This may be written in some frustration, but the current problems are clear to see.
First, Mark Hughes clearly doesn’t have the respect of the players. They didn’t come out in the second half looking fired up whilst Clint Dempsey’s reaction to being substituted said it all.
The lack of cohesion between the units of the team and the errors culminating in goals are becoming so apparent. For the last two seasons, the defence has been rock solid with the team defending as one, whilst now there are gaping holes between the parts of the team.
The key change to the team has backfired. Sure, it would have been difficult to stop Paul Konchesky from joining Liverpool, but Carlos Salcido has been awful for a while now and his numerous mistakes are costing us too many goals. I would gladly take Konchesky back in a heart beat now.
The loss of Bobby Zamora has been vital, but Hughes has had four months to formulate a plan B, yet he has failed to do this well and the return of our main man can’t happen sooner.
I would argue that Hughes has somehow performed as badly as Lawrie Sanchez as manager, his lack of passion in the post match interviews is deeply worrying and he just doesn’t seem to ‘fit’ our club. I would argue that Hughes needs to go now before things get any worse.
