Cracker!

He has deserved that I don't think he's put a foot wrong tonight.

[duvva 💅]

I have been impressed with Morton today such a good passer of the ball.

Not a bad shot on him either

He's trying to score more goals at the moment, he has a really good shot on him. I hope he and Carvalho link up well at Hull.

[Fromola]

Norwich keeper kept them in it. Morton really good.

[Dougle]

I have a lot of time for Rosenior as a coach and manager with the way he articulates himself and goes about his business as a coach. I think he has a lot of potential to be managing at the highest level in the PL. Hope he gets a chance in year or two at a PL club.

Astute observation that. Completely agree with you. Good luck to him.

I always enjoyed his punditry. Seemed a very level-headed guy who analysed match incidents on their merits. I knew he wouldn't last long in modern media.

Jake Livermore has just score twice in 5 minutes for Watford. This surprised me, as I had t heard that name since…2012 ish? Was he in the books at Spurs and then move to somewhere like Hull? Had no idea he was still going.

Amazing how Troy Deeney can sit there taking a pay packet to offer his wisdom, when his managerial career is going so badly and he’s blaming everyone but himself for it.

The chairman there has lost the plot. Duncan Ferguson appointed last season - rock bottom and relegated. Troy Deeney this season and they're heading out the EFL.

Was it him who had a break from football for mental health reasons after his child died years ago? Can't believe he's still around!

That does ring a bell. I know it’s really hard to place dates and years since Covid so it might be a lot more recent than I’m thinking but that all feels over 10 years ago. He obviously played for QPR at some point too as he refused to celebrate both goals.

He seemed to very quickly go from an England international to a steady Championship midfielder.  I'm sure there was a season where Hull had two former England international midfielders in the prime of their careers playing in the Championship, the other being Tom Huddlestone.

I think he scored against us once as well.  One of those classic moments where a player that scores once in about every 20 games pops up and bundles one in against us.  Or maybe that was Huddlestone...

Just googled him! He scored in that 3-1 win for Hull against us in 13/14. First capped for England in 2012 and was on a standby list for the 2018 World Cup. Blimey!

Glad you mentioned Huddlestone as I think in my mind I mix these two up or think of them as the same player sometimes

Not sure if there's a League 2 thread elsewhere, but Troy Deeney's illustrious management stint at Forest Green has come to an end after a grand total of 6 games and 3 points. He was doing his pundit gigs the day before matches apparently, publicly shredded his players, and had already got banned for the next four games earlier today. Talk about leadership.

Another one of those predictably disastrous appointments where pretty much every fan could see from day 1 what the experts who hired Deeney could not, just like with Rooney and Birmingham.

[Boaty McBoatface]

What on earth FGR saw in Deeney in the first place is a complete mystery. He must interview really well...

Bear in mind, this is a club that also hired Duncan Ferguson as manager.

Deeney must have come across like Professor Brian Cox after dealing with Ferguson.

[gerrardisgod]

Not to worry, I’m sure Sky will be filling his pockets at the weekend for some more wisdom. Money for old rope.

[Fromola]

Didn't they appoint a woman as manager for about 2 days last summer and then got rid? Two days longer than Duncan Ferguson ever should have lasted at anything more than putting the cones out.

Owner has lost the plot there.

Yes, Hannah Dingley.  She's still there as the academy coach.  It must be galling for her to see the procession of neanderthals rolling through the top job.

Morton and Carvalho start for Hull vs Sunderland.

Any streams for this? My usual one seems to have disappeared.

[Boaty McBoatface]

The first one here is currently working.

[Boaty McBoatface]

Morton gets booked for a cynical challenge.

[Zlen]

Carvalho mostly lazying around the pitch.

Cheers.

Seems to be something lacking in this Hull side watching the last couple of games. Particularly going forward.

[Zlen]

Carvalho scores.
Heavily deflected shot.
He has been otherwise utterly horrible.

[Boaty McBoatface]

Big deflection but excellent technique.

[Fromola]

They've struggled generally going forward. The goal was the the first thing they've done all game.

Looked a cracking goal on first viewings but may have been an OG. Carvalho does have that ability to come alive in the box.

[Zlen]

It’s not just their attack, which has been horrible, but his level of effort. I counted half dozen times he lost the ball and then switched off for 30 seconds, stopped running altogether.

I think his problem is he's a luxury player which can work in the right setup like he had at Fulham, but he's not a grafter like Elliott.

Hull in more need of a striker and some pace out wide from what i've seen of them, the forward line looks woeful and Carvalho hasn't got much to play around with their attack.

Just been awarded player of the match

I still hope we can do something with Morton. Question is if not next season where do you loan him next? I think it's well established now he's a top Championship midfielder. He probably could have done a job in our squad this season.

He definitely has a bit of class about him. I'm not sure if another loan next year would achieve much. It might be time for him to either slot into our squad and see how he develops, or be sold to a good Championship or lower level PL team. I'd like to see him get a chance in our squad.

It depends if Klopp gives him a pre-season with us or not. What may count against him is we're overloaded with good youngsters in midfield (18-22), we need a bit more experience if anything and a better age blend (particularly if Thiago goes).

He's good enough to play for Liverpool though. Question is where he is in relation to Bajcetic and whether we can actually get and keep Baj fit.

[Boaty McBoatface]

Hull hold on 1-0.

They're back in the play off positions for now. I'm pleased for Liam Rosenior.

I like Rosenior. He's doing a good job there.

[PeterTheRed ...]

I see some people are desperate for Carvalho to fail at Hull, so they can be proven right
