Terrible result for us

[stewfil 10]

Hull never gave Liverpool any space at all. They closed them down all over the pitch and Liverpool didn''t have any answer to that. We should do the same instead of letting them come at us. Liverpool didn''t have any play makers. Bruce got his tactics spot on, although the first goal was lucky, which gave them confidence.

Sorry but nothing here has changed. I never classed Hull as relegation candidates before yesterday and still don''t. They have proved they are a good side in this division with good team spirit so have more than enough about them to stay up. They are streets ahead of the likes of Fulham, Sunderland and Palace. All this thread has proved is that the OP...

A) doesn''t really pay much attention to the other teams, so just picks relegation candidates based on size and reputation.

B) doesn''t give credit where credit is due. Hull outplayed Liverpool (no fluke) which should be enough to tell you they will probably stay in this division.

C) is a massive drama queen.

Hull are definitely relegation candidates. Maybe not their first eleven or even 1-15. But 16-25 wouldn''t be as strong as more established teams. If they had to cope with our injury list they''d be struggling a lot more than we are. That''s the biggest disadvantage the newly promoted sides have. They don''t have the same strength in depth which automatically makes them candidates.
