Well done Hughes

Another draw from a winning position.The third time this season.Where was Hughes's defense,he bought every single one
of them bar Onouha.Liverpool were there for the taking today.They had players missing,injured players during the game.City were set up defensively or to play a containing game by Hughes and only started to attack once Liverpool scored.All in all for me and many others ive spoken too,another dodgy display,motivation definitely a problem.

Well done Hughes?give me a break!This draw was in spite of Hughes.Im so frustrated
 
Thought that after they had two players sidelined, we could have been more assertive and in their faces. There are a few weak characters in the Liverpool team and I think we sat off them too much and held the back line too deep. However, a good point and well done Hughes and the team.

I would like to see him get out of his seat though.
why? just for appearances sake? i prefer substance over style personally, couldnt give a fuck if the manager is sat down or jumping around in the technical area as long as he makes the correct decisions.

Im not asking for him to jump around but would like to see him managing the players from time to time. There is no communication for the whole game if he sits down

Only fair to praise him when there are so many Hughes out threads!

He got everything right today, picked the line up everyone wanted, made some good subs, its not his fault the defense switch off.


He did okay that is all and we will struggle to win games if he does'nt STOP Given and the defence always searching for the LONG ball to a lone player. We have a quality team which should base their game around a passing game and not a Bolton type team. I'd love to see what this team could do with a top quality coach though.
 
Small time as in tactically inept, negative , he wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes at Chelsea, we are in the position where we can now shop at Harrods but we have a Manager who resembles Quality Save, we have very good footballers but the weakest link is the Manager.

I bet if he was called Hughesinho and used to manage abroad, at least half of the Hughes Out posters would change their minds.

If he did everything right we would get a win. But another draw is decent against liverpool, who haven`t won in 9 matches.

Makes yo wonder about richards when zabattack is struggling so much.

I like Zabi but we need a new RB ASAP January window please lesley!

Not really. Hughes shaking his head after they equalised summed him up for me. He teaches them how to play and defend.

Did he get off his arse at any point during the match today and give out anything to the players?

Dont be ridiculous mate,i couldnt give a shit who our manager played for,managed,what his name is.Its about
what we see week in week out in our performances,attitude,tactics etc..Its simply not good enough.
 
We went through great changes in the team over summer. We don't seem to have a settled back four this season due to injurries. Our most expensive player has barely all season We have lost one game all season and are difficult to beat.

Yes it would be nice for a couple of draws to have been wins but we need to be patient.

Doesn't matter what he is called if they carry on just booting the ball aimlessly up field then patience will be wear thin.

Personally I think it was Zabaleta's fault for the 2:2, he just switched off.

And he was also the one who gave them a free kick which lead to the 1:0 which was unnecessary.

Yes but Nedum had the chance to clear and kicked like a girl.. he does that quite a bit too much for me..
 
Playing a Liverpool team without Torres is another stroke of luck. I hope we are learning from all this as I'm dreading the Chelsea game.
 
He was spot on today..The first half we coped with Liverpool, a negative starting approach was necessary I feel, as we quieted the stadium down.. And the formation was spot on for that. I was expecting SWP to come off around half time because he was poor but instead he picked himself up second half - well done again.

First goal for them was a good free kick, but one Zabaleta shouldn't have given away. The second one was a lucky deflection for them to be fair and Zabaleta/Onuoha both couldn't have reacted to the change of direction quickly enough and Benayoun was really running in to get the rebound were it not deflected.

I feel we should have won the game but what we missed in the end was a bit of luck rather than a poor defensive performance.

Nice to see Ned and Stevie back to their best as well.. Plus Tevez, he really reminded me why I regard him as my favourite player today.
 
Yes. Well done MH I love long ball football. In fact I can't wait for
the Bolton v Blackburn game tomorrow.

if that's Nedums best. It ain't good enough. His clearance for their 2nd was piss poor.
