Match Day Thread Hull City v Southampton

Every cloud has a silver lining ⚽️

 

Hope it’s cooled down a bit since we were there three weeks ago. We were expecting 28-30 degrees and it was 34-36 every day. The trouble is that the locals had all decided that they weren’t turning the air conditioning on because it was out of season. Had to spend all our time either in the pool or drinking. We had a terrible time!

 

I've spent a large part of my working life travelling in hot countries, and I am living in Vietnam now. I have never liked Aircon, I always ended up with a cold after being in a hotel with aircon then coming outside into the heat. Even now, and it is mostly mid 30's here most of the year, I only use a fan, much healthier and I prefer it.

 

I find Im almost always ill with a cold after getting off a plane

 

Something a bit different at last perhaps. Looking forward to seeing how it goes

 

Quite like the balance of the team, let's hope it works.

 

With the exception of Slater, that’s probably our strongest matchday squad. Not necessarily the best XI but overall including the bench, that is the closest we’ve been to full strength this season I think.

 

lets hope we are brave & go for it

 

Nice to have two natural wingers start, let's see how it works.

 

I was saying before the international break that it would be nice to see Philogene and Lokilo on the wings and Delap in the middle. Two pacy, direct wingers with a a strong and athletic centre-forward.

 

No complaints with the starting 11 I like it.
Ozan to come on in the last 20.

 

It’ll either work and we’ll pin their full backs back
Or we will get dry bummed by a team who will pass through us at will

**** knows who will is
But we should kick him

 

I think that's probably LRs preferred 11 (if all fit) only one you can probably question is lokilo

 

I like the benefits of having both a left and right-footed winger in the side. Gives you the option of playing them as inverted wingers and if that’s not working, swap them so that they’re playing on the side of their strongest foot and they can stay wide, take on the full-backs and put crosses in.

 

Both teams have lots of quality on the field and on the bench. 1-1, I reckon.

 

Currently in the west stand. Liverpool scored their second and a bunch of city fans cheered. Soul destroying.

 

Looks like Rosie's been watching the Under 21s.

 

Glad Lokilo is playing. I have a feeling he'll have a decent game. Can't wait to see Tufan 2nd half too!
