| Hull are the worst side I’ve seen so far this season 14:04 - Nov 1 with 1020 views | Mullet |
I don’t mean that in a sour grapes way, we gifted them everything yesterday and had an officiating team so far behind play they were looking to give Dean Windass advantages. But we should have buried them anyway.
What they did well was sit tight and narrow and pick their moment. They look very much like we did in terms of quality last time around and I think it might be a timing thing that sees them stay up - Man City punishment and a few clubs circling the drain at once all do them massive favours. M
There were plenty of moments that showed our superiority for me. Compare iroegabunam being shrugged away by Emersonn as the Brazilian broke vs when he went through on his goal and no one simply closed him.
I think beyond bad refereeing etc it’s those poor decisions that kill is in games like that. The tactical switch at half time completely shut us down in midfield and he did use Fatawu et al to push down the wings and beat a man. Keeping them worried about breaking on them would have stifled them in my mind.
Felt like we simply gave them too much respect and didn’t work for each other at times. No one called man on for Florentino in the build up to their goal and he makes a soft pass - but even that mistake should have been covered with the time and space left. For all the good things and good players we have it felt like we have a bit of “gelling” still to do. |  |

They’re a slightly faster, more technically gifted version of the Accrington Stanley side we toiled against in L1.
Lump it up the park, chase it, look for free kicks, corners and throws and then chuck it in the box. It will get found out soon enough at PL level. If we had got the 2nd when we were passing it round them like parking cones in the first half we would won easily. |  | | |

Don’t disagree about Hull as a side, but to their credit they’ve done it for 1.25 seasons now, it’s too big a sample to be a side that are lucky. People said all of last season about them outperforming their underlying metrics, but they get the 1 that matters. They’ve beaten United & Cov, taken points off Chelsea, Villa, Brentford. They don’t pop the ball around at the back in a way that’s been so in vogue and apparently easy on the eye, but they play to their strengths, recognise their limitations without any ego, and find a way.
I admire them, they’re not going to outplay teams at this level but they recognise where they’re at and optimise for points. A breath of fresh air really vs the likes of Southampton under Martin, who seemed to have all the ego of a top side without the ability.
Were we not in the division with them I’d be wanting them to keep it up tbh. Given we are I hope they run out of steam, and if they have a few injuries and a poor run of form over winter I think they have the potential to slide pretty quickly which would be helpful.
We have to look at ourselves first re. yesterday. After such a good away performance in that 1st half we bent over for them after the break. The goals were both poor, but the period before them saw far, far too many errors which shifted the momentum. Our inability to look after the ball in tight areas, particularity Florentino who at times was a big issue for me, as it was against Forest. Palacios is a class act, it’s a shame there’s only 1 of him. It’s not easy to do, but managing those momentum swings is important and and area we need to do better. Leeds are interesting to watch, pretty much any time the opponent gets their tales remotely up they find a way to kill it. Sensible fouls, the dark arts, taking their time over restarts etc. I’ve seen them a few times this season and they’re remarkably well versed at it. |  | | |

The way they treated us like prime Barcelona for the first 35 minutes was quite bizarre. Yet for first 20 mins of second half they looked way more threatening than us. Clown show goals aside, our general lack of control against the weakest team in the league was a big red flag. |  |

Good points re the dark arts: we needed O’Shea to go to ground early when having his shirt and arm pulled; force the ref to see it and make a decision. | |

Said the same to my friend, he’s far too honest trying to compete for that ball. Once there’s that amount of shirt pull just go to ground as it’s coming into the box, put it in the ref / VAR’s head that it’s impeded him from attacking the ball, rather than it looking like it’s a shirt pull but ultimately not stopped his run. | | | |

First half Hull were surprisingly poor and we should have taken more advantage but didn't.
Second half they were much better than the first which should have been no surprise. They were never going to settle for carrying on the same and are clearly a decent side. They will be shocked at how poor our defending was for the two goals just as it surprised us how poor they were altogether for the first half.
Overall, we should have won and shot ourselves in the foot to fail to do so. But a point there is not a bad result. |  |

I think the defence apart from the odd brain fart are pretty nailed on now, the problem areas I think are central midfield where we need Lukic back asap, left wing and up top where I don't get the continued favouritism for Emersonn. I'd have Maeda and Flemming in for Bournemouth which is probably our best team, let Clarke wreak some havoc in the second half. |  | | |

Yet the table says different, the third highest team we've played off top of my head with almost 1/4 of season gone. | |

There’s a reason we were joint favorites to win a PL away game though. False position, he’s working miracles with that points return, gutted to throw 2 points away. |  |
