They are paid millions, live a luxury lifestyle, travel and stay first class everywhere, and this hopeless bumbling stonefaced clown of a manager crawls out of the dressing room and tells us they are too tired to perform after playing two games in a week. Sack him now.
Thats how he came across on GMR, sounded like he wanted to crawl under a rock.gorm said:It's quite hard to read Hughes' expression at times but for the first time yesterday I felt the cameras showed a guy who "really" didn't know what to do next.
We play some great, open, attacking and risky football at times and have scored some cracking goals this season but also seem to lack any shape, discipline and awareness when moves breakdown. This is the complete opposite of last season's Blackburn Rovers who were more dogged and played the percentages.
The core of fans against MH is growing and probably not for turning unless we beat Hamburg. There would appear to be no argument, other than stability, for keeping Les at this moment in time. I am all for stability and for once I'd like us to look beyond the short-term quick fix to the long term.
Hi btw

Reminded me of Frank Clark just before he got the axe.

This.
But even more worrying is our "style" of play... if you can call it a style.
Every other team in the prem has a plan. When they have the ball, they understand the importance of keeping it. They try to pass it around and work it to wide players perhaps. But they know what they are doing and they try to keep possession.
What do we do? Dunne passes it to Ned who passes it back to Dunne again. Who then lumps it forward 60 yards in the hope of playing pass of the season, and guess what? We give the ball away.
Or alternatively, on the rare occasion that Dunne actually passes the ball to someone in midfield, they lump it forward.
The other scenario is the killer through ball from midfield.... that comes off 1 time in 1,000. Yes we have moments of "brilliance" - swift, crisp, one-touch stuff. But 99% of the time it breaks down.
We don't seem to be able to play basic, normal passing football. And don't get me started on corners - defending or attacking. We have been total shite at corners for the past 2 seasons and NOTHING has been done about it. We are comfortably the worst team in the prem when it comes to corners.
Honest to god we play like we have no f**king idea. And that is THE MANAGER'S FAULT.
