David Burns ‏@bbcburnsy Just started my research for Hull City v West Brom, City have worst home record in 2014, West Brom worst away. Both to lose Saturday? #hcafc
My team tomorrow would be --------------------McGregor Elmo------chester----------Dawson------Robertson -----Livermore----huddlestone------Quinn -----------------------aluko--------------------------- -------------jelavic-----------hernandez
Wednesday's line-up was very defensive, why would we not change it for a home game we need to win? Drop Meyler for sure and bring in Brady/Robertson/Hernandez and Aluko is likely to replace Diame. Would be think about dropping Rosenior too unless you switched him back to RB and pushed Elmo upfield.
McGregor Rosie Chester Dawson Robertson Elmo Huddlestone Livermore Quinn/Brady ---------Aluko -------------------Jelavic
On that basis, he'll never start again, gotta start at some point lol!....I hope we don't just play with Jelavic up front, not at home and not when we need the 3pts!
If fit it has to be the same starting 11 as Everton imo. Except of course Aluko should start for the injured Diame. Hope that HBA is kept away from the match day squad again. Sadly for us Pardew was correct.
Why would we start so defensively against a team we can beat, we had one shot on target against Everton, we need more up front against WBA....bit harsh on Ben Arfa, he played well against spurs, he'll be on the bench to replace aluko, who I think will be in the starting 11
---------------------McGregor------------- Elmo--------Dawson--------Chester--------Robertson -----------------Thudd------Livermore--------- Ben Arfa------------Aluko--------------Brady ----------------Jelavic---------------- Subs: Jakupovic, Davies, Meyler, Rosenior, Quinn, Hernandez, Sagbo Not sure if that was the team, but certainly the formation that did so well against Spurs in that first half.
If these players, in this formation, all played to their strengths and gave us their A-Game, they would win more times than not. Tomorrow's game will tell us so much.
It really is a tricky decision. It'll be unfair on Rosenior, Quinn, Meyler or Aluko if any of them don't start, and Bruce has suggested as much on the radio tonight, so I expect it'll just be Aluko in for Diame. However that team is simply way too defensive for this game, so some hard decisions will have to be made. I'd want to start Brady and Robertson simply cos they're too good to waste on the bench, and I don't like Aluko playing anywhere other than on the wing, but I'm sure he'll end up in his ineffective pretend striker position once again. Ignoring sentiment and loyalty, I'd go with this but it'd be harsh on Meyler and Rosenior: McGregor Elmo Chester Dawson Robertson Huddlestone Livermore Aluko Quinn Brady Jelavic
