Sorry Chris, have to disagree on some points - Any mistakes made by Mark Hughes were due to him having to cover for Nick Anderton who, uncharacteristically, was anywhere but where he should have been, certainly in the first half. For long periods he didn't even make an effort to mark Ivan Toney & you can't let a player like that just roam free.
You think Sousa could have made a difference, really? The lad tried when he came on but he's too easily knocked off the ball, far too lightweight for a game like yesterday's. Zanzala made a difference by running at their defense & making a nuisance of himself.
I do agree we could do with making subs a but earlier in some games but who would you have used yesterday? Maybe Piero instead of Sousa, but of the others??
