Match Thread Hull v Everton 30/12/16 KO 8pm

[tommytowne]

Is there MOTD tonight as I am working and not in until 10pm. Would like to watch it then, do you get me ?

Without looking I would think not. We are the only game in the Premier today I think.

 

[evertonarntwe]

should absolutely pummel these tonight, awful team with a dreadful manager.

we are everton aftrer all so we'll get beat 1-0 or draw

 

[tommytowne]

Another 2-0 win for me. I hope so anyway as I have managed to get a seat with the prawn sandwich brigade tonight and intend to be my usual vocal self again. Need to get my own back on a couple of blokes in the seats who gave me a hard time when they beat us 2-0 the other year.

 

[maccavennie]

....yep, I'm thinking their CB pairing are proper defenders and will be tough to get through. Hope I'm not tempting fate but their problems are at the other end of the pitch, more specifically scoring goals. I can see a low scoring game given our lack of creativity, it might be a matter of who takes a rare chance when it comes along. They'll be an aerial threat from set pieces, especially with Snodgrass delivery.

Early goal for us would settle us down then I think we will control the game. No easy games in the prem, especially as we aren't in great football form. Fancy a 2-0 win for us though eggs

 

[tommytowne]

Travelling fans get yourselves into the bars on Princes Avenue. No bother there and only ten minute walk to the ground.

 

[Khalekan]

Oh, yea of little faith. Come on. We're on a roll.

Yip we sure are.

We have won one in a row

I nearly got some tickets, but they were sold out, and for exactly the same reasons as you. It's so hard being verbally abused by a Hull City supporter.

 

[Blue Sky]

Unless we walk on the pitch yawning which is a possibility I can't see them scoring , I can never see us scoring and am quite amazed when we do , eg Mirallas v Leicester .
But the glass is half full so 0-3

....fingers crossed, Mate. I think you could be right about controlling the game, we should be better than them in the key area of the pitch.

We naturally sold our allocation but there will be plenty of empty seats in the home sections due to the silly season ticket system they have. They pay monthly and loads have stopped paying as part of their ongoing protests against the Egyptians. Absolute joke of a club, and that is why, like you and I agree, it comes to something when you get pelters from the likes of them mullocks.

Expecting any changes with the team mate? I think he may keep the same side and basically say "same again".

...I really don't know. There are a number of questions; will Jagielka come back in? Will Barkley start in place of Mirallas? Will he go with Barry to be safe or go with a more positive choice in Davies? Will Holgate be part of a back 3?

A few imponderables and I don't have a clue. To be honest, I don't have a particular view and don't mind who and what he does although it's always good to watch the likes of Davies making his way. I'm actually going the game so a win would make the journey home better.

 

[tommytowne]

Would like to see Davies getting another decent run out.
Snodgrass needs to be watched carefully for sure but suddenly one of the better players is in bad form. Robertson their left back has been cack last couple of games. Maybe Lennon again? I do think we edge them in every position and the table does not lie.
Sticking with 2-0 for us.

 

[Eggs]

Oh, yea of little faith. Come on. We're on a roll.

....you're right, Jeff, I'm always pessimistic when it comes to predicting our games.
