The way I interpreted it was that the 3CBs need more time to learn their roles in the system. To me that means he’ll persist with it.

I don’t think Hughes will dispense with the 3CBs. Check out the quotes in this article: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/16414078.southampton-manager-mark-hughes-on-stuart-armstrong/?ref=rss

I get the feeling from the quotes in this article that the 3 at the back will be back next week. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/16414078.southampton-manager-mark-hughes-on-stuart-armstrong/?ref=rss Ffs!

Redmond played extremely well after the formation change. Vesti was class. Ings buzzing. Ely looks a handful but a bit Tadic like passing up the chance of a shot a couple of times. Before the formation change: worried After the formation change: encouraged

That’s what I thought. He missed the challenge and stood on Ings’ ankle.

Stood on Ings ankle. Penalty?

Me too. Enjoyed it. We just about deserve the win. 5 mins to get it.

Ohhhhh. Great move. Redmond has been excellent since the formation change.

Ely is a bit of a Tadic clone. Thinks pass first shoot second.

Great piece of skill by Ings there. Redders couldn’t find a head with dinked cross.

Ings is a real handful. Redders should have played him in there.

Dammit. Great save Hart.

Ohhhhhhhhh Gabbiadini...

Just over CA, JS nearly scores.

Liking Elyanoussi. Looks skilled.

Looking much better now. Hope SA is ok.

Ohhhhh. Off the line!!

Had actually forgotten that Cedric was playing until he got subbed.

So what’s the formation now, JS at RB?

3-0 pool. Mane a mile offside.

Getting overrun here. Hughes needs to sort this out.

Ohhh. Got lucky there. Wake up Saints!

Nervy start, settled in a bit in the last 20. Our attacking intent looks decent. Very nervous when the ball gets near our back line, particularly set pieces. If we can come out positive and get a goal I think we’ll grow from there.

Possible viral gif was just born. After Mane’s goal, Klippity looked like he was jerking off his tiny cock.

2-0 l’pool - Mane. WHU = utter shambles
