I was a bit neutral on Hughes - but in his shoes - with limited time to get results - I would not have had this bloke on the bench until he had shown in the reserves that he had some appetite - the goals scored through Micah being out of position is a reason he was sacked
So it wasn't Barry, Lescott, Toure, Bridge playing shite? Just Richards? Burnley's third that hit Bridge on the back of the head was Micah's fault though. Why the fuck didn't he run 30 yards across to the left back position to head it out before it got to Bridge? Or he could have at least given him a shout, "Bridgey, watch out for this ball that we're playing with hitting you on the back of the head!" Come to think about it, why did Micah get Bellers sent off against Bolton?? I'm sure I saw him run over to the ref shouting "That's a booking ref, he dived!!" He was bang out of order setting Bellers up against Arsenal for our second, and probably most important goal in that match, as well. I think all this got Hughes the sack. Definitely. Why not play mad Zab? Maybe he'll get the odd sending off or five but who cares?
That is cheap and easy - actually by extension I was saying that the performances of players got Hughes the sack - but my response was towards a civil post commenting on my somewhat extreme views on Richards as being a total egotist donkey - I admitted I do not like feeling that way.
Your post diverts from what I was saying and comes across as a silly rant - but I will try and give it some respect:
You comment on players being to blame for Hughes getting the sack - I was a neutral - do not know what your position was / is:
But in order of players letting the manager down I would go:
1/ Richards------------------ lazy fucker with no football brain - unable to cross - unable get past players - therefore it follows shit RB - cost us loads of goals and destroyed momentum when going forward
2/ Robinho------------------ never gave Hughes support either on / off the pitch and whilst not 'explicit' he created unrest
3/ Ade----------------------- Showed us what he has got and then went AWOL after the ban - could have made much more effort
The above because of attitude issues
4/ Barry---------------------- So good at the start of the season and then crap - hope it was his injury?
5/ Lescott------------------- But at least he tried - just was in terrible form since his move - just some signs of coming good - injury
6/ Toure--------------------- Similar - but I would like to see him much more vocal as a captain and the likes of Richards would get the message that he cannot just jog about went out of position - there may be a 2nd play in which he could contribute
7/ Bridge -------------------- Never seen such a one footed player in my life - but again effort was there - along with the mistakes, but lets compare the 2 FBs - One of them can cross - one of then can get past players - one of them can play passes into his team mates - one of them does not just give up when losing the ball up field but RUNS back to try and put it right - one of them is not a marde twat spending lots of time with his hands on his hips blaming others for his fuck-ups while the game goes on and the opposition get chance to score (I think you can work out who) - and if I am not sure Bridge is good enough - well that explains enough about my view on Richards
The above had poor form at times
8/Stevie, 9/ Shaun,
These for not reproducing the form that they had last year - could have turned so many results our way
10/ Petrov, 11/ Zab, 12/ Ned
These for not making a slot their own when given a chance therefore leaving Hughes reverting back to others
13/ RSC
For not getting fit enough to displace Ade earlier
But I guess these failing means Hughes got himself sacked by not sorting them - and tactical issues such as playing Rob left (when fit) - he is central or nowhere!!, not getting a new RB in the summer
That leaves this season's hall of fame candidates to be:
Given, Tevez, Bellers - all 3 equally TOP
BTW - whilst it easy to take the road you did and just spout off some random events to try and score a point - it is actually possible to make a point without having to do that.
That said - what is easy (and actually more relevant) is to point out the many many goals / chances that teams have got due to Richards shit play / lack of effort this season
