Hull City (A) build up 15/8/17

Hey - we have conceded one goal in 225 minutes in the league. Call it 315 if we want to include Yeovil. And we are playing sumptuous sexy football. Why concentrate on such a tiny negative?

For the fans, I agree with you. For Nuno, I'd hope he doesn't pretend it didn't happen.

But that's the Nick Saban (American football reference) in me.
 
What, run and head the ball? Takes all the pressure out of it.

Poorly executed zonal marking is just as bad as poorly executed man marking. It's not the man/zonal that's the issue. It's the "poorly executed" part.

This. Top teams adopt zonal marking and it's not just for the fun of it. Personally I like a mix of both...
 
Neves with a sickening 585yard ball to doc, who finds bright, neat footwork but his cross is behind bonatini
 
We're going to struggle to hold on to Neves past January at this rate. He's outrageous.
 
Back just in time for the second half, Seen the Neves goal - absolutely ridiculous

Hello Peter, Glad you're back. We're looking for a factual bit of common sense please!
I've been making all it up so far...

Neves with a real Hollywood 70 yard diagonal ball. Absolutely sublime skill.
 
Saiss gets a yellow after sustained pressure in the hull pen area & they break & he takes Campbell down
 
Coady heads Hernandez boot as the latter tries an overhead kick

Just shakes his head & takes the FK that was awarded

The more you see him, the more you just can't understand why the likes of Chelsea didn't just sign him
 
Jota wipes out Aina & gets a yellow

Clearly these foreign players are fancy dans & not up for a fight
 
Hull having the better it so far but wolves shape looks solid
 
Enobakhare wins it and runs into the box and he gets boxed in and has no support and nowhere to go.
Doherty takes a ball on his chest and a move with Jota and Douglas comes to nothing.

If we're top 6 at that point (and so far nothing suggests we won't be), I don't see him wanting to leave all that badly. He doesn't have an attachment to any English club from what I understand; playing in the Prem for Wolves would be just the same as playing there for Everton or some such club. That Nuno is at Wolves probably keeps Ruben here, too.

Hopefully.
 
Jota has just come out with a vital slide tackle just inside our penalty area. #fancydan
 
Wonderful between douglas and jota, the latter's cross just cut out before reaching leo and

Very true, but it's putting needless pressure on ourselves. It's picky, I know. Just bathing in the glow of the football doesn't seem normal though
 
Jota into the box - his pass almost finds Bonatini, but just cut out

Boly takes the ball down, drops his shoulder & dummies the approaching Hull player & moves serenely up field
