I've supported them for 48 years home and away think that meets your definition . If you chew I seldom knock players or manager and never in the ground , I don't believe this years team is as good as so,e others do but I'll be delighted with 22poimtsat the turn of the year . Congratulations if you want to compare Ive supported them for 64 years You always knock players or the manager you always predict the worse. Well done on not doing it at the ground. Actually I don't knock the players or the manager I knock the commercial and transfer teams or team

8 from me. Great starting line up and we gave it a go. Minus because he made the subs too late when the game was already gone. He needs to learn to make changes sooner

8 not much to complain about, good team selection, played well despite result and not a complete walkover like normal visits to the Emirates. Once Arsenal kicked in they were really good too, but we gave it a go and nice to see more movement within the team.

8 for me Adam gives the ball away far to easily and far too often. Imbula returned to ball watching. On the plus side Ramadan and Ngoy got a run out but sadly Crouch is too far past his best. Also we needed substitutions on way before 70 minutes. Diouf seems a great guy but offers little as a goalscorer and we have better options where he is being played.
We create plenty of chances but still have no-one able to take them
Sounds very negative but we actually played well, just need tweaks in January

Diouf is quality at RWB but never convinced atm as the lone striker

8 from me. Picked the right team under the circumstances. I'm more concerned with the gutless response by the players in the second half regardless of who we were playing!

Hard one to score. We played OK could have had two or three goals but the failure to address the glaringly obvious failing of the formation was unforgivable.

Really hard to score. I think the line up was unbalanced but we started well as Arsenal didn't have a proper right back. Once Bellerin came on it was obvious we needed to change as Walcott and Bellerin were against Pieters and Allen was not disciplined enough on our left( to be fair he may have been given a different role). It was crying out for 4-3-3 with Diouf moving wide right, a caentral striker coming on and probably Charlie sacrificed with Shaq going inside.
Then the subs were odd. Why take off Diouf, surely play him alongside Crouch? Bring Sobhi on but why Arnie not Shaq moving inside?
Overall 4 from me. I think he picked the wrong team, got. A it lucky but then failed to react appropriately. Having got in front we had a chance to get something

I'd give him 6 ,his work to set us up to cause Arsenal problems was very good sadly the fact that we cant finish enough chances remains a problem.
I thought he was wrong about his midfield choices against such a good side , they were always going to create space and we gave them the ball for too easily at times ( Adam Imbula Shaq ) and we did not track the runners for any of the goals which is pretty basic at this level . I would have had Whelan and Allen sitting in front of the defence there for their discipline .
Still the best stuff we have played there since promotion and they look better than they have for a while .
As a friend could not make it at the last minute I gave the spare ticket to my daughters boyfriend , his view was that he did not think that we looked organised as a team and were a lot slower than Arsenal , both areas tat Hughes needs to improve on in my view too

Definatly deserves credit for using N'goy & Sobhi. Expected the loss at Arsenal they are a level above so no complaints. Also like that he give Arnautovic a chance up top i'd like to see him get games there against lesser teams where points are expected. Collymore also believes Arnautovic woyluld make a good CF and i'm inclined to value his opinion.
Difficult to give less than 8

Whose Wilfred Bony? Do you mean Wilfried Bony? You really should try and learn the players names even if you dont support them. And the reason you say I don't support them is what precisely ? I have argued he should start on Wednesday , Too much time looking at that crooked spire had done for your power of rationale thought Benji, I often side with you because you often right; but if your delivery is a bit rough which leads to you getting abuse. Maybe you like winding people up with you your abrasive style. Unfortunately the discussion get side-tracked, which gives people an excuse to pile on. Stay on message! The price ManC paid for Bony is irrelevant to Hughes's performance on Saturday. In fact it could be argued it could be considered a positive that he has on the bench because he has done the business for Stoke, which is unfortunate because I think he could be a good player but he's lost his way and is probably on his way out in January.

Attack 5 out of 5 Defence 1 out of 5 Total 6
Has as been pointed out above quite why he never addressed the glaring defensive deficiency of his line up during the match was more than a puzzle I did think Joe Allen was defensive midfielder when we bought him but he isnt When given defensive duties against Bournemouth he was found wanting On Saturday he was an embarassment defensively . The first goal he was ball watching bigtime As soon as Bellerin came on we needed to react in our defensive formation Hughes chose to blindingly ignore the bleeding obvious
