Total rubbish!!
If the defence aren't playing well, replace them. He has Kompany and Neds. He doesn't use that option. Gelson, HE put on the pitch and he gave Hamann an extended contract. Make use of one of those decisions, Hughes and don't blame them. Ball, Garrido? Yes, he inherited, but he bought Berti. Why? Give him a look-see. He's there for a reason, isn't he? Vassell, HE continues to play, he has Big Phil, at least on his books.
He has options, but he refuses to use them, when he should have done so early on and let them bed their confidence in. Now, every time a player comes in, he's saddled with pressure to perform and get things absolutely correct.
By the way, I blame Elano for this slump...
