Hull City post match thread

[Rammy Blue]

Concerns me slightly that the only formation change we've seen mid-game in 270mins of football is from 4-4-2 to 4-4-1-1 with Nasri sat behind the striker.

I'd have thought that MP would have tried out a couple more different ideas by now including 3 in the middle, Yaya advanced etc.

They need to get the formation correct is my suspicion. The 4-2-2-2 isn't supposed to have that many gaps.

The current formation won't work with the players we have, in which case it'll probably take another couple of poor results before MP realizes it.

That's always possible.

1 plus from yesterday is Negredo he looks a very good player. He deserves to start at Stoke I'd drop Aguero and go with the big 2 as it'll be physical. It wasn't good to watch 1st half 2nd was a little better but I always felt we needed that 2nd goal and I was worried they were going to grab 1. Early days but Pellegrini needs time to get his tactics across to the players. What about Negredos header? Wow stunning are my words to describe it much better than Dzeko in the air and should've been his 3rd in the same amount of games. Performances can only get better and I can't wait.

Lovely but a pointless statistic that doesn't support your original point.

'Goal attempts' are not necessarily 'chances to score'. I could shoot from the halfway line and it would be a 'goal attempt', but hardly a 'chance to score'.

Also lets's say even if your statistics were theoretically actual 'chances to score', it still doesn't prove your original point.

Hull could have had 7 chances to score but Huddlestone was involved in none of them. On the other hand they could have had 4 and he created them all. Whether a player was involved in creating that chance to score is not detailed by the statistic.

Your numbers are nothing but numbers. They don't prove a thing.

Then why ask for them?!

Indeed.

And and sadly all I've heard to support Stoned Rose's contention was that I don't read the game very well. I asked to be educated, I asked some questions and got sod all of use back so this discussion is over.

I asked for them as I knew where you'd go with them. Which you did.

I answered your questions with answers you can't dispute. Hence you now taking your ball home.

Bless.

Sitting 2nd in the league, 2 wins from 3, 6 points from 9, 2 clean sheets out of 3 and 8 goals scored.

He has under estimated nobody and the above backs that up in my opinion.

I will leave it there as you seem to be getting a little angry.

Well said pal, the whiners on here won't be happy unless we win every game 10-0.

Welcome to my ignore list. You'll find yourself in good company in there.

Think I'll cope, Einstein.

Ah we;l decided to bring my ball back. Taking your hypothetical point back to reality, Huddlestone didn't create four chances; he's credited with creating one and that was a pass well outside the box. Your reading of the game should have been able to tell you that Hull had less chances than City and their best one came about because of a Nastasic interception falling to Aluko in midfield.

I asked you to educate me as to why Huddlestone bossed midfield and you have singularly failed to do so. You claim to have answered some of my questions that intimate why he might not, IMO, have bossed midfield because of where I was going with stats about chances; except I don't need the stats about chances: I can list numerous good City chances from memory of the game, from things like Aguero dancing through the box and chipping tamely into McGregor's arms to Nasty nearly getting onto a late pass from Nasri into the six yard area (that won't appear in the chance stats but was one).

Chances was just one thing I threw in your direction. I view bossing the midfield as having a discernible positive influence on the game, yet Hull had less chances, less territorial advantage, less possession and no goals. However, a guy who completed 37 passes for Hull bossed the midfield. So what the devil did he do to boss midfield, keep the score down? Whoopee fucking do.

Yaya, who didn't boss the game, still did more to influence the game with two touches: an excellent pass out of defence as part of the move that created the first goal and a pearler of a free kick.

Now, where's my ball?

 

[Len Rum]

You can stop with the shit attitude right away pal.

I simply posed the question whether he had underestimated the competition, that is all. And your less than insightful reply was to say no because he had told people he hadn't.

Have I seen the fucking table? Fuck right off.

Well said pal, the whiners on here won't be happy unless we win every game 10-0.

Our performances against both Cardiff and Hull weren't just slightly below par,they were rank and indicative of systemic problems that aren't likely to be solved in the near future. If you're happy with that,fine , but if we carry on playing this way we'll be out of the Champs league and mid table by October. Let's revisit the subject after the derby.I sincerely hope by then you're taking the piss out of me.

MP says he isn't obsessed by football,
i would say that's good,
but I do wonder how many Hull games he watched from last season,
my guess is the same as me,...none.City didn't seem to have a clue how well Hull can work the ball up the pitch

With gems like these it's no wonder you've not posted much in your 4 years here.[/q


So how many posts is it? Compared to yours?

So I don't post much on here. Thanks for explaining how it works. You post a lot, that means you're right. Thanks for that. Well done. I'll bear that in mind.

Like I originally posted, I can usually take the whinging, whining, moaning bellends with a pinch of salt.

But don't worry about it.
When I get my post count up to 100 I'll be able to start threads myself, won't I? Is that how it works? Then we can have a "Whiner of the Week", "Moaner of the Month" and "Biggest Total Fucking Prick Since Time Began" thread can't we?

By the way, you don't qualify for any of these. There's some fucking stiff competition on here.

I agree, and you are at the front of the queue in all categories. I'm sure you're just an agent provocateur for Lidl.

Now do us all a favour and fuck off back to your posting abscurity so we can all get back to discussing football you fucking prick.

Who rattled your cage Gladys?

Back to school next week, where you might learn to spell "obscurity."

But well done with "agent provocateur", is that your favourite site?

"No mam, don't come in! I'm only moaning in here 'cos City are so rubbish."

You truly are a dead from the neck up bell end. I see from above the kind of seedy life you must lead because I'm here to talk about football and you're giving me your personal experience of how your mum must have recently caught you tugging yourself all over your box room! Ha ha ha ha!

You've slipped up by allowing your porno pastimes to subliminally slip out. We're talking footy here mate, I think you should get back to your gorgeous grannies webcam site and leave the football talk to those who know what they're talking about.

Now do us all a favour and crawl back to abscurity [sic] :-)

I think that's an very overly gloomy prognosis of the situation, we actually played a lot better in the 2nd half, and it was the defending that undid us at Cardiff
