Hull (h) pre match 04/03/17

The most obvious no brainer to keep the same team. Will be a different game as Hull will come to get a point so we will have to break them down. Another 3 points would be huge and probably give Shakey the job until the end of the season.

That would be the only change that I would make too. Gray deserves a starting place. Lately Riyad has not been at the races.

So would I. He can't defend and so if he isn't doing a whole lot going forward then he is a passenger. Imagine if we had someone on the right doing the defensive work that Albrighton did on the left. Having said that then maybe Albrighton on the right and Chilwell on the left.

Not a bad shout, Albrighton has to start for his graft. I thought mahrez was better than recent form tonight he ran around alot more but still lacking that killer instinct from last season.

On one hand that would be a good idea. Riyad must get his ideas sorted out. On the other hand, Gray didn't make much of an impact against Liverpool and Riyad has been fully involved in the third goal and should have got an assist if Drinkwater didn't smash it to row z.

 

I'd say start gray against Hull and see how it works.

Riyad was decent defensively tonight, and don't forget he chased a lost cause to setup the third goal. He's clearly very low on confidence and a goal would really help him out. Don't underestimate what a return to form for Riyad would mean to the team.

 

I wonder how Hull will setup. It's just as much a 6 pointer for them as it is for us and draws ultimately won't do them that good.

 

We will see both Gray and Mahrez during the game, with Mahrez likely starting given the importance of the occasion.

Hull will have a good look at the way we played tonight and see how Liverpool played into our hands. 

 

The long ball over the top will be dealt with much better I think, so we may have to find another way of creating chances. 

 

We have the players to do that though, and with Slimani and Ulloa available, we have a different option if we need someone to hold it up.

 

If we can have the same effort, then we should win. Hull, even after a mini-revival, are still a team lacking in quality and so if we can use tonight to get us playing with some more confidence, then I think we could be too much for them. 

 

We just have to be able to keep our never, especially if things don't go our way early on, and we go a goal down. We can't afford to let the heads drop.

 

I'm sure we will see the same team again, but we will need to come up with other ways of breaking them down, as I think they will be well drilled to stop the ball to Vardy. 

 

I would have Gray for Mahrez and then bring on Slimani and Mahrez if we are struggling to find a break through.

Amazing isn't it? I genuinely thought that, given the owners' assurances re the manager recently, that we were dead men walking a week ago. Now, win this and we only probably need three more wins from 11 games. Same again, please. Then we can all enjoy Seville. Gray for Mahrez. He needs a break. They both do. 

Posted

Win it and things will be looking a lot more favourable. 

 

Keep the majority of the team from tonight, but Hull will sit deep so maybe a bit more creativity in Gray for Albrighton, and some aerial strength in Slimani for Okazaki.

 

If we show the same desire and intensity, they won't be able to live with us.
