Sexydadbod Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 He's obviously picking players on what he has seen first hand in training rather than past reputations. Hughes was pretty poor in mid week so Pearson is trying to give him a kick up the backside. I wouldn't worry too much because he did the same with Mahrez and in the long run it made him a better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Just now, TheDeadlySaul said: because he is our best player by a long shot To us, based on a mean of the last few years. If he hasn't shown that to Pearson, how would Pearson justify playing him? "You've been mediocre at best when you've played, you've been mediocre in training (bold is speculation to make the point) but the fans tell me you're our best player so I'll play in front of these lads who've performed better in front of me."

YouRams Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Not claiming to be ITK but I've heard through a chance conversation with someone connected to the club Hughes has attracted interest from one of the top four. Wouldn't surprise me if its true with him not starting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Braindead decision...Hughes is ten times the player of Hendrick..very disappointed. Should be Martin over Bent too but I expected that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Hughes was poor on Tuesday. Bryson was better. And butterfield excelled at LM when he came on. No issues with that team from me, minus no Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However what can fans do about the team selection now, just get behind the boys. There will be around 4,000 here and we have to cheer them to victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was, with Hughes playing as the more advanced of 2 central midfielders, the back 4 and Bryson were always behind him, and the four strikers were pushed far forward beyond him, so for vast chunks of the match, he had no one close to him to pass to. So he was either having to pass sideways/backwards or force a pass that wasn't on. If Pearson is desperate to have his players smash the ball forwards as quickly as possible, there's no point having Hughes in the team, and no point having Martin/Bent/Blackman etc in the team either. I'm honestly not sure it even suits the likes of Forestieri and Wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be football if don't discuss though. I believe in Pearson so I have no doubt he knows what he is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
