Impressive Meyler set for long spell in the team in the absence of Diame & Huddlestone.

Meyler has Hull 1-0 up at half-time away to Manchester City:

Dunno if it will work, never done this before.

[edit] seems to work OK :)

What was the keeper doing? He pushed the ball right in front of goal when it was easier to push it away.

[Charlie Darwin]

Straight red for a high tackle against Swansea so missing the next three I suppose.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Disgraceful comments by Bruce defending that tackle.

Meyler was in the wars..

[OwlsFan]

Was only a sub for Hull yesterday but came on in the second half and didn't do too badly. Had a couple of chances to shoot which he turned down. Lack of confidence? Apparently he was "knocking on Bruce's door" wondering why he wasn't in the side.

[CraftyToePoke]

Hit the winner in the league cup game tonight against Swansea.

[tricky_colour]

Just a tap in wasn't it? Or should I say a crafty toe pole?

[DeLorean]

Really classy goal tonight to round off the scoring in a 3-0 win over Ipswich. A sort of control and volley type effort from the edge of the box into the corner. Hull motoring along nicely.

[DeLorean]

Goal here- (https://youtu.be/Qw1wGTfCFXk?t=57s)

[tetsujin1979]

nice finish

[DeLorean]

Emphatically scored the winning penalty in Hull's penalty shoot-out victory against Leicester.

Usually not up early enough to catch Soccer AM ( I get to work at 12ish for a 9-5 job), but thought this was good but (obviously) Meyler was nervous

Meyler returned from injury and straight into the starting line-up for Hull's 1-0 win over Bolton at the weekend. I thought he was supposed to be out for much longer? Anyway, they won again last night with a late winner against Reading*. Meyler's injury coincided with Hull's worst run of the season: (PLD 4 W 0 D 1 L 3 F 3 A 9). Before and since their form has been pretty relentless.

*Reading's opener worth checking out.

[Stuttgart88]

Was that the one with two back heels? Very "total football".

[DeLorean]

That was it, unusual to see two in the one move. Super finish too.

[tetsujin1979]

signed an extension to his contract at Hull City until 2018: http://www.hullcitytigers.com/news/article/david-meyler-signs-new-deal-2914900.aspx

[passinginterest]

Having a very good game against Man U, particularly first half. A bit lucky not to concede a pen for handball and booked for giving away a free on the edge of the box as Hull have started to tire in last 20 mins.

[Charlie Darwin]

He was excellent. Had a shot to win it in injury time that he just got his foot under, and a minute later they conceded.

[tricky_colour]

Mind you they would have had to prevent Man U scoring, which they didn't but
they have had a pretty solid start to the season, they won't get many tougher opponents.

<MOD EDIT>
Removed betting mention. You've been warned about betting posts before, and I believe post-event betting isn't allowed

[Stuttgart88]

He was excellent. Had a shot to win it in injury time that he just got his foot under, and a minute later they conceded.
I thought it was a poor effort by Meyler. The ultimate punishment was harsh but even if he'd kept it lower it'd have been straight down De Gea's throat.

[geysir]

De Gea had it well covered but I thought it was a good effort by Meyler and the crowd did shout ooooohhh rather than aahhhh.

[tricky_colour]

He is our premiership highest flyer.

[Colbert Report]

I wonder what is behind Hull's great start to the season. Everything is going against them. They were very unlucky not to get a point against Manchester United.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Earning plaudits for his performances so far this season.

http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/gritty-david-meyler-proves-a-point-in-hull-city-s-draw-with-burnley/story-29705080-detail/story.html

Has done very well to keep his head above water there.

[tetsujin1979]

I, for one, am shocked that the player with 29, 40, 32, and 35 appearances for Hull in the last four seasons has continued to appear regularly for them this season

[CraftyToePoke]

It's not like they only have 13 fit pros at times recently or anything.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Well people have consistently doubted his ability to retain his place going back to a time before they signed Huddlestone and Livermore. Yet apart from brief spells out of the team he always does.

He kept Mason and Henriksen out of the team this weekend too which is a credit to his consistency so far this season.

I found it interesting that the article praises him precisely for what people say someone like Arter would bring to the Irish team.

He's never going to be the most exotic option for some people though is Davie!

Thought he was poor enough against Belarus but I've generally been impressed with him more often than not when I've seen him play club and country.

like, say, this post from all of 12 days ago

David Meyler has started every game for Hull but I don't see him as a guaranteed starter for them once every one is fit and available.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

I'm one of the people who he has proven wrong then.

I still think he'll be the one whose place Mason and/or Henriksen takes, but knowing Meyler he'll be back in the starting lineup again in no time.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Meyler has pulled one back for Hull with a fine finish. Liverpool have since restored their three goal advantage. 4-1 at Anfield.

[OwlsFan]

A quick salute for Meyler who did an excellent job in his defensive role when coming on for Whelan.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Watched the Everton game in the pub.

It might have been the drink talking but I thought he was harshly taken off shortly after half time.

He was as good if not better than Livermore doing a thankless job IMO; showed good technique at times, shielded the ball well and won a couple of free kicks in dangerous positions - including one right before he was hooked.

Snodgrass is some player.

[Charlie Darwin]

He played well and I was surprised to see him taken off. Thought it might have been something to do with him not having started a game for two months, but I doubt fitness is ever an issue for him.

[dr_peepee]

A pint says he ends up at Villa before the end of January.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Well, Phelan obviously knows what he is doing.

[DeLorean]

Starts League Cup semi final at Old Trafford.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Currently being given a torrid time by Darmian and Rashford down Hull's right hand side.

Out of position again, but Markus Henriksen has gone off to exacerbate their injury problems, so Hull would be remiss to sell him in this transfer window.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Some excellent recovery defending by Meyler to blunt a United counter attack.

Rooney still remonstrating with the referee over it ten minutes later.

Was never a penalty.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Outjumped by the much smaller Mkhitaryan in the build up to the goal that has put United in front.

[tetsujin1979]

David Meyler height - 6"2
Henrikh Mkhitaryan height - 5"10

[DeLorean]

Mkhitaryan got a run on him more than anything. I thought Meyler did exceptionally well under the circumstances. He even received some praise from the commentators on a couple of occasions for his positional sense when he cut out a cross and a pull back. Put in a nice cross as well in one of Hull's rare attacks of any menace.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Hull have signed another midfielder.

I would've thought they were well stocked there already.

Not good for Meyler considering he has been filling in (admirably) at RB.

[DeLorean]

They were talking about their lack of depth the other night and seem to have a mental amount of injuries. I'm not sure how well stocked they are for midfielders but maybe it's the knock on effect of the likes of Huddlestone filling in centre back and Meyler right back.

[DeLorean]

Lovely assist for Meyler to give Hull a 2-1 lead against Man Utd on the night, 2-3 on aggregate with a couple of minutes left. He's played really well, Rashford even ended up on the right having got little change out of him, bar skipping past him once in the first half when Meyler should have every booked for taking him out.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

I was talking on the bus all happy as Larry after getting a draw.

I heard loads of people shouting and they were Irish. So I went over signed some programmes shirts and took a few selfies.

Then a Man Utd fan said to me, 'Sign this Man Utd top, cause it's the closest you'll ever get to Manchester United.'

I had swapped shirts with Pogba, so I pulled his top out of my pocket and showed everyone and walked onto the bus!
