Weiss should have been on as soon as the second went in. I totally agree about the generic substitutions, it's soul destroying. Big decisions need to be made during the 90 minutes which are continually shunned.
I have no problem with Robinho coming off but bring Weiss, Petrov and RSC on for him, Ade and Barry and have a proper 442. That was a shambles of a formation which was clearly too narrow but nothing was ever really done to change it.
Hughes will always pull off those Chelsea type results when we are the underdogs but isn't good enough to consistently outhink managers. If we give him the time some people crave we may get peak at 6th in the 2012-13 season.
