It might just boil down to him being an unlucky manager.....but we desperately need a lucky one right now.
I didn't see it mate but reading here it sounded like we played quite well going forward. Hughes will never sort the defence out.
We're on pace for 23 points and a goal differential of -41, and not only are we not in the drop zone, we're still just a point from 14th. The PL's Septuplets of Suck are really something.
This is so true. I wanted to believe we were just unlucky, but it’s to much f a coincidence to happen every single week. Big old clear out needed.
It was our best performance in awhile. It was also a winnable game undone by some poor defensive mistakes. And pretty close to a must-win game against Fulham so a loss is a fairly brutal blow. So yeah, one could both draw some solace in the fact that we looked much sharper and yet be in meltdown over our overall situation. Still annoyed we didn’t try to get Mitrovic this summer.
Please can this be the last game with Hughes in charge? We really should have listened to the Stoke fans!
Hughes deserves to be sacked solely for the fact he has played Hoedt every game this season in the league. The guy is evidently a useless liability.
Yeah, I'm not sure that I can get bleaker than the actual results, but I'll give it the old college try.
He must be able to display some sort of ability during training because he's managed to con his way into the starting line-up time and time again with two different managers. Shame he just seems to lose all ability and spacial awareness every single match. My only justification is that he probably takes the manager out for a sea-food dinner every weekend.
Forget performances. Forget scorelines. As a stand-alone outcome (ie a defeat to Fulham), that's our worst day since losing to Newcastle in my view. And of course that immediately led to MP's sacking.
So, new manager bounce? Myth, or what? Tbf Ranieri couldn't have had a better fixture for his first game in charge...
