A 3-Points "Hull" Please!

Hull Preview

       The good thing about the past week has been the results of the team. 4 points from two matches’ one home and one away may not be the 10/10 we like but it shouldn’t be sniffled at. Put in the obvious fact that the “massive haul” was against some very tough opposition and there you have it, my positive spin to get you in the mood for the weekend. The icing would be a 3point Haul this Saturday and that would be perfect. Perspective is a two way glass and you see only what you desire to see, not always the exact obvious to a blind man. In the game of football results are what counts and these margins can be too fine, Arsenal has been very lucky at the least in this past week. The performance against Southampton was ok but not sublime lacking a “Killer Instict” and only snatched a win in the last minute, a very crucial one too. In Paris, I struggle with how to describe the snatch and grab we did to steal a point from the current ligue 1 champions. I take nothing away from Ospina, he did what a goalie is paid to do, keeping the gunners in the game till they woke up, but if Cavani hadn’t forgotten his scoring boots back in his villa in Monte Video, we probably would have been discussing a cricket score line right now. There you see what I am talking about…. fine margins. Results are the koko as we saiy in naija and the gunners did get the necessary results so kudos to them.

        Arsenal follow their away adventures at Paris with a Visit to Hull City or is it Hull Tigers KCom stadium which is just as well. The gunners seem to be getting more joy on the road with wins and draws.  Hull citys form has been startling and refreshing for a newly promoted side, a haul of 7 points from 2W 1D 1L, shows a team in good form especially when you look at the opposition and see the league champions as part. A potential banana skin for the gunners even though Arsenal has only lost to Hull once in its last 18 meetings. Mike Phelan must be doing something right even if its as an acting manager or he found some back doorway to get Fergie in. I don’t know which but it obviously is working, 3 goals only conceded in 4 matches with two clean sheets as against Arsenals same 7 points from 4 games with 6 goals conceded in as many matches. The gunners would need to to shore up at the back and play as a unit, no room for the way we defende in Paris, Hull may not be PSG but this s the premiership and its very unforgiving. I would go with the same Team  that finished in Paris as Ospina makes way for Cech despite his Paris heroics, a charge to Monreal to sortout his dip in form or Gibbs takes over his starting berth and then just a tweak to midfield base of Santi / Xhaka. I feel Elneny deserves a start and Santi at 30 somthing is no spring chicken anymore he should be rested, coupled with Chelsea match on the horizon. Give Perez a start over Giroud again…Yes, he needs to blend in “sharp sharp”. My line up will be

Bells__ Skod___Kos___Nacho

       

           Xhaka___Elneny

                    Ozil

Iwobi____Perez_____Alexis

Subs: Gibbs, Giroud, Ox, Coq, Santi, Walcott .

A nice 3 points haul would be a good weekend starter see that chelsea already dropped points against the 2faced side called liverpool, they are becoming like Arsenal in, you just never know what to expect from klopps men brilliant today ...Meh tommorow. Anyway thats it from us, do enjoy the match wherever  you are and please dont forget to comment like and share........Ciao
