Hull seem to be making a good go at staying in the EPL impressive draw tonight against Spurs in League cup (penalties pending), and unlucky on sat against Spurs

Their manager understands the concept of attacking players and wingers.

Spot on. In comparison, we have played Man City, Everton, Spurs and Newcastle at home.

We could learn a thing or two from Hull.

They're playing without fear and seem an organised outfit.

Player for player, we are better than them, so imagine if Malky set us up to play similar to their style, we'd be in top half right now

The 2 players from Spurs have made their team, very astute signings from Steve Bruce :ayatollah: :old: :ayatollah:

What wingers have they used? :?

I agree, but Livermore was unable to play against Spurs last weekend and last night, as he's on loan from them!

For some reason, Huddlestone who played superbly for them over the weekend, didn't play tonight!

f**k me. People talk shit on here. Theyve got 2 pts more than us.
Making out they r doing so well. Have u looked at the table and seen how close it is from 9th down

only two points separate us and hull,their hardly pulling up trees.They'll be along side us and a few others fighting relegation.

Strange how Hull are doing well and we aren't according to some people.
They have 2 more points than us after a possibly easier start to the season.

Against Spurs last Sunday the reporter said they picked 6 defenders, just to frustrate Spurs and hold out for a point eh?
How much more defensive can you get?

It wont last first season syndrome and in addition they arent that strong at home, alot of teams dicked on them if they were as good as people think we would of lost, and we will beat them at home quite comfortably I think

Some sense :thumbup:

Theyve also played Chelsea, Man City, Spurs and Newcastle away.

Their start as been no more easier than ours.

Huddlestone for 5m and Livermore season long loan. Great signings.

They only have three points more than us? It's slightly better than our start.

Both Cardiff and Hull are doing incredibly well to be outside the relegation zone.

And both teams have their managers to thank for their performances so far.

Not surprised by Hulls start to the season. A decent manager with Premiership experience and he has made some decent signings many of which have good Premiership experience.

They have however been very fortunate with a couple of penalty decisions which has allowed them to accumulate wins instead of draws, losses. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain their performance/results.

The main reason is that their manager has a face like a greengrocers shop.His face is a mixture of potato,swede,parsnip and even a hint of turnip.If he's out on Halloween then the kids will be shitting themselves!!

I still think they will struggle.

Huddlestone was a very good signing though, id have loved to have seen him alongside Medel.

Steady on lads . They are on 11 points not 21 . Could be above them by Sunday night

What a load of cobblers. It's all about the home games for collecting points for teams like ourselves and Hull and Hull's home games have been a lot easier than ours so far.

And then dont give the ball away when they have the ball as much as we do ,and more class in more positions than us. By that I mean ,we have more championship player in important positions than we do .

Re: Why are Hull doing well in the EPL?

Thu Oct 31, 2013 7:17 pm

They arent doing a lot better than us, Not as if we are a million miles away from them. We've had a tough start. West Ham away, Man City, Everton, Spurs, Newcastle (On their day they can hammer anyone) Chelsea all top teams in this league.
