According to my on-screen program schedule, Stoke City FC v Hull City AFC is on Sportsnet One (SN1) starting half an hour before kick-off. Do you have that channel?
Hull City Official @HullCity 2m2 minutes ago @HullCity Starting XI: McGregor, Dawson, Bruce, McShane, Elmohamady, Meyler, Livermore, Huddlestone, Figueroa, Aluko, Ramírez #STKHUL @HullCity Subs: Harper, Davies, Hernández, Sagbo, Robertson, N’Doye, Quinn #STKHUL
I'll get Jimmy to start on me, I'll just say "looking good Bri, always liked you i thought you kid was a bit of a **** though"
What? Jelavic being left out? Mental. Radio Rental. I never saw that coming in a thousand years. Ok I'll stop. But I did say before that it'd be beneficial to leave him out of this one; if his knee has flared up then it's definitely for the best. Interesting he's put Figueroa in ahead of A-bob, I wonder if he thinks the latter isn't physical enough.
Ramirez & Aluko are powder puff vs a big physical team.. smells of putting all your eggs in the Sunderland basket which is risky
Best to leave Jela out if there are concerns over an injury with the games we have coming up. May be good to tweak things a bit, like Stan said earlier, it is horses for courses and we will know at 4:50 if the selection is correct. Rather than throwing in the towel let's see what happens. If we do need to change things during the game, at least we have goal threats on the bench.
Interesting team selection to say the least , Figgy and Aluko , not many people would have guessed that
We all called the Man City line up which was similarly bizarre, but it went okay. Personally, I think its a ****ing ridiculous lineup, but who knows.
