Hull City Post match thread

[ChesterDave]

Disgrace Why the **** was that a disgrace? We were piss poor, that's it. It's worrying that we're shipping goals at a crucial stage during the season but I think we'll win the next two games, which are both home games. Let's see until next saturday before some of you commit suicide. That would be stupid to do it now. You owe yourself at least another week.

Why was it a disgrace? Those guys earn twice the average annual wage in a week and could barely pass the ball 10 yards to each other. Dreadful performance. Should be apologising to the travelling fans for that.

Been injured and was not fit enough to start.

OK, didn't know that.

[Muddled]

I wasn't particularly disappointed with the starting line-up - with the injuries / knocks it was probably pretty close to the line-up most of us would have picked. But god-dammit some of the fringe players let themselves down today. If we can't bring these squaddies in against Hull then its pretty disappointing. Toure, Sterling and Moses were all very poor.

Yup ...

We were **** today, we gifted the game to them. Any credit to Hull is for excellent parking of the bus well and putting a good shift in collectively - that's more or less it.

... and yup.

LOL

He did have an impact on the game and he wasn't dominated by the Hill midfielders at all! I mean come on, nobody in their right mind can think the Hull midfield were bossing this game?!

Our midfield was non existent. Gerrard only contributed in dead play. Lucas contibuted in nothing. Hull allowed us to have the ball and we couldn't do anything with it. I think that if a team lets us have all this possession and our midfield is completely incapable of moving the ball effectively and creating something, something is wrong and the central midfield is at the very heart of it.

[Bernardicus]

Suarez as a lone striker doesn't seem to work too well. It's best playing him with another striker, even if it's Aspas.

[cream]

Attack was non-existent and a midfield that wouldn't out of place in the ladies team. Brendan needs to buy some some balls for this team in Jan.

[wiw]

If Rodgers is playing players on form then Sterling, Moses and Toure shouldn't be anywhere near the first team for the foreseeable future. Get Agger, Sakho, Allen and Alberto in. Players that can trap a ball and ****ing pass the thing after 1 or 2 touches. Moses is ****ing terrible at it, the guy needs 45 touches to make a pass.

[danperkins]

I think we can safely say that Moses & Cissoko won't be LFC players next season

Actually they'll be lucky to be with us after January! At least we have Aspas back

[vonk]

Idiot!

Care to post a rebuttal? What exactly did they do today or is one word as far as your peanut brain can stretch?

[spider-neil]

The amount of touches Sterling and Moses were taking Hull were able to stop for coffee before getting organised in defence. The pair of them were a waste of ****ing space.

[JohnDoe]

This squad should not feel so threadbare. Nearly £40m spent on Allen, Alberto, Borini and Aspas. Ghost players.

So nothing to do with Hull dominating the midfield then.

[RedReet]

Agreed, but it's the management team's job TO find them. If we can't sign the obvious superstars then we need to find the gems that's what they are paid to do. For some reason Liverpool hasn't signed a hidden gem since Hyppia, as a club we're just not very good at it.

Coutinho, Sturridge, Suarez, Pepe, Alonso, Arbeloa, Garcia etc. not all count?

But god-dammit some of the fringe players let themselves down today. If we can't bring these squaddies in against Hull then its pretty disappointing. Toure, Sterling and Moses were all very poor.

However, what annoyed me more was the lack of changes Rodgers made early in the second half. I thought it was pretty clear that things weren't working for us, yet nothing was changed. With Sterling and Moses both dire, it left a pretty obvious gap in our tactics that left Suarez extremely isolated, and both of them should have been subbed much earlier.

Lucas, Gerrard and Skrtel all worked hard. That's about the limit of my positives from that though

Hey ho, we can't win them all

Good post.

[spider-neil]

Though Stevie & Lucas were excellent.

You're not serious, are you? Our midfield was all over the place (and not in a good way) as it has been all season. Our midfield is so porous it's hard to tell if we actually HAVE a midfield.

[JohnDoe]

So nothing to do with Hull dominating the midfield then.

Lucas gets dominated every time he's pressed. When he's not pressed, he just sits around and be useless.

He's great when we're on the backfoot, have little possession and need to constantly defend. Basically, he's the perfect midfielder for a **** side like Hull.
