Hull (a) Post Match Thread

Why is it contradictory? Yaya does it, Silva does it, KDB does it, Sterling often does it. Players rarely make decisive runs into the box or open up space.

That second goal was a prime example. KDB has the ball and Silva is outside him. When I played, I was told the killer pass was inside the full back for the wide player to run onto. But Silva's hanging back, clearly expecting a square pass in front of the defender. KDB tells him what he's going to do so he accelerates into the space in front of him and gets a yard on the full back. He then has room to pull a beautiful ball to Iheanacho. But he shouldn't need to be told. Silva should be telling KDB where to put the ball.

We do actually use that sort of pass sometimes, particularly when Zab's at right fullback, where KDB has the ball about 25 yards on the right and Zab is slightly ahead of him on the touchline. He plays a beautifully weighted vertical pass inside the defender, into space, that Zab runs onto. It should be devastating but our players are too often all standing on the edge of the 18 yard area watching. When we get it right, like the 3rd against Barcelona, then it's usually a goal.

The inside ball to Zab was one of the most used routes to a goal under Mancini. Time and again, especially in the last 15/20 mins, when teams were tiring, YaYa, Silva and Zab would set up that move, often to devastating effect.
 
Bravo getting a bit of stick in the press. "Can cause alarm at a moments notice" that from the mails report, think they must mean when Sagna headed off line.

Wonder what the consensus is from those at the game?

19 home games. 18 wins, one draw. Yep, nothing routine about that.

Doesn't matter if we are taking the points at home or away does it?

And you still missed the point which is that we didn't always hammer the "small" teams.
