I don't think that's why, he's missed several headers. I think the more decisive difference is both full backs are playing well.

Well I suppose it is just a massive coincidence then. Hughes is back and the other 3 defenders look much more solid. Go figure!

He worried me today, his positioning was great as always but his heading was really poor. I don't see what his return has to do with the full backs playing well. I think more than anything else they were just really up for it today. Riise had a flawless game, the best he's had since being here. Kelly had a good first half but a bit shaky in the second, just as well Etherington was poor.

It is all about confidence. The defence doesn't have to worry about a Senderos mistake. Hughes is solid, does his job allowing everyone else to do their respective jobs

He did make mistakes though, he missed or misdirected lots of headers. Senderos has a bad habit of marking too tight but he never misses headers. I don't buy this argument that he unsettles our defence.

He had a pretty solid game and always looked comfortable. No stupid fouls and no lapses in concentration.

the fact that Hughes hasn't started for a long time just demonstrates the fact that Jol is clueless and that he is an incompetent manager. He dropped our most consistent player over the past couple of seasons for....wait for it....PHILIPPE SENDEROS!!!!! (possibly the biggest bungling oaf of a centre back bar Titus Bramble)

Well I'm to go against the tide and say our good defensive performance had nothing to do with Hughes, that Hughes made at least three errors today more than Senderos usually does and that Senderos is wrongly victimised. Hughes is a good defender and we've missed his positioning at times but he could've cost us goals today by missing so many headers.

If Hughes plays more often he will always be better than Senderos,Hughes has a brain.

It is not about about Senderos being victimised. Maybe use wasn't perfect but he was pretty damn good. I don't recall the so called errors but I will take another look but clearly they weren't game changing. Hughes is not match fit and will get back to his usual consistent self as he has for many years. senderos is an accident waiting to happen. He is younger and hopefully will learn. Until then Welcome back Mr. Hughes

Seems strange that Jagielka is the replacement. Surely, if Henderson is on standby, a like-for-like swap would make more sense?See More
