Heisenberg Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 With all the changes Puel makes its hard to predict This should be an easy 3 points but we've said that a few times this season and been disappointed (Watford, Sunderland for example) Let's hope the lads give it there all before another international break
Baird of the land Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Hope classier doesn't start. Physical game away to hull doesn't sound at all suited to his style.
manzo Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 100% agree qwerty. The only thing that very slightly marred last night for me was seeing JRod so obviously struggling. The mind is definitely willing but I fear the body is not up to this level. At what point do the club say that's it? The end of this season I suspect. I genuinely think the opposite is true, his body looks fine, he just doesn't currently believe that he can score, so writing him off now would be daft.
Shroppie Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Sorry, but have a bad feeling about this one. Firstly, it's going to be bitterly cold and windy, so might as well leave Tadić at home. And it will be hard to avoid a post-Inter hangover. Hope I'm wrong. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Chewy Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 My front 3 would be redmond, Austin and bouffal. Tadic has looked a bit sub par in the last couple of games and might benefit from being benched. I think the shuttle midfielders will be rotated whether I agree or not, and can only see him picking Jose and vvd. Only question mark then is whether Bertrand is fit enough to start. Sam has been excellent but Bertrand remains our first choice IMHO.
Saint IQ Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 I'd be tempted to play Mcqueen or Bertrand at right back, probably Bertrand or even JWP at RB. Martina's limitations have really shown these last few weeks and he could probably do with a rest.
Saint IQ Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Don't see how you can start Rodriguez after his performance last night. He needs a goal, was good for the first 15 mins but missed a few chances then was poor (so could be confidence as well as match fitness). Real shame that he didn't get to take that pen on Thursday, Tadic should never take a pen for us again even the ones he's scored have been poor penalties. He's got 2/4 I think and all 4 were terrible.
Andy Durman Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 There is a set pattern to Puel's rotation. Boufal will be on the bench along with Jay Rod, Austin will start. You can't rush Boufal. Clasie will start as he's fresh.
Shance Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Boufal hasn't been rushed. I think he's ready for a start now.
Dangermouth Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 I genuinely think the opposite is true, his body looks fine, he just doesn't currently believe that he can score, so writing him off now would be daft. Agree although I think it's more he just over-thinks things a bit. As for the point below yours I think CP (and others) are doing a good job of changing our mentality as a team and a club somewhat which is what is needed to stop us blowing hot and cold. Basically we need to become a bit nastier e.g. like Costa and we'll do well (but without going to the extremes that Costa has in the past).
mrfahaji Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Boufal hasn't been rushed. I think he's ready for a start now. Fitness wise maybe, but still think there are question marks over his adapting to the Premier League. Admittedly, he's not going to get that by not playing, just think he needs to be used as far forward as possible so that when he gives the ball away it doesn't leave us exposed.
striker Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 A win at Hull means 7 points out of a possible 12, a string which includes away at ManC and home versus Chelsea. Plus Burnley is no pushover either. Also add in the international games midweek and I think this will be a good run for us. I am going to be very happy with the whole string.

simo Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Hull manager says what most managers must secretly think , he wants Hull to be like us !
simo Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Am I wrong in thinking we've only lost 4 games in all competition's ? Away to Arsenal, United and Inter and home to an in form Chelsea !?
SaintSeb Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Am I wrong in thinking we've only lost 4 games in all competition's ? Away to Arsenal, United and Inter and home to an in form Chelsea !? Nope that is correct. Hadn't really thought about it until now but that's pretty impressive really! Quite a lot of draws to be fair; if we put away just a couple more of our many chances then quite a few of those would be wins and we'd be higher up the league table. Even as is we're not doing badly at all though!
Ohio Saint Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Am I wrong in thinking we've only lost 4 games in all competition's ? Away to Arsenal, United and Inter and home to an in form Chelsea !? And this is why we should all totally melt down if things take a sudden twist.
Dark Munster Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Am I wrong in thinking we've only lost 4 games in all competition's ? Away to Arsenal, United and Inter and home to an in form Chelsea !? And we didn't deserve to lose against Arsenal, and unlucky against Inter. Still alive in 4 cups. 3 (soon to 4) more than the skates.

So were they. Can't abide it when people think its OK for us to drop home points against crap teams because we were badly prepared. We are too soft at times, usually at the start of a season.
waylander Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Watford are currently ahead of us, hardly a crap team.
doddisalegend Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Watford are currently ahead of us, hardly a crap team. Stop that It doesn't fit the narrative some like to spin....
Heisenberg Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Watford are currently ahead of us, hardly a crap team. Burnley are ahead of us too
SuperSAINT Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 Hull have the weakest defence in the league. 23 goals conceded from 10 games played. We really need to take our chances tomorrow.
Graffito Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 I'm up here already. It's cold and wet. Come prepared.
Pamplemousse Posted 5 November, 2016 Posted 5 November, 2016 The referee tomorrow is Graham Scott. We've never lost when he's been our referee, and the last time we didn't win was the 0-0 draw at home to Notts County back in the League 1 days
jamesfp1 Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 The referee tomorrow is Graham Scott. We've never lost when he's been our referee, and the last time we didn't win was the 0-0 draw at home to Notts County back in the League 1 days Could you not have just kept that to yourself? I'll hold you personally responsible if we fail to win.
Pamplemousse Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 Could you not have just kept that to yourself? I'll hold you personally responsible if we fail to win. Further to that, the last time he refereed at Hull, they lost at home to Nottm Forest

sammysaint Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 Redmond will need some rest but I expect him to start and come off for Jay Rod with 20-25 to go. Tadic Austin Boufal would be my ideal 3 for tonight, then have Jay Rod and Redmond come off the bench. Win today really would show we are still able to be a top 8 side and compete in the EL, I always dread these games after europe.
eelpie Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 'Southampton's Dusan Tadic has created 28 goalscoring chances in this season's Premier League but has yet to register an assist' according to the BBC. I can't believe that this is correct. If so, perhaps this is the game when Dusan beats his duck. So my prediction is 2-1 with Dusan motm to score and an assist for Charlie.
doddisalegend Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 I'd be tempted to play Mcqueen or Bertrand at right back, probably Bertrand or even JWP at RB. Martina's limitations have really shown these last few weeks and he could probably do with a rest. Really? if you think Cuco has limitations I dread to think what JWP at right back would look like.

Not really his duck though is it? Today's the day somebody else breaks his duck for him. 1-1 (Tadic assist!)

He's got 2 assists in the league this season I think.
Mr Biscuits Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 Dumb question, is up in telly? Only I can't find it
Tom Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 Dumb question, is up in telly? Only I can't find it It is not. Streaming is the only way.
Saint_clark Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 It is not. Streaming is the only way. Then why the weird kick off time!? Ffs.
Gunnery Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 So were they. Can't abide it when people think its OK for us to drop home points against crap teams because we were badly prepared. We are too soft at times, usually at the start of a season. How were we badly prepared? Our manager who said he was staying decided to shít on us and leave for Everton, we then had to find another decent one which takes time. I think we've done brilliantly considering..

Our manager who said he was staying decided to shít on us and leave for Everton, we then had to find another decent one which takes time. I think we've done brilliantly considering.. We knew about Keoman going to Everton in May and that was confirmed and fully signed in early June We didn't appoint Puel till start of July + Koeman didn't "shït on us" he just decided to join a club that would pay him a lot more and offer him (in his mind) more opportunity to succeed and win medals
ericofarabia Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 Then why the weird kick off time!? Ffs. Same as Liverpool v Watford to fit in between the 2 Sky Matches. Probably driven by Overseas TV companies like BEIn Sports, Supersport and NBC etc who can show Every EPL Game Live, and have less overlaps going on. Don't worry about the people who actually go to the match.

whelk Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 I thought they had to be in sync with TV games but Utd kick off at 3.
ericofarabia Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 how does it inconvenience anyone who goes if it 1400 or 1415 kick off? Don't really know!! Seems all the games are at odd KO times today. The norf london derby early prob on Police instructions, and Super Sunday at 1630. Odd.
Chris27687 Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 Yoshida at RB today. Guess martina needs a rest - been good at CB recently so should be ok.
Saint_clark Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 Huge fan of Yoshida, but he's not a RB and has always looked shaky there. Could cost us.
nta786 Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 Huge fan of Yoshida, but he's not a RB and has always looked shaky there. Could cost us. nah think its a good call. yoshida played in rb in 2014 in our home game against chelsea and played well then, and whilst he has had some other crap games there, we should still beat hull even with yoshida at rb, who are worst team in prem on form. and martina looks burnt out, not surprising of course as hes played so many games with cedric injured
whelk Posted 6 November, 2016 Posted 6 November, 2016 Agree really impressed with Yoshida this season Has been capable at RB and another bonus for our back up CB is that he can fill in there. Usual planks probably won't cut him any slack though given that he is out of position.
