Love him to bits too.
Thought he got it dpot on on Tuesday - that’s what 800 games of experience gets you:
Wanted to see other players in a game situation
If you’re going to do that the cup is the time
Knew (from 1st game) Hull would make changes too
We were still the better team even before the subs
Had the guys in the bench who could change it if needs be, and brought them on with plenty of time to make an impact.
The 5 that went off were very obviously the right ones
From the point the subs came on we equalised immediately and murdered Hull until they made some subs.
Even after that we were dominant
Yes it was a weak Hull team, and yes they played a bit of tippy tappy quite nicely at times.
If we’d won by 4 they couldn’t have complained much
