100% still Hughes OUT.
This performance has only strengthened my opinion that he is absolutley the wrong man for the job.
Tactically clueless
I thought the side lacked balance and looked totally lobsided, with the only real theat for the majority of the game coming down the right. This only changed when they brought on a striker (Watt) and took off a holding midfielder (Eastsomeoneorother). Adebayour and Tevez both wanted to drop deep, leaving us with nothing up front and no space for Ireland to play. Ireland looks lost in this set-up. Barry looks isolated in this formation and the game often passed him by.
The only improvement i saw was when defending set peices, but against a team of dwarfs thats hardly suprising.
All in All the same problems as throughout the season....All that changed was the quality of opposition we played, and the fact we scored 2 wonder goals!
Don't get me wrong I'm delighted with the result, and lets hope it continues at the weekend, but for crying out loud are some of you really that fickle?
