They have to be, alongside those woeful Derby and Sunderland sides, among the worst group of players in Premier League history.

We definitely need to be winning games like this if we're going to mount a realistic challenge for the league.

Ah GDM, master of the understatement ;-) If we can't beat teams like this, well i'm off to the "do you want to win the cup" thread.
 
This is an absolute must win game.

I would go for this team.

--------------Bravo-------------

Sagna-- Otamendi--Stones-- Kola

-------Yaya--Nando--Dinho-----

------Sterling--Nolito--Sane----

We should rest Silva and KDB to keep them fresh for the dippers, they have played a lot of games and this is a good opportunity to manage their fitness.

Yaya and Dinho in front of Nando should be creative enough as well as defensively sound.

With this team, I feel we are still very strong despite resting key players. Then vs Liverpool I would bring in Silva and KDB for Nando and Yaya, and Aguero for Nolito. IMO our strongest midfield 3 is KDB-Dinho-Silva and we want them fresh for the big game, that is if Pep uses a back 4 which he should given the pace we'll be facing.

Lets score a few, finish them in first half and get Sterling/Sane off for some rest.

Need one of KDB or Silva to create chances and keep good possession.
 
Not when I understand we have Liverpool a couple of days after which is a Far Far bigger game than Hull.
The next game is the important one,one at a time,it's better the team are winning as it gives them confidence for the following game,they don't need resting and we need our big players to play,pep will rotate but hopefully not the defence
 
We should keep exactly the same team as Arsenal. Swapping zabs for sagna. Need some to get some consistency and ensure everyone knows what they are doing. If we can play to the level of Arsenal second half then hopefully we can build a lead, ease off and make some subs second half with Liverpool in mind.

2 days after Liverpool we have Burnley at home, so, not easy keeping a strong team for every match. Still, it's the same for all premier teams. However, looking at our fixtures between now and the end of Feb, it's a tough couple of months. But, it's tough at the top!
We have the power to win every game. Should get 3 points at Hull, but I'll be happy with 7 points from the next 9.
 
Win two games on the trot and we can just walk out onto the pitch against teams like Hull with 11 names drawn out of a hat because we are the GREATEST - absolute arrogance from some on here.

If we want to put pressure on the teams around us we need the strongest possible team for EVERY game. We shouldn't simply rest players, just need good player management in the game making substitutions as the need arises.
