"We lost because we didn't win"- Ronaldo
Nearly gave a goal away.
2-2
Didnt think Meyler or Quinn were that good tbh, but when Mcshane came on.....jesus
I think Quinn was pretty good. He was involved in both goals and was calm on the ball. He did make one mistake when it was 2-1 but that didn't lead to anything. Was McShane really that bad or is it just his reputation?Originally Posted by bennocelt

Don't mind Benno, it's just his way to make himself feel smart.
As winning this cup seems such a big deal in England, kudos to the Irish players who played their part in a gutsy Hull performance against much more illustrious opponents. Well done to McShane in particular, in just about his first game back from serious injury to fill in when called upon in such a profile game.
Just out of interest, do you ever read your own posts?
Build a bridge, geysir, and stop whining. I literally have no idea what I did to **** you off so much.

Eh, mmmm?
Yeah he set up the first goal, but Hull offered nothing in the second half. Bit like Wigan in the semi finals. I mean that arsenal defence collapses pretty easy if pressured, but yeah I accept Hull are a pretty limited team and did as good as expected. Enjoyable game though.
As Dixon mentioned that Wenger doesnt do much tactical stuff if any, which is obvious anyway, I am curious what exactly are his set skills as a manager?
One of McShane's main faults is he dives in too much in an eagerness to win the ball and is left chasing shadows. I love his 100% commitment but sometimes he just needs to stand off.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Even when it's not about you, you think it's about you.
So you are onto me now!
Is it just me or is Meyler a lazy bugger?? I've thought that before while watching him but he doesn't seem to work that hard or stretch himself for a pass that's overhit. I thought He did ok, Quinn looked good at times, McShane was an accident waiting to happen. Alex Bruce had a great game and Curtis Davies, if there was anyway we could get him, would be a huge asset
He's the multiple record holder for most distance run in a Premier League game.
This is hull of a thread chaps.
Are any of you fine gents coming to ny to watch them play? There is an irish guy doing mice and men on broadway you could see. And one guess if he is playing lenny or george.
He does seem to conserve his energy well. I have not really seen that much of him though
He seem to be rather efficient in his play. He is 6'2 though
I don't see laziness in Meyler. He is very diligent off the ball and covers a lot of ground. On the ball he does the basics quite well (and is no mean finisher) but only rarely does more than the nuts and bolts, though I think he has more in his locker. It may or may not come. I thought he was lucky to escape giving away a penalty yesterday. It wasn't a serious foul but it was in the box and a bit thoughtless. Lazy in thought, I'd concede.
Calling McShane an accident waiting to happen is a tired cliche. Judge him on the here and now, and ideally when he hasn't just taken to the pitch for the first time in months.
Quinn showed enough good things to show he has a chance of being a useful player for MON, even if only as a sub. If we were to rule out any player who makes a careless pass we'd have nobody to choose from. He has a real chance of being the big winner of the upcoming friendlies.

Agreed about McShane Stutts, but be amazed if he's suddenly improved, though in many ways wish he could...
McShane has improved though - he's just been chronically injured. Steve Bruce knows a bit about limited defenders who show their quality in spite of their flaws and he's a fan. He's no Vincent Kompany but he's a good player at the level he's playing at. The slower tempo of international football probably suits him.
It's an Arsenal of a thread.
Don't disagree with the logic, but the reality is somewhat different, to date.
