I dont want to run out with all the old sayings.... we we're robbed and the like but we were there was 25k at the kc and millions on TV, we all saw it, unfortunately the one that matters f**ked up, to be honest, we cant change that unfortunately. what we can do is gather immense strength from what followed, Chester getting a Red and 75 mins of 10 men, we out played Stoke with a full 11 they couldn't keep up with us. . Robertson is a f**cking diamond imo he will grow , player of the season if he puts the same type of shift in on a regular basis. I do feel cheated from getting the 3pts but thats football today.we stand tall and let them know that even with the officials f**cking up when it matters we will not succumb and we will go onwards and upwards. Lets go City lets turn it on , on Thursday and let Europe know we are knocking to make their attention of the new kids on the block. COME ON CITY.. UP THE TIGERS WE ARE HULL and PROUD
Robertson i am massively impressed with . he played in 3 positions/formations today and just looked so comfortable . his attacking skills were stunted because we went down to 10 men , Bruce pushed him into the back 3 and i was expecting Rosie on within moments of us going down to 10 . Bruce has confidence in Robbo and i believe we have a real nugget of gold there
When Chester was sent off we'd have all taken a point. We all end up feeling disappointed. Shows what a good team we've become. 2 games, 4 points. I'd have taken that 8 days ago.
Pissed off with the officials. Great team performance though. Very impressed with Quinn, Jelavic, Macca & Robertson.
good team has got nothing to do with it, it just showed how poor Stoke were with a one man advantage, and needed a very poor refereeing decision to allow them to get level.
Luke Shaw for £30 million, Robertson for just under £3 million. I think i know who has got the best deal! Looks like he could be a gem of a player, wouldn't surprise me if he was commanding silly money in a couple of years time when the big teams start sniffing around
Our lads did themselves and the entire city proud today. Onwards and upwards! Great performance and as Bruce said in his post match interview, it shows how far we have come that we are now disappointed that we haven't beaten Stoke with ten men.
Robertson's a gem, he really is. Whether he can keep up this level for a whole season is doubtful but he's a great find. Dudgeon has been playing well for Barnsley apparently. If he's back in January we'd have some good options at left wing back if we persist with 3-5-2. Noticed that Brady wasn't even on the bench today BTW.
I know the officials messed up one decision but we still failed to defend a simple punt into the box. The defending for it was disappointing to say the least
I was talking to some mates who aren't city fans about our signings and told them he'd be worth £20 mil in two years. Let's hope he keeps up what he's shown and doesn't get injured
Frustrated with the result / officials. Overall to take 4 points from our opening 2 games is a good return. Hopefully we will benefit from some crap refereeing decisions somewhere down the line to balance those that have gone against us both today and last week.
Based on his performances so far he needed taking out of the spotlight until he rediscovers his form, everything he's tried to do so far seems to have gone wrong. I think he'll be included next Thursday but his current form doesn't really demand it, but if he can't get a game in one of the European qualifiers then when is he likely to get a game?
I'm pissed off too, but it was only a throw-in the officials got wrong. a throw-in. yes, it led to a goal being scored but that was City's mistake in not defending it properly.
By the way how good did we look while it was 11v11? We were passing them off the park at that point and looked good for a comfortable win. There was about 5 minutes straight where we just attacked over and over without them touching the ball.
but would you still feel the same if, following the erroneously awarded corner, Stoke made 20 passes before scoring?
