Chez Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Wanyama's yellow card looked a really poor decision from where I was. He tugged him back for sure, but because the player had miscontrolled he was actually going backwards and not running clear. I don't think the ref quite read that so booked Vic because he thought was stopping a promising attack. It was therefore a little harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Relieved rather than positive. I thought Yoshida was very good, but no one else seems to have mentioned. 5th or 6th definitely within our grasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlaine1979 Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 I never saw Ramirez put in a performance even half as abject as the one Steven Davis put in today. The idea that there are some people who watched that game and thought he came out of it with credit absolutely boggles the mind. A nothing player 99% of the time, who always prefers to pass the creative buck on to others. No goals in more than a year of league appearances. Dire.

norwaysaint Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Too many people not giving Hull credit for playing well. We always hate it when other fans say they were poor on that day rather than recognising good play from us, then our fans do the same. We weren't poor. They did well and in the end we overcame them. Well done to them, well done to us. Schneiderlin the main difference, he's irreplaceable and would be mad not to move on to a bigger club this summer.

Whitey Grandad Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 He tugged him back for sure, but because the player had miscontrolled he was actually going backwards and not running clear. I don't think the ref quite read that so booked Vic because he thought was stopping a promising attack. It was therefore a little harsh. Shirt tug wasn't it? A mandatory yellow. First half was the direst of dire, only Mané showing any glimpse of something special. Somehow it seemed as if the whole team had been out on the tiles all night. Second half better, JWP getting involved a lot, Tadic looking good and Elia put in a good shift late on. Special mention for Kelvin for a good save low down and Ryan for clearing off the line. 3 points, clean sheet, crap performance, I'd take that any day of the week.

Olly Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 I thought Hull came out incredibly strongly and it shook us up a bit. I don't think the players were expecting to get hounded so aggressively after Shlong's chance in the first minute by a team trying to avoid relegation. Ron sorted it out at half time, and after the penalty everyone relaxed and demonstrated a really solid performance. I think we're discrediting Hull by callings ourselves crap in the first half - I think they made us look crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your participation in this forum is dire. You do nothing but lie about Davis. You give him no credit when it's due and insist in telling people he is the reason we don't challenge Chelsea. The reason for it I'm yet to figure out: either you're a relative of one of the other midfielders, or you're a Celtic fan, or simply deluded. Now you compare Ramirez (where was he today?!?) to a player who, stats tell us, seems to absent from most of our...defeats! Dear lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly frustrating to watch. Little movement going forward and Hull first to every second ball. We looked leggy.

scotty Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Hull outplayed us, we were forced into making poor passes, what a difference a goal makes to confidence, suddenly we remember how we play, overall we won ugly, JWP seemed to be the difference and still not sure what went thru Longs head in the first minute Hull did to us what we used to do to other teams;press high, press hard, don't let the oppo get to the ball first and if they do, close them down asap. We were under the cosh for pretty much the entire first half. If Long had stuck that glorious chance away in the first minute it would have been a different game, I honestly think we'd have won at a canter. As it was, a hard, ground-out win but 3 points on the board and you can't ask more than that. Well chuffed for JWP, first goal on the score sheet and the first convincing penalty we've taken for how long? , and also well chuffed for Pellè. He looked well up for the game today, it was great to hear the support from the crowd for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Relieved rather than positive. I thought Yoshida was very good, but no one else seems to have mentioned. 5th or 6th definitely within our grasp. Yoshida my MOTM today went about his business with aplomb was the master of his mop and bucket in defence, we are very lucky to have such a good player in reserve. Very strange game especially in the first half the ball just didn't seem to bounce for us. After Pelle scored it was like a 20 stone weight had been lifted from his back. Kelvin may be an old codger by comparison to most of the team but I do like the no nonsense "that ball is mine" attitude off his line pursuits. JWP super cool for his first league goal from the spot (not much pressure then) especially with Friend effing about making sure everyone was out of the box at a snails pace. Loved the way the players talked Mane round to giving James a crack to break his duck and he accepted the democratic descision without getting the aR$e. But boy o boy the bloody moaning from the numpties who smash their 3 year old kids every day on X-box FIFA whatever everytime we play the ball backwards, buy a ticket in the front 2 rows for a game or 2 just to see what the players see not what you see from row F upwards.

dellboypete Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Just back from the game - it took a while. Probably the worst first half of football I have seen this season, but Any win is a good win and considering that we have been mugged a few times this season (thinks swans, manure etc) its about time we ground something out. I thought MoM was definitely Clyne - he looked really sharp and raring to go when he was warming up on the line! In fact I thought his omission was one of the key factors why Hull put us under so much pressure at times. I thought Toby looked really uncomfortable at RB and Yosh (imo) had a really poor game as well, which put added pressure in Bertrand on the left. Coupled with that Davies looked out of sorts in the middle. I'm a great fan of his but he had a very poor game by his standards today. In fact I would have subbed him for JWP if Wanyama hadn't got there first. Mane, who I also have a lot of time for, is so enigmatic - a couple of times he was through only to screw things up with his final touch. I was frightened when I saw that he wanted to take the pen. An excellent conversion by JWP. Also thrilled for Pelle - a really nice finish. Hope it gives him loads of confidence for the last few games. It sets it up nicely for the run in. See you all at Stoke next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 A few times Schneiderlin played lovely crossfield passes to a Saints player who made a run. Then realised it was to Long.

Roger Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 He wasn't much cop in the first half, but no one was really. But he's never been as bad as people have been saying. The 2nd half, as the space opened up, he was able to hold it up more effectively. Very pleased to see him score, that will hopefully be a huge weight off the lads shoulders. I've never thought he's a poor player. I don't agree with you there mate, I thought he was decent first half too. Won a lot in air and held it up well. I've been critical of him recently too.
