Match Thread Hull v Everton 30/12/16 KO 8pm

ah well, night chaps

Percentage football from Koeman. He'll hood his way into 7th this season. To think Moyes got stick when you see what his predecessors are serving up. The final sub was baffling, Robles' positioning on free kicks was baffling, most of our art pieces were awful. Poor.

Jagielka and Barry should never start for us again unless in an injury crisis. Valencia nowhere near good enough. Back 3 may be our best formation as it allows Baines and Coleman to get forward and offers more protection to Jags and Williams' chronic lack of pace so we can play a higher line. DCL has shown nothing for me in his 3 cameos to suggest he's remotely cut out for this level.

Have to agree about the young lad. He had to bury that chance.

Im a Koeman supporter and i must admit i was very dissapointed when i saw him bring on Funes Mori for Kev

I know you shouldn't have wholesale changes in a transfer window but i've had enough of these gutless wonders every week. I'd happily see 7 or 8 moved out and 7 or 8 bought in, in January. At least if nothing else there will be some unpredictability, rather than the same old tepid shyte that is on show every week. Keep Coleman, Gana and Lukaku from the first eleven. All the rest can do one.

 

[EFCccc]

Hull hahaha, wow.

 

[bnz]

Thought taking kev off was fine. It pushed the full backs really wide and high up, gave coleman the space to put that cross that the young lad missed. Bad choice of starting 11 for me though. Valencia is woeful, Jags & Barry in really poor form. Barry doesn't have the legs to play a high energy style. Still felt we should have won that. Wanted to see Del at some point.

 

[Joey66]

He got a full hand to it.

Yes it was like a rocket!

 

[when i score we riot]

I hate having to blame the result on something as fleeting as luck but surely that is why we could not win this

 

[tsubaki]

Davies has to be a starter from this point on. DCL needs more appearances from the bench - looks much more useful in attack than Valencia.

el Cid was more threatening than him

 

[tadpole]

ref cost us the game.

Not sure how you work that out. Davies was fouled outside the area I think. The free kick for their 2nd goal was really soft - player threw himself to the floor after Baines brushed his arm.

 

[Tel001]

Lukaku, Gana both played well. Koeman needs a transfer window or two. You're right to say it was a poor performance but you've blamed all the wrong people. Jags, Barry, Barkley, Valencia all poor tonight.

Lukaku and gana played well? Wtf? How do you come to that conclusion ?

 

[Old Blue 2]

This is what happens when you select two players who are way past their best...

This is what happens when you don't have players on the post for corners...

Davies was a breath of fresh air when he came on, and gave the midfield far more cohesion (apart from getting a stupid booking).

More than that, I really don't know what to say, apart from the fact we made a poor opposition look decent...

 

[Derek Acorah]

Martinez out!

 

[ijjysmith]

Yes it was like a rocket!

I've told you over and over neither of our keepers are good enough. But you won't accept it.
