughes should have been left in the job, nothing against bob but hughes knew the english game better.

had we kept hughes we'd be top 3 now and we would have beaten stoke.

sorry bobby fans.

all that said hughes or bob will be replaced in the summer.

Agree hughes may have not been every ones cup of team but the anti mark hughes brigade were in the minority. However .............

Will Hughes lovers please follow him to his next club and leave CITY fans alone!!
He would almost certainly have drawn some of the games Mancio has won at home, and we STILL would no be able to win away! Jesus!!

Just as we're getting defenders back we're losing forwards. He has never had anything like a full squad to pick from, never mind that they're not his players. Lets see where we are a week on Wednesday before making premature judgements

Worst thread I've ever read on here.

We've gone from ludicrous ramblings where people were shouting about only being able to judge a manager after he had a) spent 24 months at the club, b) replaced 90% of the squad with his own signings, c) had 4 full transfer windows and unlimited funds and d) been able to change every aspect of the club and member of backroom staff, to the same people claiming that the new manager isn't up to it after two months.

It is outrageous imo.

Also strange to see that some of the most vocal "Hughes inners" who were rabid in their claims that "Hughes outers" never gave Hughes a chance and were always against him, are now found on threads criticising the new manager after two months and claiming that their hero was always miles better than the multiple trophy winning Mancini.

What happened to their outrage about giving a new manager time and full support and not being able to expect much from a new manager early on?

I can pick holes in some of Mancini's actions since he's been here but it could it be that there are a few love struck Hughes men who are straying slightly too close to their often uttered "desperate to be proved right" phrase?

(In fact, given some of the out of order comments I saw aimed at Mancini on here before he had even managed a single game, I know that there are at least two or three very vocal posters who definitely fall into that category)

JohnMaddoxAxe,
as usual , you post an eloquent, powerful statement about the mentality of some of the posters on here, another superb post and brilliantly written, agree mate, it's criminal that those same people are rabidly savaging Mancini, yesterday he played everybody fit and available in their right positions and it should have been enough, but was let down by individual errors and poor performances!

Yeah we should not have said anything about Alan Ball either, he won the World Cup. All those nasty Horton fans. Playing shite does not come into it.

I miss Sven... especially the first half of the season!!! :-)






Pointless to keep this up... better to move on!!

 

[blucat599]

it's not us gman07, it's them, they just won't stop going on about fucking Hughes!!
We were playing shite under Hughes, he only won 7 of his 17 Prem games this season.
If we were playing anywhere near as great as these clowns imagine we were, he'd have won more games and wouldn't have got sacked for christs sake!
