[PL] Hull City (home) Build Up thread

[Buzzo]

A potential



Discuss

[Daffy Duck]

I don't even know who plays for them nowadays, Curtis Davies, El Mohammady, Robbie Brady? Regardless of who it is, I'm sure that against us they'll look like they should be playing for Barca. On the other hand, the players and manager are by now surely aware that games like this are almost harder to win than Chelsea, so there will be no complacency whatsoever. Win this one and we're on a roll

Karius Klavan Moreno Can Grujic Firmino Origi

No place for Ings, Lucas, Stewart and Manninger

It is a potential banana skin I agree but we're playing very well, we look sharp and full of energy but as I mentioned the other day we do have a tendency to self-destruct so I'm half expecting this on Saturday.

It's a home game so we should win really, if we do it's a great start to the season Burnley aside of course.

Swap Coutinho for Firmino and it's a goer.

[RedReet]

I'll be surprised if Coutinho is dropped. Sturridge the obvious one to come out of that line-up, but having been rested last night, I'm not so sure.

[calvoboy]

If we don't get an early goal then it'll be horrible, same as every other Hull game. They'll be wasting time from the first minute, committing loads of niggly fouls to break the game up, and getting every man behind the ball when we're in possession.

We should win though, hopefully we've learned the lesson from Burnley of how to break down packed defences, and we're not so easy to get out-muscled at corners and free-kicks these days.

Home game so they will be happy to sit if they can. I'll take a point now!

------------Mig
Clyne--Matip--Lovren--Milner
-------Hendo-Wijn
----------Lallana
--Mane---Firmino---Coutinho

The only question is Sturridge for Couts as Bobby "the teeth" Firmino is too good to drop.

wijnaldum
Henderson
Lallana

firminho
Sturridge

coutinho just missing out as prefer to have a striker at home in Sturridge and Can misses out too as he's prob not quite match fit.

[danperkins]

High intensity start and we'll blow them away but so use to Liverpool's lethargic performances against the **** teams & the inevitable downer that follows. Good barometer of where we are at this one.

[dizzycat]

We need to get Sturridge firing in these games; when he's on form it doesn't matter if teams park the bus. I just hope we take the opportunity to consolidate our position.

10-0

They don't stand a chance.

[frank the tank]

their good start to the season has come crashing down with defeats to the Mancs and Arsenal - and only a last minute free kick goal stopping them from losing to Burnley (oh wait......burnley beat us as well!!)

They will try to sit deep and hope that they can get the odd free kick or corner to get something from our defense. Hopefully Matip and Lovren will be strong in the air from set pieces.....

If we take some of the chances that we should create, then Hull shouldnt be a problem. I think we will because all of our attacking players seem to be fit, healthy, hungry and happy. That should equal goals.

The question is on who plays up front for us. Will it be Coutinho, Firmino, Mane? Or will Sturridge get the nod in place of one of the brazilian lads? Personally i would love to see Coutinho play in the midfield 3 and play the other 3 further up. But that would mean dropping Lallana and I don't think Klopp will do that right now as AL has started the season brilliantly. So a problem for Klopp but a great problem!!!

I think Sturridge brings a big goal threat to the team and Hull will be a good opportunity for him to bag a few goals and get some confidence. But JK may look at him and think "can the guy stay on it for the whole 90 minutes?" And i think the answer would be no. So JK may prefer to use Sturridge as a substitute to come off the bench.

Either way, i would be surprised if we didn't rattle in a few goals this weekend.

P11, W9, D2, L0, F30, A8

Our home form since February is pretty impressive

[Chris]

They're ****, we'll batter them.

[Buzzo]

I think Sturridge will miss out.

Firmino plays when fit, Lallana always plays. He can't drop Mane, and I think he will play Coutinho - so Sturridge will miss out.

That said, I reckon Sturridge might score from the bench, he's due a goal.
