'Disappointed' Hughes expects his players to learn from mistakes |
Registering Manchester City's third successive draw after their Premier League
game against Fulham, manager Mark Hughes has said that he was disappointed by
his team's performance. With the help of Lescott and Martin Petrov, City did take
a comfortable 2-0 lead, but Roy Hodgson's weary troops somehow dug deep and goals
from winger Damien Duff and Clint Dempsey managed to keep victory away from the
Blues. "All in all I'm disappointed. We got ourselves in a winning position and
we haven't seen the game out. From the position we were in, we should have done
that comfortably, but we allowed them back into it too quickly," The Sun quoted
Hughes, as saying. "But in the two games against them here, in the league and
cup, they have made it as difficult as anyone we've faced at home. The two guys
up front have really caused us problems with their running down the channels,'
he added. Hughes further admitted that he was disappointed at the way his side
defended. "We knew the threat Clint Dempsey posed at set- pieces and haven't dealt
with it. We've been caught out a couple of times and that's been prevalent this
year. We started this season well with our defending, but our goals against column
is still not bad," Hughes said. "I don't think it's just us, it's happening a
lot. Often it's to do with delivery rather than poor defensive play. But there
are always areas that we can focus on in training, that's what we'll do. The important
thing is we learn from our mistakes," he added. Having started the season with
four clean sheets, City has now failed to keep one in their last seven games,
despite spending around 59 million pounds on the likes of Lescott, Kolo Toure,
Wayne Bridge and goalkeeper Shay Given. |
