Davies Long Harper Good performance today. Stopped the rot. 1 point in 15 but possibly worth more than that psychologically. New front two looked excellent. Go to Sunlan now with a bit of confidence and hopefully murder them. Just been some drunken derbied-up Mackem on the radio saying that they're guaranteed three points next week cos its only Hull. Plus I work with a load of Mackems and I'm gonna have to put up with their 3-derbies-a-row nonsense all next week.
Davies. Superb back to his best. Meyler great game. Long. Looked good loads of energy and scored a ****ing goal!!!! Honourable mentions for Jelavic Boyd Harper. Robbie Brady should be nowhere near a Sunday pub teams first eleven. Absolute dog ****e. His heads gone completely. Has summat happened in his personal life? If so i feel for the kid but if not stop picking him Brucey. He's a liability.
1. Long - what an athlete, added something we've been missing with his speed and composure. 2. Davies - he's more of an England player than Dawson and Jagielka in my eyes. 3. Rosie - had a great game. Adebayor was trying to target him early on due to height difference, didn't work at all. Jelavic looks a good player, lacking fitness though. Boyd is really impressing me coming off the bench. I thought Brady had a decent game actually - we've definitely missed him. Where do you fit Aluko into this team now? I'd try him out in Elmo's place - he's too hit & miss at present. Thoroughly enjoyed the game.
Brucie for dropping Bruce at last - much more solid at the back, we won the aerial challenge in the centre of defence and much less of the hoof it from defence - hopefully he keeps him out now otherwise Davies, Long, and McShane - thought Brady played alright - much better performance all round
Davies Long Jelavic I thought Jelavic made some brilliant runs in the first half but he didn't get noticed. Then in the second the team started to see his and Longs runs, for the first time in ages we have someone who will go beyond the defence and stretch the opposition, we look much more dangerous now. Davies was outstanding again, surely has to be one of the bargains of the year?
Presume you work in Job Centre up there? They'll have smiles on their faces as they sign on, bless em.
Davies Long Meyler. had boyd played the full 90 we would of easily scored a second. Did very well so gets a special mention from me too
Long Harper Davies Koren made the link between strikers and midfield which was missing due to us being without Livermore. No real complaints today though - Spurs are a quality side and a point was a decent enough result.
Very much this. I thought he looked great for the first half hour but then he seemed to slip back into some of his old bad habits and bad decision making. Having heard his interview on RH, he's obviously still getting some twinges from his groins (no don't titter), so presumably that's still affecting his performance (sorry I'm really not doing this on purpose)! Perhaps what we should be doing until he gets back to full fitness, is start with Boyd and then bring Brady on for the last half hour when he's fresh and the opposition defenders are tiring? Anyway, Long - Can't remember too many better home debuts. Always rated him and really pleased we've got him. Just what we've been missing. Meyler - Ran his heart out, was everywhere and Brucie's probably not going to leave him out when JL is back next week, especially against his old club! Davies - Fantastic CB performance, he does seem to prefer playing in a four. McShane and Rosie weren't too far behind though. Thought the officials made some awful decisions again today!
1/ Davies/Macca 2/ Meyler/Harper 3/ Long/Jelly **** it i can't choose ! How didn't we win today ref ?
1. Hull 2. City 3. AFC Thought all the lads did well. Long never stopped running. Jella tried and tried. Brady looked tired late on. Davies was solid as a rock. Roary looked like he was carrying a few pounds extra. PA system was crap. I'm pissed.
Apparently he's got stuff going on off the pitch with buying a house, getting his bird pregnant and his parents asking for money for something or other. Not sure it'll be affecting his performances but that's what NT said a while ago. I might get shot down now but I didn't notice he'd played that badly. He buggered a cross up early on but thought he linked up well with the strikers? 1 - Long 2 - Jelavic 3 - Davies
