Even though Hull succumbed to a 2-0 defeat, they performed admirably in the final half hour following an attacking triple substitution by manager Steve Bruce. They had spells of possession late in the game where they were parked outside the Liverpool box, with only the final delivery letting them down. Tom Huddlestone’s radar seemed a bit off today, but his passing did improve as the game went on.

With the 6-0 hammering of Fulham fresh in memory, Hull would have been expected to put up more of a fight, but the quality they showed would undoubtedly encourage their fans about an extended stay in the top flight of English football. They have done really well in home games so far this season, and if they are able to continue, they should be safe come May.
