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.

    Yes, they had injuries, but Hull were a good, organised team last season. They deserved their win today.

    Vardy was terrible.

    Mahrez was non existent but like all good premos on pens got a consolation goal to keep the points ticking.

    Musa was very good in the first half and should have had two assists after laying two goals on a plate for his rubbish teammates. In the second half he looked to tire a little but still linked well with others on occasions and could probably have been more selfish instead of constantly looking for Vardy.

    For me personally Vardy is out as planned anyway, Mahrez stays, and Musa is on the watch list as I think points will come soon for him.
