Called it pre-match - Hull have taken a few scalps, can score goals, don't seem to be poisoned by the same fear that a lot of the slop in this league are.

 

We're absolutely dreadful. I think we'll finish in the bottom half.

Look how kind our starting fixtures were, we in a false position.

Didnt watch this game, but hull bossed us for their goals, players looks like they winding down contracts.  No aggression, no sprinting, no fight.  Just a bunch of overpaid players groomed to play tippy tappy pretty football.

Also add on top of that poor player selection and same useless tactics of passing to a standing still winger on the half way line or hold up play but unwilling to pass once held up and useless set pieces from Ayew.

 

Lazy & useless players and a manager clearly limited in ideas and motivational ability.

Look like a professional would be a start!

Absolutely and not look like that ungainly big lanky bird from an 80s Kiora advert!

If that points deduction is heavy then we're genuinely in the mix. We are that bad.

1 win in 7. only 2 wins all season against sides that aren't newly promoted, and one of those was against a team that could barely put out a starting lineup. It's ****ing crap and obviously would be when you line up with want away wasters like Faes and Soumare. Mentality is shit and I'm not convinced Martí has the personality to fix it, but honestly besides big Nige, who could when there's absolutely no standards at the club right the way up to the pathetic excuse for a board.

We struggled in that as well. Weve been second best in the majority of games this season

Seems to me a lot of players are no longer playing for the club .... several know in a few weeks they will be able to start negotiating with other clubs ... for them it's about keeping fitness and being in the shop window ... although on performance if I were them I wouldn't be that hopeful of finding a new club 

[l444ry]

Another rinse and repeat performance that looks worryingly like a recurring theme, Tap the ball about aimlessly fat too often until the opposition has retreated in a footballing style that is fast going out of fashion. Lose possession. Get done on the break with defenders scattered to the four winds. Looks like too much time is spent attempting pretty passing patterns and not enough time on team shape.

[trooky]

We need to drop Faes for Okoli, Thomas for VK, play JJ as a 8, Ramsey at 10 and Ayew as the striker.

 

For all his faults, he's by far the best option we have, and hopefully JJ and Ramsey will run off him. 

 

The team have regressed since Okoli, and Ayew have been dropped IMO

Looking forward to yet another defender letting us down tonight and Marti still picking them come the weekend.

All of them was not quite as bad as I predicted but here we are.

The writing was very much on the wall. 
 

We’re a poor team, the ethos within the team is poor, along with a poor attitude to boot. 
 

This will be your undoing at this level, you can be technically better than your opposition, but if you’ve not got he minerals to cope with the relentless competitive nature of this league, you’ll just get bullied week in week out. 
 

We’ve been playing badly all season, a smattering of acceptable performances and that’s been it. You can only get away with getting results off the back of poor performances for so long until that all stops, and it really felt like last night was that night. There’s no signs of improvement, things marginally picked up when Winks came back into the team, and He James and Ramsay are really the only three that produce anything. Fatawu our brightest player has actually been really poor……. He’s smashed a few in from 25 yards, but most of his work is wasteful, or we’ve not got the attacking quality to complement his creation. 
 

It’s hardly a surprise, as I said our pre season was horrific, poor preparation at any level will undo you. 
 

It will be interesting to see what the fallout will be at the weekend, Millwall will eat us alive, it could be a bit of a pasting.

Not making excuses for them because a lot of you said you thought we'd lose and we did. 

 

But we gave ourselves too much to do with a poor start. We were vastly superior in the second half. We played some really good stuff. 

 

There's a team in there. It's not a lost cause. It's just unforgivable to have some of the traits they have. You can't be half arsed at any level and expect to win.

Run around aimlessly, get near to the goal and fall over??

Easy to be vastly superior when the opponent doesn't need to be remotely adventurous

Yes I agree he runs and try’s his best. Excellent runner, but should be an athlete not a footballer

I don't think it was just that. We shown we can come out and make chances against a team sitting far back. We haven't always shown that at times. 

 

Like I said I'm just trying to look for positives. I don't think it's time for a meltdown.

Why can’t we play with the intensity we had at the finish during the whole game? This ponderous possession for possession’s sake tedium has got to stop. It’s killing all the joy.

Their body language even suggests they are not that interested, just going though the motions. Do they have an issue with the manager or does the manager have an issue with the players. In other games when there is a break in play the players go over to the sidelines an seek advise or direction, I don’t think I’ve seen that happen

[AKCJ]

I didn't bother watching the game. I put on a Netflix documentary instead.

 

Saw the 11 and thought no chance.

We played a hell of a lot better  when he got rid of the fullbacks and we went three at the back.  I hope this continues going forwards.  You cant give teams a headstart at any level and that was our undoing.

 

First half display was the worst I have ever seen any Leicester side produce it was woeful, dire, turgid.  We couldn't even pass the ball five yards to one another

Thomas and Hamza aimlessly kicking the ball out of play summed us up.

 

Ref was woeful it was a penalty on Fatawu at the end.  He was a homer and genuinely incompetent.  Par the level we are at.

 

Good thing about Hull £6.50 for 2 pints in Parkers not too shabby.

 

 

 

[Gamble92]

I don't understand the stick Ayew gets? Another one where he holds it up well and brings players into play. Finds other chances, including the goal. He has his shortcomings but ****ing hell, there's a lot more problems in this team than him.

You may have a point about 3atb but game state is very important . Hull were tiring and holding on to a lead so were sitting back more which afforded us more space - which is what I'd say made our play in the latter part of the game look better.

 

Not sure we play like that at 0-0 with 3atb.

[TheGoldenGod]

How shit are draws btw...all this talk of "being unbeaten"...it's a bunch of single points getting you nowhere week after week, followed by a loss. Southampton went about a million games unbeaten a couple years ago and barely scraped through the playoffs...and then proceeded to be the worst team my eyes have seen in the PL for a long long time.

 

I'd abolish getting a point for a draw, a complete irrelevance.

[FoxFossil]

9 point deduction and we are bottom 3. Ready for a relegation battle? No, I don't think so either.

That happened quite a few times last night?
