Hull Match Thread

Not open for further replies.
Attacking midfield of Moses, Henderson & Sterling is where our problems are.

Just not good enough for a team aiming for a top 4 finish.
 
Sterling at least has been relatively creative and that was a lovely ball to Suarez for the late chance. Moses has been fucking awful.
 
Roy Rodgers? This Agger dropping has pushed you over the edge Kris.

It's the right thing to do - Agger was average, at best, against Everton and Skrtel has been the better, healthier defender this year. I can only hope Barca are desperate enough for a Cb and offer us 15-20 million ... It's the right time to sell.
 
Hull are so horrible, woeful team, set pieces or spawny goals like they scored is pretty much the only way they will score.

We have a big hole on the centre of midfield again, need Coutinho in there to get hold of the ball and get the ball to Suarez in and around their 18 yard box, shouldn't need Suarez coming so deep, Sterling and Moses i don't expect anything from, hope yes, expect no.
 
Carragher saying stick Moses on the bench or out of the team for causing the goal... yep
 
I am angry. Admitted. But just as much with the fact we are running out of footballers. Alberto should be one and Coutinho defo is but they are benched. And as we bought defenders for around £24M and none of them are playing perhaps we should have spend elsewhere?? Watch Arsenal from yesterday and then us. Roy is pushing it og course but is this Rodgers style at Swansea? It is awful football either way.
 
Really shit by Moses there in the lead up to that. So wasteful.

I wish we'd stop playing like this. We push so far up when we've got the ball and there is no-one to pass to so they end up fizzing it to someone who can't control it and then just tries some stupid flick or something, which ends up with us losing possession.

Pass and move for fucks sake.

Hehe. I regard you as one of the best and most sensible posters, I just couldn't help smirking at the irony.
When they come off, you're a sucker for stupid flicks and tricks aren't ya?

On the match, I missed most of the 1st half but from the little I saw Sterling seems to have been playing with his head up and a lot more intelligence. Is that true for the whole game so far?
 
Yet again, although the attackers have been utter shite (totally unable to retain possession and Sterling can only beat players but hit and run .. and then not often) the issue is, bar Gerrard, we have no-one with a single atom of creative ability in their bodies. Henderson is so slow on the ball it's like watching monkeys pick fleas, Flanno and Johnson are adding nothing to the attack by playing so deep Lucas is having a mare.
 
Flanno's been admirably sensible. Hendo has worked hard and played some clever passes. That's about it. Gerrard's scored so that's him finished for another few matches.


This is about right for me. Not a remarkable first half. I think Sterling is trying hard, but he just doesn't make smart decisions. Still, I'd rather a trier than someone like Moses, who just tried to cruise through like he thought was too good for the opponents. Didn't bother to press or break into a sweat..

Again, we need to stop the silly pointless flicks and passing around the back for 15 minutes. Oh, and please take Moses off.
 
We need to add creativity to this team and anyone bar Rodgers could see that that team doesn't have enough of it. Countinho, Alberto or Allen couls all have added that.

Now we need to get Sterling and Henderson off for Countinho and Alberto ASAP. Pity there is no Ibe on the bench.
 
I wish we'd play according to Rodgers' principles. Pass the ball quickly to feet. But we keep reaching the halfway line, slowly, and then Gerrard bypasses a short pass and tries instead to find someone about 20 yards away who has two players near him. We might as well have Pascoe borrow the fourth official's electronic sign and hold it up to say 'We will now pass it to Suarez,' 'We will now try to find Sterling' etc etc. It's so obvious.

Heh, I am, but what we're seeing is not flair play. We're seeing percentage football in the form of flicks - ill-judged passes that the recipient can't control so he flicks on in the hope that it'll reach a teammate.

Very different!
 
13 games in and our performances still don't look like they're getting any better. There are quite a few players in this squad that just seem to play in their own little bubble and there doesn't seem to be much cohesion. On Rodgers side of things, there is too much chopping and changing from week to week - in no small part due to what is increasingly looking like a failed summer transfer window.

Rodgers needs to change things at HT for me. We are getting a lot of possession on account of Hull being shit but doing very little with it. Moses and Sterling have been pretty awful but in their defence (and it's their only defence) they've not been helped that much by their team-mates.

Take one of Sterling or Moses off - at this point even though Moses has been marginally better I'd be inclined to choose him because I don't like him but there is an element of cutting your nose off to spite your face in that.

Agree with all of that - positives though - at least we are not losing and we cannot play much worse. Our midfield is so rank - surely BR can see we need to improve the personel

Oh, so is that what Pascoe does. I was wondering...
 
How did we go from Alonso, Gerrard, Masch, Hamann et al to Sterling!! Christ he makes me fuckimg angry he is so out of his depth! And fingers pointing at you Rodgers! We must win this game because with some notable big fixtures over Xmas I fear for some poor results!!

Come on cut the kid a bit of slack he's18 ffs if he's not ready then its BR's fault isn't it
 
Sterling at least has been relatively creative and that was a lovely ball to Suarez for the late chance. Moses has been fucking awful.

I can see the point of Sterling coming on late and running at tiring defences - that makes sense.

Moses is horribly out of form.

Henderson has no business playing so far forward - his standard "run about a lot" performance can only ever have limited impact.

Suarez is playing line a man suffering depression at the creative players beside him.

Coutinho please - might even be worth sticking Alberto on.
 
If Coutinho is injured we need Alberto on.

He can play that role but without quite as much flair & a bit more sticking his foot on the ball.
 
KHL...Swansea under Rodgers had some equally shite or worse games where style or anything resembling an idea on how to play a game of football was non-existent .....you are just over reacting...calm down.

Its like I've always said Henderson is competing with Gerrard for a spot in the team. He's a fine utility player but doesn't offer us enough in attack.
I really hope he proves me wrong in the 2nd half
