Hull (a) Post Match Thread

[eversince 76]

Could be, I only realised he wasn't on the bench when somebody told me he was injured. Don't know where he got it from

Dutch reporter quoted Sane was ill. But than again, that man spouted so much rubbish during and after the game I tend to believe he got that one wrong as well.

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?

It was at the far end but he seemed to move towards the ball stop in the middle point between ball and goal, lucky Sanga was on the cover cos we weren't looking at our best at that stage of the game.

He came out for the ball, got nowhere near it but thankfully headed off the line.
Sadly he does not fill me with confidence.

I wonder if all these January transfer denials mean that we are in for somebody? We wont be playing Hull every match! I wish we looked less exposed at the back.

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.

Do people not even read before engaging their brain to post a reply now?

In the 2012 season, we scored 59 goals against teams in the bottom ten. And conceded 16. And took a possible 52 points from 60 . If you think Mancini didn’t have City regularly beating lower opposition, fine. I disagree. Mancini utterly transformed City’s mentality against all teams, “smaller” ones included.

Of all of our managers in recent history we owe Mancini the most. Lets see if Pep can overtake that.

Can you give your strawman a fucking rest.

Results against teams that were relegated or finished 17th have already been posted.

None of that denigrates what Mancini did, it simply lets bell ends who state "we used to destroy teams [as opposed to 3-0 away wins at Hull] and now we can't...."

Our record against Hull in 2011/12 was utterly nondescript.

Not had chance to post since the match ended, but great result albeit not the best performance. I thought overall Otamendi was excellent and others have mentioned Yaya was superb controlling the midfield and keeping the ball moving.

One criticism is we need to move the ball quicker and look to shoot more rather than try and create the perfect goal. But onwards and upwards a win is a win

Give your selective use of stats a rest too. The 2012 Mancini team put every single team, bar Sunderland, to the sword. Often twice. And often convincingly. Home and Away. There’s nothing “straw man” about it. Facts. Plain and simple.
