Or should that be Sunday league football? The manager looked to have picked the team from those who looked least hungover off being on the drink last night. (May be tactical genius if we avoid the drop. Not putting out a team to win the game.) At least he didn't play the player who looks like he has permanent double vision off the beer and the ball consistently bounces off him at odd angles, some of which go our way. (Altidore.) It was as if only eleven players turned up at pitchside to be picked from. So the manager had no options but to play them all. You had the young keen kid who always turns up hoping to be picked, who hasn't looked too good in training so stick him up top out of the way, where he can do least damage and hopefully he may just cause a problem for the oppos. ( Scocco.) Never looked like causing a problem mind. That tall lad who doesn't know much about football but should help out for high balls in defence. ( Vergini.) Turned out most of the balls were just rolled past him and if the old pro who reads the game so well (Bardlsley.) hadn't been there to help him out it could have been much worse The old guy who has been turning up for years, but is long past his sell by date, who thinks he should be guaranteed a place as he is so experienced. ( O'Shea.) Yet is consistently outpaced, out jumped and out thought. The lad who runs about a lot flattering to deceive, does **** all of any worth and is always having a go at the officials even when he knows they are right. As it is just in his DNA to do so. ( Larsson.) The skilful one that loves dribbling with the ball, at times making the opposition look silly with his skill. Yet manages to do **** all with the ball in the end. ( Giacc.) The guy who thinks he is the hardman of the team and too often forgets about the actual football. ( Dossena.) Whom when he misplaces a pass glares at the nearest person in the direction the ball went and dares them to call him on his **** play. The bloke who went from what was looking like a MOTM display, to a horrendous backpass. ( Catts.) The striker who had looked world class at times in the past yet now seems to be struggling ( Fletcher.) Not helped by absolutely **** deliveries to him, or even a half chance put into the box. I truly hope Poyet was hoping we lost this game as his substitutions were way too late and his starting lineup was dire. I was ****ing fuming whilst watching, yet again we allowed a crap Hull team take the win, but now in the cold light think it may just be the best thing for our Premiership survival. We were using Bruces own hoofball tactics against him most of the first half and never looked like scoring. We looked the better team for long periods yet never looked like scoring yet again. But then there's the other side of the coin, continuing a good cup run can also bolster league form and not detract from it. We played well against City in the final, beaten by a couple of brilliant strikes not by being outplayed. Wigan have taken out City today by being dogged and scoring a couple of breakaway goals. Today's game may define our whole season come seasons end. I hope beyond hope that we look back and say it's just as well we lost in the cup run. (Bloody hell Sheffield next for Hull !!!!!) We have to start scoring big time in the league mind, out of the strikers only Borini looks like he is going to hit the net. I still wont have us down until it is mathematically impossible to stay up,. Ha'Way the lads!
Thats 3 wins you have allowed us to beat the mighty mackems. Its about time you stopped throwing matches before the FA investigate you for cheating.
