True Football Manager

Hello, my dear readers!

Today I would like to continue my Hull story. And I have some joyful news for you! Just look at the table below to understand me:

You see The Tigers being located in the table higher than Newcastle, Aston Villa, Man City, Liverpool and Tottenham (though the latter club has one more match to play). At last we are on the way to one of European tournaments!

Matches in Premier League and FA Cup

Hull got to very good series of matches actually. And it’s not just luck or some occasional brilliant individual efforts of that or another Hull player. The team has managed to advance to the best team work level I have ever seen from my guys. So I am really happy about it and feel that we can reach even Champions League this season.

We have quite amusing match statistics without draws: 14 matches, 10 victories, 4 losses. 4 losses happened in away matches with Blackburn, Tottenham, Middlesbrough and Manchester United. Losses against The Spurs and The Red Devils are understandable. Though it’s pretty frustrating to get out of FA Cup so early. But regarding Middlesbrough and Blackburn I can say that they are always unpleasant for my guys at the their home stadiums.

But lets talk about wins! The most glorious one is against Liverpool. It was described separately in one of the previous posts. I would also like to single out 1:0 victory over Manchester City. It was very hard game and Man City had an advantage during few match periods. But fortunately Ochoa and defence showed themselves reliable.

Chelsea – Hull 3:4

The most emotional victory happened in the match with Chelsea. Essien scored goal on 10 minutes and I thought: “Oh… Again, we will loose against grand-club in away match”. Then their best forward Alexis Sanchez made the second. And I thought again: “It’s the end of this game”. Nevertheless all the time of the first half my guys showed a good performance having the same amount of shots on and off target.

And in less than 15 game minutes The Tigers scored important and prettiest goals by efforts of Ramirez, Suarez and Rakic. Then Bounanotte beat technically Terry and Carvalho making the fourth goal!

It was the most hard and the most wonderful victory in the history of Hull!

I have tried to take a video of this game but video card of my laptop is not so powerful and the resulting video is very buggy, impeded and discontinuous. May be if I buy a new laptop this autumn I will be able to make video recording from my matches…

Player statistics

Best players of the last matches are: Ramirez, Rakic and Shakhov.

Ramirez is an absolute team leader in this season. Milovan Rakic is in impressive form scoring almost every match after uncertain season start. And Eugene Shakhov became a real gem DMC who tackles the ball, passes it accurately, scores goals from long distances and headers during corners.

The other player are in good form as well. And at the moment I don’t even see any need in transfers of better players. It seems like we can win trophies with this squad!
