Match Day Thread Swansea City 0 v 2 Hull City

That was a great result for Hull on Saturday. I expect them to get a lot of men behind the ball this Saturday.
They will be difficult to break down so may need a Siggy free kick or a penalty from a Barrow run into the box. 2-0

 

I see this as a game where we play against that " Lumberjack " defence as the perfect time to insert Van Der Hoorn into the line up , Hull will be doing a lot of parking the bus and Van Der Hoorn is a very attack minded CB

 

Makes the victories all the more sweeter

 

This is where the signings of Llorente and Baston will come in handy. Big, strong, physical presences up front and good in the air.

I expect to see a lot of balls whipped into the box.

 

read a comment earlier in this thread that Monty and Barrow have been working on crossing the ball - FFS they are professional football players, playing as wingers and need to work on their crossing?????????????????????? sad if true, however even sadder I agree with the said comment. I really hope Kingsley retains his spot, and a result I would love to see is obviously a win but also to keep Hull scoreless, so 1-0 for me.

 

With two new strikers I'd say there's plenty for them to work on. Does Llorente prefer a Low cross, hanging cross, whipped cross, crosses from deep, crosses from the byline? What's his favourite position to attack crosses from, does he prefer near post, edge of 6 yard, penalty spot? Then same for Baston. I'd be worried if they weren't working on these things to be honest.

 

From highlites , it appears Llorente can work with any cross , be it with his head or volley .
The Hull game is the type of game we must win , especially early ...which I think we will .
The game after against Leicester is looking like a perfect time to play them also .
Hoping for a great start to the season with 7 to 9 points from the first 3 games .

 

Seems Borja will be missing from the team on Saturday, our boss says he has a leg strain.

 

And Taylor will not take part, but Ki might. Also Leon has missed training so might not take part due to illness

Out for a few weeks.

 

We have enough players to choose from so i'm not worried who plays TBH....I want to see all the players get a game at some point just to see how they perform....
This game against Hull will be harder to win than any of the big teams because we are expected to beat teams like Hull and we know that teams that are expected to finish near the bottom we struggle against....With Hull having beaten the champions on their own pitch will have masses of confidence and their manager will have pencilled in this game as a possible win.....Our players will have to work hard and break down Hull bit by bit and we can win....COYS

 

At one time Taylor being out would worry me but now that Kingsley is coming into his own , not to worried .
Guidolin seems very happy these days having " Two players for every position " , heard him say it a few times now .

 

Two or preferably 3 players in every position would be an ideal stat.....Most midfielders are generally the ones that can play more than one position that can be used in Emergency.....

 

We need another striker signed asap because if Llorente gets injured early on we have no back up striker as Baston is now injured.

 

Not to worry , the Olivera deal looks like it's still on ( whistling )

 

I think we need another striker, midfielder and CB ideally. Knowing our club we may not see another signing coming in this window

 

If we only get one more signing , let it be a CB.

 

I'd still like another AM to cover Gylfi, CB and striker too.

 

You better be taking the piss

 

You don't want much, do you?................
