Final third play has been very poor, Schneiderlin and Tadic have both been uncharacteristically quiet. Wanyama is key in this match as Hull have a very physical midfield and so far he's looking pretty good to me.
Glad to be leading as we havent done much. Diame and Hernandez are tearing into this and they're choking the midfield. I would bring on Mane for Tadic as he looks tired and out of it.
Given that he only came on at the very end on Wednesday, whereas Davis, Morgan and Vic all played the full 90 minutes pretty much, I'd guess that we'll see a fair amount of Cork in the second half? Like I said earlier, Hull's bench does not scare me. So far therefore, so very good.
Yeah, he's got a hell of a leap on him. That's what's most surprised me about him this season - we knew about the pace and the needing 100 chances to score already. That I wasn't expecting.
Not looking too great past the half way line. Like Stoke last week anyone who goes past seems to look up and then go back. I'm glad we're winning but at times it's like when you're playing Fifa and you just pass it round your back 4 to piss of your mates. It's hard to say we'd be leading if we didn't get the luck.
Yep, the spring which Long gets in his jumps has been noticeable in his game for some time now. Just helps with the all round nuisance that he is for opposition defenders.
I'm no good at this football fan stuff...need to hide under the duvet. How did I survive those relegation battles?
It takes a toll on the nerves. At least we have had bad times to get used to biting the nails and crossing fingers in a rather hopeless way.
