Hull (a) Pre Match Thread

[MarsLlama]

Hull game possibly more important than Liverpool. Can't afford to lose. Full team please.

Pep has noticed the press making a point on the number of changes to the team so I dont expect much change. Yaya to be more involved maybe captain. I think he coould become critical to us his stats and performance in yesterdays game was tip top.

Bravo

I can guarantee you he doesn't give a single second of thought towards the press criticising the numbers of changes.

He won't care at all. He won everything at Barcelona and nearly everything at Bayern changing his teams constantly, why change because some neanderthal journalists and Danny Mills criticise it?

I'd play the same team as yesterday but rest Yaya for Fernandinho and bring in Stones

 

[Bozo]

Would like to see our 2nd half team from yesterday. Feeling confident with this one - big win to get things moving again!

I thought Yaya did really well against Arsenal, but Fernandinho has to come back in. That would be the only change I'd make.

Bit wary of Hull. They played very well against West Ham and look like they are giving it everything at the moment.

Same back 4 as finished the last game. Give Dinho a run out.
Rest Yaya, KDB and Sane but have them on the bench if needed
Try to get the game sewn up by half time

Not sure how you know that. But he was talking about stability in the team at the last press conf, might have been coincidence but straight after the press have been highlighting it I dont think so.... He's canny I think. Before the press go too far with a story he nips it in the bud. He's a master at playing the press and the public. So he has to be aware of them.

He's famously not a master at playing the press, the German media disliked him greatly, and in Spain he conceded he'd never win in the press conferences.

The press have been highlighting it for at least 2 months, I hardly think you can say he stopped it before the press went too far either, it's been the first comment in every article and conversation about us in every paper and TV show for weeks.

This is about right, we can consider this game the foreplay to Liverpool. Both equally important though.

Who do Liverpool play?

I would also play stones I am not sure over who, a bit harsh to give him an extended absence.
