Well done Hughes

A draw away to liverpool is a good result

Loser.

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.

Garbage.

Its his defenders that he spent a fortune on that "switched off".
ALL the blame lands on Hughes' shoulders

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

That first half performance said it all for me, not the misplaced passes, from both sides, but the fact that our players had clearly been told to sit back and just hoof the ball long to adebayor and absorb any pressure. It was simply shocking and the sort of negative, safety first aspect of hughes and his coaches. Just look at Liverpool's team, a team under pressure, a half fit gerrard and that was it...the poor ngog on his own upfront, the dutch geezer with no end product on the left and the hard working but limited dutch player on the right, two workhorses in midfield, a defensively suspect young left back and an out of form centre half at right back. We should have been at them from the start, forget that it is away from home, play the opposition, not the history, ground , reputation etc...When we did actually score from the disinterested ade, we then upped the tempo and played with the sort of verve which the players are capable of, with both bellamy and swp moving inside to link up play, which is what they should be doing and not waiting for it on the wings as instructed because it won't come to them. Lescott played well, but hang on he wasn't up against anyone and i thought toure was the weakest link until he went off....put him at right back and let ned and lescott form a good partnership in the middle..i'm sure lescott would be happier playing alongside him...and as for bridge, a bridge to far i think..

I've been a hughes fan from day 1 and would still like him to succeed with us, but hats off to your post, i really want to argue it, but i cant! . . . . . . . . .well done ; )

Its not his fault its not his team we need to buy more defenders.

It's amazing to see the shit that crawls out the woodwork when things aren't going quite right. Had we won today you would of been nowhere to be seen. Shows how far we bhave come that you have to spout your shite after an away draw at anfield.

Who's complaining nob jockey I would have taken a score draw before the game, but its disappointing yet again seeing another victory slip through our fingers

Thought it was a fair result in the end, City looked the more likely after they equalised and if Benayouns goal hadn't have come within a minute or so of Irelands goal I think they would have held on for the win. The cavalry charge didn't come to anything of note although if Lucas had nodded in that corner at the death it really would have been harsh. Possibly a sign of how far you have come when people are disappointed with a point at Anfield, if City can turn some of these draws into wins then the top four really is up for grabs.

You complain after every single game we don't win you mard arse. Your boring, repetitive and quite frankly, fucking irratating. Constant jibes, fuck all constructive. It's posters like you that are turning away all the decent people. Your reaction to the equalizer today was probably not one of despair but one of "oh good, I can spend my evening on bluemoon writing bitter and twisted shyte." oh no, we didn't win at anfield. Earth to mike d! We are still a team attempting to find their feet and not getting beat. Your a fucking embaressment.

Yes it too Wenger 4 years to win the French Ligue 1 title. Previous 3 years at Nancy was his 'learning curve' from which he progressed and progressed very well

Ancelotti had a 6 year 'learning curve' which included a promotion and an intertoto cup along the way. In my view these are minor achievements alongside the big prizes.

You can highlight Taggerts lean spell if you wish since it doesn't detract from the point I was making of real achievements earlier in his career. Great managers achieve and win things - but not every year and not all the time.

I did at no stage say great managers win things 'right off the bat'. There is a 'learning curve' every great manager goes through.

It just doesn't usually stretch to 10 years.

In the interest of fairness, Mourinho wins when he takes control of an existing title contending team.
Ancelotti won things when he joined Milan, an existing title contending side... not at Juve, another title contending side
Wenger won the title with Monaco, a bigger achievement, but still with a 7 time French league winning team.

Hughes, hasn't ever been given the oppourtunity at a "title contending side"... we're still not one this season, although its another debate as to whether we should be.

Where i personally think Hughes will fall down is that; the great managers seem to breed confidence into their squads, they make sure that, first and foremost, the players enjoy their "job", are able to express themselves and realise their potential. I get the impression Hughes is a bit too regimented in his ways and that he rules with fear as opposed to respect.

Fair enough

I was starting to bore myself with pro-Mourinho arguments anyway :)
