Why I want Hughes out and it’s not because of results
Why I want Hughes out and it’s not because of results. Although going out of two cup competitions against Brighton and Forest and being only 2 points ahead of Stoke and 1 below Wigan after 80% of the season has been completed. And still to reach the so called ‘safe from relegation’ target of 40 points. All of this after spending far more than any other team this season. No it’s because of his one dimensional thinking. Having wanted Santa Cruz , his first attempt to buy him was in August and failed again to get him in January. He continues to send out a team in a formation to play to a target man. This despite having many talented players at his disposal who would play better if utilised better. Assuming he gets SC in the summer. (His total focus on a player who has still only had one good season is further evidence of his inability to think beyond one approach). What happens when SC/ or similar player is injured? With one up front our opponents do not need to defend leaving all defenders back. So we play at least 2 sometimes 3 defensive midfielders to cope with the oppositions freedom. And this of course leads to us keeping clean sheet!!!!!!!!! Hughes cannot see that this system continues to fail. We appear to play better at home simply because the away team are more cautious so we can push up ourselves and be more creative. He talks about players being tired instead of recognising that his tactics are the problem. We have played 48 games this season and no player has played in them all. Lampard has played in 59! And did he look tired against Liverpool? Despite Hughes belief that his players are amongst the fittest in the league only 3 or 4 of ours continuously look fit after 70 minutes. Don’t confuse last nights performance with anything Hughes did, that game was played by the guys on the pitch for the fans and themselves not Hughes job. He may well survive beyond the end of this season but if he does this will only delay our progression as he will eventually have to go. He now has 6 games left against opposition that should, the Rags apart be at least 9 to12 points for a team of average expectations. Let’s see how he does and if the Hughes out or the Hughes to stay group are right.
