To me the players just seem short on confidence. Not sure if that's due to the team selection or the set up, or perhaps lack of playing time together. (new lads) but they certainly lack cohesion and forward penetration. Looks like the midfield don't really understand what the forwards are gonna do, so don't know haw and when to feed the ball through.
Coutinho mad a massive difference when he came on, as did Lambert. The latter due to us having two strikers on and giving the opposition something more to contend with.
Until then, the Hull defence must have thought we had played right into their hands. Gave them a relatively easy time.
The disappointing thing is, we have the options and personnel in the squad to make the difference, and we don't use it until 20 mins from the end of a match, week after week.
Is the manager trying to engineer his own departure ? has been offered a better job ? surely he can see what we see, yet he incredibly does nothing until it's too late ! F***ing mind boggling this. He seems an intelligent guy, but he continues to use every conceivable permutation of midfield players to accommodate Bollotelli up front on his own when it clearly isn't working.
Re watch the last 20 minutes Brendan, and F***ing take it on board you muppet!
