Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Hull vs Leicester

Spare a thought for Mike Phelan.

Already the Hull City caretaker manager seems to be unfurling the white flag, even before Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez get their first run at his patched-up defence.

The first Dugout Discussion of the Premier League season could witness one of the most one-sided opening fixtures in memory.

Champions Leicester turn up at the KCOM Stadium off the back of the FA Community Shield defeat to Manchester United but surely still brimming with confidence and optimism following the triumphant campaign.

Certainly they bring plenty of talent and pace – heightened by the presence of Ahmed Musa and Demarai Gray on their teamsheet. That might just prove too much, even for a spirited Hull City showing.

Stranger things have happened, though. Just ask Claudio Ranieri.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Floodgates going to open. Leicester going to their last season first half templates of comebacks.

      Just bad finishing/luck away from leading by 2 before that goal.

    That's actually some goal. Stroke of luck though, fair to say the initial shot was going wide, the ricoshay definitely sent it goal-bound.

      Hernandez has had a similar pre season to gray.

      Why the lack of hernandez love?

      Obviously they did. Most people here have tried about thousand different drafts, some more, with almost every player at least once in the team. So that they can then regret not keeping them because were ill-advised by other folks here.
