He couldn't play in Madrid, his head was still in Liverpool.

That's it ! What a great tough win!

They deserve something but should be at least 2 nil up by now.

We've wasted a few this half.

Awful miss!

Ugly sort of game.

Wasn't fully expecting it.

He saw Wanyama and got scared. I would be!

Decent first half. We've kept them at arms length and got lucky with the goal.

But Clyne is doing well so far.

We are holding it together well. If we can make it to half time and then perhaps spruce things up a bit with some subs. I agree Tadic is tired, Pelle too. But the rest are doing ok. For all Hull's huffing and puffing they've not had many proper chances yet. Long will grow into the game.

Diame is a beast. He's causing us problems.

He still had to send it back with enough fizz and curl. Great goal from Wanyama.

Because we've had a big change in the team I think we are benefiting from the "unknown" element. You can't look at the videos from last season and look for weaknesses and so on, as we are dramatically different. As the season moves on people will work out how to beat us. That will be the real test of manager and players.

Really hard effort to win in the end. But we had the determination to make it. Great win - but a bit worried about a tired squad ahead of the weekend.

Pelle!!!

Crap 2-2 .. Could be our bubble bursting game.

What a goal! There was no danger!

Yes. Great win!

Pelle has been a bit embarrassing today. Good confidence but some of the shots he should not have taken, like that one!

Still got 7 mins + stoppage time. We look finished already... need a sub I think.

We look tired and on edge at the moment. Not having it all our own way. Need to dig deep!

Whew. Lucky escape!

Tadic looks a bit sluggish at the minute,

Stoke are playing this game well. We need to get the second..
