Hughes frustrated by City failings
Manchester City manager Mark Hughes has warned his team they must start sealing games once they get into winning positions. [LNB] The Blues are now on a run of five successive draws thanks to a 3-3 thriller against Burnley at Eastlands. Although Hughes feels some represent a point gained, at Aston Villa for instance, others are definitely two dropped. [LNB] "It is frustrating and disappointing because we got ourselves into a winning position," complained Hughes. [LNB] "We have to learn to see games out because we have drawn two games at home from winning positions. [LNB] "Maybe it was a consequence of the effort we put in before that, because we worked exceptionally hard to get ourselves in front. [LNB] "But we did not do the right things at the right times."[LNB] It had all looked so good for City after they had recovered from that appalling start. [LNB] Graham Alexander drove home a penalty after #22million central defender Joleon Lescott had handled, then the impressive Steven Fletcher added a second. [LNB] Yet once Shaun Wright-Phillips had breathed new life into his team just before the break, a successful comeback mission always looked likely. [LNB] And with Kolo Toure and Craig Bellamy both finding the net before the hour mark, City looked set for the perfect send-off ahead of their trip to Abu Dhabi this week, where they will carry out some promotional work in addition to tackling the United Arab Emirates on Thursday.
