Ireland blames poor form on Hughes

[Original Dub]

Ireland has all the talent in the world but has not delivered in the big games.

He has done nothing in every derby game I can remember.

You're kind of right, but he was very good at Anfield this year, against Arsenal and liverpool last year and was outstanding in the derby that Fowler scored two in a few seasons ago... so kind of wrong as well... :)

We've done this one before, he was good on Munich rag debacle day as well.

Seems like Stevie's having a sly dig at Roberto. It's a squad game, and a manager has to be able to respond to what's going on. At the mo I suspect that RM is making sure everyone knows what Plan A is and what they have to do to make it work, in time I'm sure he'll develop Plan B, C, D etc and I'm equally sure that if Stevie isn't part of Plan A he'll be a key part of the others.
