Hull (a) Post Match Thread

I love silva but for me Yaya's our best ever player, I doubt we'll see anyone as good as him for a while

If you judge the best player by his on field antics , then Yaya is right up there but you have to consider the overall impact a player has on a club on field and off field making the headlines for all the right reasons and how he represent the club . So i would put Merlin alongside Colin Bell i couldnt choose between them , a magician and a King on the field of play and both Princes off the field . Yaya has brought too many embarrassing headlines and dragged the clubs name through the mud too many times thanks to his agent , so he will be considered a great City player , but never the best for me.

THE most influential PLAYER since Colin Bell.

Times & society have changed,which doesn't excuse Yaya / Seluc some of the unecessary shitstorms,but it's reputed that he & Kolo donate half their earnings to their Foundation in Cote de Ivorie.

Yaya Toure....The Power & The Glory !!

Pretty much as I saw it. We really have to cut out the Tiki-Taka crap when we aren't 2 or 3 goals up.
Run at the opposition. Get behind them. Punish them.
Need to improve our counter attack speed to have a chance of the title.

The speed of the counter is not a problem. It's the stopping on the edge of the opposition area and
then passing it all the way back to Bravo.

All those saying tic a tac rubbish in the first half need to try and understand what that does to teams. Hull chased and harried us throughout the first half and this tired them, they came out second half and tried to take the initiative but soon ran out of energy and we picked them off

Ok saying that but it gives the other team time to get 11 behind the ball and the chance to gain possession and counter quickly...see what Chelski did to us with decent strikers

Can't legislate for players missing golden opportunities though, we all know we should have won that game

Seeing as you're yet again failing to understand the (someone else's) point then the last three words sum you up.

Yep, plain and simple. Just like most games we won in that season.

rubbish mate was a huge goal keeping error

The debate about Bravo can rumble on and nobody's ever going to agree, however, the highlights show him coming for the ball and being blocked by Mbokani. He actually has a look over his shoulder, sees him coming and moves to obstruct him. Granted these things are part of the game nowadays and it's unlikely a foul would be given, even if the ref spotted it, but Bravo can't predict when that's going to happen, nor can he adjust his game for it, otherwise he'll end up rooted to his line.
Keepers sometimes get defenders out of the s**t and sometimes it's the other way around. Provided the ball stays out of the net, it's all good. If a keeper looks assertive and calm but ships goals, would you rather have him than one who makes you nervous but keeps them out? Remember, just because you feel nervous, doesn't mean he or the back four do.

I bet you are pleased...

but I hope you are not surprised that one of the best managers in the world learns more and more as time passes.
