Was we good or was hull city bad?

[F(f)CUK]

I was at the game, Hull simply couldn't get the ball off us, and as wasteful as we were in front of goal, some of our in play possession was absolutely breath taking. Hull were lucky they didn't get thumped 3 or 4 nil.

Were Hull really that rubbish? Hard to tell, they couldn't get the ball off us, had 22% possession and zero shots on goal, don't think most teams would have that day. 

I'm usually critical of Fulham, but I'd go as far to say the football I see on Saturday was better than Silva's, and when we lost the ball, we hunted in packs to win it back, we were quite aggressive.

You can see why Hull do win games, they've got some big lumps in their side, and will score from set pieces, corners etc, but when you restrict them, they won't.

Hopefully, this isn't just a one off, and we take it to Coventry as well, because they too won't be able to cope.   

 

Their average possession is approximately 30% for the season. If you cannot break and have attempts on goal, then with that level of possession you will always look poor. With these possession stats, you rely on breaking and scoring.

Bwaaahahahahahahahaha.......Teehehehehehehehehe.....Hilarious!!!

That's good stuff from Woolly!  But on a more serious note, Woolly does point out the need for FFC to remain dedicated to the task at hand.  This next away game will not be easy by any means.  The lads will need to be at the top of their game to bring home three points.  Let's hope they do!  COYW!!

I agree with almost all of this except hull were one of the lowest if not the lowest scorers from set pieces in the championship last year and not a huge percentage of their goals have come from set pieces this season either.

Im not sure where hull have got this stamp from. Hull are clearly sit deep -> Counter attack quickly.

This place amazes me,we win because the other lot were poor.
We were dominant , superior,even there manager admitted it it was his boys against men.you manager posters looking to
Have a vendetta a fall guy in AA.get a life at Brentford prefably.

Agreed, people have to find a way to make the win down to opposition being "poor" or "not turning up". Fulham didn't allow them to play well, we were superior all over the pitch.

People always seem to want to make it about the other team, cant just praise ours.

Okay, for some context, I live in hull. So, my question will make sense when your aware most things I hear are from a hull city perspective.
