Londoner Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 3 ex England players? Dawson, Huddlestone and Livermore? 3 current Scottish players? McGregor, Moloney and Robertson? 2 current African internationals? Diame and Elmahadomy? The size of them all compared to us was noticeable...thought they were very solid st the back, you can see why we wanted that big centre back Maguire? Looked very very good. big side, very hard to break down and control the game against....yet they didn't create a huge amount and were clearly missing Hermandez. saying that Diame and Robertson clearly very good at this level.

Davefevs Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Best team I've seen us play this season. Quality all over the pitch. So glad we got the first goal today. We defended well as a team today. Kodjia's couple of knocks in the opening 25 minutes, meant he was a bit subdued, but Agard led the line well. An encouraging point. Also, could be a good point in context of upcoming games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Fairly underwhelmed by them. If they go up, they'll be straight back down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbored Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 A good technical team but they have no game changer , flare type player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRed Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Great midfield for this level. With Hernandez missing they didn't have much up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 They did nothing spectacular but were so composed. The left side of Clucas and Robertson were the standouts for me. Clucas had some class touches but didn't have the final ball today. Robertson I thought was going to be our downfall. Too good for this league I think. Only 21 as well. Their right side was the opposite for me. Expected more from Odubajo and Elohamady. Though Elo had some dangerous crosses. Diame was very good. Huddlestone and Livermore played it simple and broke up play. Dawson and Davies I didn't think were great but good enough. Maguire looks a player as well. Could see why they were eager to keep him. Looks class at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Quality all over the pitch, head and shoulders the best team in the league. Not many teams will come to us and dominate the ball so much. 18 attempts on goal was it? Coukd have had 4 or 5 on another day. We defended well though in the main, rode our luck a bit but a very good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londoner Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Only thing I'd say is that he didn't create clear cut chances, obviously we defended well but maybe they were missing Hernandez. It was a perfect example of a side coming to control the game, but were never going to take any risks. They controlled the game easily. what a save from FF from maguire....the ball swerved last minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red mist Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hull for all their possession they created little,Fielding had few saves to make, we certainly look more solid now. Impressed with Robertson down the left, but thought they lacked pace and a striker of note. Think they will be in the shake up at the end of the season with a lot of 1-0 performances.

tigerman Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hull fan here. Very fair comments on here. As many say we dominated possession but lacked creativity upfront. Missed Hernandez definitely. Not at our best but a point was fair result I think. With Boro winning last night, Derby winning today and Burnley and Brighton up there, getting congested at the top. If we keep squad together after January, we won't be far away. Have kept an eye out for your results since Wembley 2008. Your fans were absolute class that day, the most gracious in defeat I think I've ever experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londoner Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Tiger man, who have been your strong and weak players this season? Are you usually more creative than today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerman Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Dawson and Davies have been immense so far this season, Diame looks a class above and Livermore's been great since he's come back. Hernandez looked a lazy get all last season but for some reason has been transformed this. Yesterday was probably Robertson's best game of the season so far, bombed forward and looked a threat. Love Elmo to bits but he was poor yesterday and hasn't been as good as he's capable of being. Creativity is a problem though. Aluko was great last time we were in the Championship but it's just not happening this time. Snodgrass isn't too far away from fitness now and when he comes back he will add a bit of the flair that we need. If not then think it needs addressing in January. Signed a Norwegian striker in the last window who's been injured since, hopefully he'll hit the ground running too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Diame was the stand out for me. Hard direct running and a beast to knock off the ball. Can pick a pretty good pass too. He`s probably the best midfielder I`ve seen at the gate thus far. Akpom looks a bit lightweight to me but he might have just been having an off day. Was Robertson the left wing back? He terrified me every time he decided to bomb forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my memory is correct, in the 2007-8 season, Hull had a poor start but recovered to finish in the playoffs. City, on the other hand had a good start, was top of the table at times, but slipped into the playoffs at the end. Perhaps this season it will be reversed with City storming to the playoffs to play Hull in the final. City to win 1-0 with the goal scored by Dean Windass' son Josh, who we sign in January.

tigerman Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Yes Robertson was left back, best as a wing back bombing forward as his defending is sometimes lacking. Maguire has had to be patient but was excellent against Middlebrough and OK against you, though he deserved the booking he got in the first half. You'll be fine this season though I think top 6 almost picks itself already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good ref would have given him two yellows. Cynical xxxx which some people think makes him a good defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 St Quote 2 minutes ago, cynic said: To be fair, he looked a very good centre back to me and I can see why we bid for him - he would have made a difference to our start of the season. Very good at bringing the ball out of defence and nearly scored with a 25 yarder. Refs can't book a player twice in the same move - could be wrong but I think its cropped up on here a few times. He would have for sure but I think it`s turned out OK with Baker on loan - we haven`t had to pay 5m and got someone just as good IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
