I have never knocked Mark Hughes before, even when it seemed we would go down last season, and even after Swansea. And I am not saying he should be sacked, he deserves a chance.
But, I am deeply worried at the lack of continuity we have. Yes, having a big squad is good, yes, having competition for places is good. But at the end of the day, you still need 7-8 players who will be there on the team-sheet every game unless they're injured. And we don't seem to have this.
What worries me is that MH seems to be willing to drop players after one game.
Adel had a bad game second-half Swansea, and he got dropped.
Hoilett had a bad game against Norwich (like everyone else), and he has been dropped.
Hill had a poor half against Norwich, and is he now dropped? Remember, this is the Hill we all said was our best CB last season.
It also seems to me that MH bought Green as a keeper who will play first choice all season, and now, despite what he says, had made a knee-jerk reaction and decided to get Ceasar.
If you keep changing the team too often, then players aren't used to playing with the other players, and you get what we have seen this season - disjointed performances. MH really needs to sort out his starting XI soon, and stick with the same team more or less unless there is a continued dip in performance of a player. Changing players each game is not going to work.
