Hull's pressing is hilarious. You either do it as a team, or you don't do it. Having one player close the CB down while his teammates leave all the other defenders and deep midfielders free for a pass is counterproductive if anything.

That's not true at all. They work hard, they simply lack a bit of quality.

It's a typical Bruce team. Effort only gets you so far and when that runs out...

Is that confirmed?

Shit.
Yeah, ECHO was reporting it before.

It's gonna be Kelly/Johnson as our full backs.

Our team will line up like this:

Mignolet
Kelly Skrtel Sakho Johnson
Lucas
Allen Henderson
Sterling Suarez Coutinho

We should cause City problems, but it's the wide areas they can really hurt us. They could drag Sakho or Skrtel out of defence, leaving huge space for someone like Toure to capitalise on.

How United can be drawing 2-2 against this Hull side is beyond me.

I think the question is, how have Hull conceded two goals? The second I can understand - it was an excellent hit by Rooney, however the first was pretty poor. Smalling shouldn't have been able to get a jump like he did.

Hull have a pretty excellent defensive record at home. I wouldn't put it past them to win this game except for one thing: Steve Bruce teams always, always lose to Man Utd.

I'd rather want Kompany out. He's the only top quality defender they have. And even with him City have looked vulnerable at the back.
Yeah, I think we'll be fine against their defense even with Kompany.

It's the midfield battle I'm worried about. I'd rather face a Fernandinho/Milner midfield rather than a Fernandinho/Touré one. When those two play together they bring the best out of each other, we need a repeat of our midfield performance against Spurs to get anything out of this game.
 
I still don't get why United fans seem to hate him that much.

It's true.

It's like everyone in this thread disappeared when these sagas happened, especially the last one.

Okay, I get it. Rooney says things the others only think, he's selfish and not the brightest fellow, but he's still a great football player and he's stayed and despite his disappointment/anger he kept delivering.

He was pretty shit last season. Has been great this season though.
