Hull City v Liverpool 7.45 PM, not on the telly cos its so boring

Harry Palmr

Yep the game no one has been waiting for (though Hull's fan will be concerned to get something from this) sees Steve Bruce's charges host a somewhat dilapidated Liverpool who will once again be without the three players they really need but with Gerrard and Johnson quite possibly. Hulls most important absentees are Diamé and Jelavić

More intriguingly there is a suggestion that Samed Yesil will be in the match squad while Rodgers dropped a hint that Ibe could be moved central but surely not tonight, he could certainly become a decent No 10 if Coutinho was dropped deeper.

A win here for Liverpool will put real pressure on both Manchester clubs esp united, it'll be interesting to see if united can hang on to top four with Liverpool breathing down their neck.

nervy 1 nil win to the visitors.

I wonder how many empty away seats there will be with fans trying to organise a boycott

Even a Liverpool win will put next to no pressure on Utd or especially City. I expect Hull to want something from the game more though, so I suspect they'll get at least a point.

Liverpool's visit to Hull last year was possibly their worst performance of the season, not that it's relevant for tonight of course.

Hull or Draw for me.

And 2 goals.

Blooding Yesil could be the only positive from the remainder of the season. It'll be a big step up for him.

Harry Palmr

At least he'd have the advantage of the opposition not knowing anything about him.

Caovyn Lineah

We haven't beat Hull at the KC since 2009

Like 90% of posters here also!
(You and I are excempt, obviously)

2-1 Pool, no pressure to win really, so we probably will in that case.

Harry Palmr

We're just a pair of Reserves hipsters!

Caovyn Lineah

How has Yesil been since getting back from his injuries? I used to watch a lot of the reserves but haven't seen much since LFC TV stopped being free. Obviously he is scoring goals but how have his performances been?

PS, NO AGRESSION IN THIS POST

5starpool

Yesil will probably do both cruciates at the same time and get a nosebleed if he plays.

OwaynOTT

I can only see a Liverpool win and a resounding one at that.
Sure they will probably go on to win all the remaining games comfortably and narrowly miss out on fourth.

I think I'll watch Fair City instead, I don't watch Fair City.

Wouldn't surprise me. No pressure on them now.

8-0 Hull

James Pearce ‏@JamesPearceEcho
Just one change for #LFC tonight as Allen replaces Gerrard.

Hopefully the players have actually done some work on playing with a striker like Balotelli and we get people around him and runners off him.

Subs Jones, Toure, Lambert, Manquillo, Lallana, Brannagan, Markovic

So much for Yesil!

marklazarcovic

Going for a 2-2 draw. Hull City need the win though.

Bolded Caps On sentences screams aggression to me .. ..

You want to talk about it, buddy?....
Because I know somebody if you do!

Harry Palmr

My dish is picking up a decent signal its on BBC 5live radio as well by the way

Ardent

Fancy Hull to win this

NukaCola

Looked like a little kick on Mario there?

Too Tough To Die

Huddlestone kicked Balotelli in the arse. Commentators didn't pick up on it.

NIMAN

Whatever the outcome of the game and no matter how Pool play, I can't wait to hear Rodgers spin.

No doubt they will be outstanding like they were in the 0-0 draw with WBA at the weekend.

NukaCola

Going for goal? Bit of a waste.

NukaCola

Definite kick by Huddleston......scummy, but got the reaction from Mario as intended

niallo27

Mario kicked while on the ground and they blame him for reacting.

Are you surprised? Same old same old

Mignolet is a super shot stopper.......different player since he got dropped

No not in the slightest.

NukaCola

Naive from Ibe......

Caovyn Lineah

Started the same as the weekend, plenty of possession but not doing much with it once we get to the final 3rd.

NukaCola

Hull are an awful side. Not getting 3 points here will be a disgrace.

Need a goal to draw them out and leave space at the back, it doesnt look like it will be easy though.

mada999

sigh....

Caovyn Lineah

Why is Glen Johnson still employed by our club

NukaCola

All the quickness of our counters are gone.....we have become so blunt in attack this year

Osmosis Jones

Such a wasted opportunity from Johnson

NukaCola

Shocking from Glen Jo........why is he playing?

No confidence in our attack at the moment.......

That's what happens with wing backs and lack of pace up top.

Our manager thinks he's outstanding.

Balotellis concentration is one of the worst I've seen from a pro.....

Yep.

4 clean sheets in 15 before being dropped

9 clean sheets in 15 since
