The winger returned to Eastlands over the summer, after spending
three years at Chelsea, and has made an instant impact, scoring
three league goals already.
His manager hailed his recent displays both on the pitch and off
it and revealed how he is now regarded as a senior player at
Eastlands.
“I have been pleased with how Shaun has done. He made an
immediate impact, scoring a number of goals. His general play is
fine,” said the City boss according to football365.com,
“He is a more senior player than when he left the club. It is a
different coat he has to wear. I think he enjoys the standing he
has in the dressing room.”
Yet despite the impressive form of Wright-Phillips, the Sky
Blues have been producing some inconsistent results which their
manager has put down to the fact he is still developing his
side.
“We are not going to win every game, and not every game will be
positive,” he explained before adding, “If we do not win games we
have to try to take what we can out of them. We are going to be
inconsistent, because that is where we are at in terms of our
development.”
Hughes also pointed to his side’s home form as being
problematic currently but insisted with players of the calibre of
Robinho, Benjani, Darius Vassell and Jo in his side he was
confident they would always score goals.
"It is a bit of a roller-coaster ride at the moment, because we
are good at home and not so good away. What we will do is always
create chances and score goals,” said the Welshmna, “It is pleasing
Benjani made an impact and that Darius got some time on the pitch.
Getting experienced players like them helping the younger ones is
really important.”
Manchester City welcome a rejuvenated Tottenham Hotspur to
Eastlands tomorrow.
