    Silva has worked wonders for Hull in a short period.
    Hull will be dogged & up for it.
    Snodgrass is deadly in freekicks.
    Hernandez will try to isolate our Achilles heel of Defending crosses.
    Thibo should stand tall for crosses for once.

    We should still get over the line albeit little closer than most would think!
    2-1 (Pedro, Moses & Snodgrass).

    Don't think it will be that close Stan, given Hull's position in the league, we are at home so I am predicting 3-0 4-1 scoreline as a minimum for us. The way we took Liecester apart at their place was impressive, Hull will sit deep and try to pinch something from the game, but I don't think they will have enough to keep us at bay for too long. Forza Azzure'

    Your mate Alonso will surely wipe out Snodgrass Stan ? :emoticon-0102-bigsm
    If, and its' a big if, Costa plays, who will be dropped? Pedro, Willian and Hazard are all in excellent form, nice problem to have.

    Well it worked with Alonso, and Mikel left, you have a very good record !!!!! Seriously, they say Alonso has had a dodgy leg for a couple of months, if so, it looks like it has healed going on last weeks performance. Hope he carries on in that form !!

    Current form, we should "Rest" Hazard over Pedro & Willian.

    Hope to see a different Hull City. No more intentional back 7 defending. Team play better going forward under the new manager. As long as we compete and give 100% I'll be happy.

    Good call. If your team give 100% effort, you can ask no more of them, and win or lose, they do the Club proud. Certain we will see just this effort from Hull, and bloody good luck to you mate.

    Yep, it's **** or bust Hull have to beat you and that's not happening. Won't matter if we beat you at Anfield now, you'll still go on to win it IMO.

    Yeah because you were the only team capable of catching them, Spurs and Arsenal are way too far back <whistle>

    Willian is hard done. but not sure who to drop in there to accomodate Willian.

    Hull also playing 352 system now. Most teams have shamelessly copied our 352 system.

    I'd add there's no shame in playing the system, its a tactical tweak to match s p and make games harder for us.

    I respect that decision.
