Some Southampton fans have taken to Twitter to react after Wesley Hoedt revealed what Mark Hughes told the squad ahead of a game against Manchester City.Hoedt - who the Saints spent £15m on when signing the centre-back from Lazio - currently finds himself out on loan with Belgian side Royal Antwerp, and his revelation doesn't cover Hughes in much glory.

The 25-year-old revealed in an interview with Voetbal International how Hughes told his Southampton players to 'play like Liverpool' ahead of their trip to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City.

The former Stoke and QPR manager's master-plan didn't quite turn out how he would've hoped, as his Saints side lost 6-1 to the Citizens.

"I played twice at that Etihad Stadium. Once, a very good match, [which finished] 2-1 in the ninetieth-minute. [We were] wiped out a second time 6-1. How they walked over us then was not normal.

"We always played with three in the back, but the day before the game, we were told that we had to play like Liverpool: 4-3-3 and with high pressure. Without training, that was not the right choice."

Hoedt outlines how Hughes decided to make a drastic change with little time to implement it thoroughly, on the eve of a match against arguably the best team in the Premier League - that is a pretty ludicrous decision from Hughes, to say the least.
