Does anyone believe in Hull City?



After posting an upset at home over a resilient and prominent Bournemouth squad, the Tigers are looking forward to a major rebound in this campaign and see the lights of another campaign in the ranks of Premiership.

So far, the Tigers have posted two back-to-back wins since the arrival of their new man at the helm, with Swansea and he Cherries in FA and league play, these being among their latest victims.

This squad is seeing the lights of an all-around revival, but with work to do in order to turn things around and prepare them for their next week match against league leader Chelsea.

It will not come easy for the Hull City bunch, if it wants to start its escape from the abyss they are in and for sure they will like to get out of relegation ASAP.

In the eyes of their new Boss, the task looks tough but not impossible as anything can happen and with time in their side and the league is far from being over, the possibilities of this club making a positive run is in the works.

As the colossus of East Riding Yorkshire, KCOM Stadium saw how their squad after being put for the count with just three minutes of play, their Boys fought off with such spirit that at the end they saw the fruits of their labor and crown it with a marvelous win.

The bad start shows off how this club needs to polish some negatives in its eleven and start playing some serious football and so far with two matches since the arrival of their new Boss Marco Silva at Yorkshire.

 Making his presentation notable in his debut in league play and his first ever in Premiership, the man that has his managerial career span in his native Portugal and Greece, now will be looking forward to make an impact in his CV.

Especially in today’s game, he put his mark and seal of what has to come from his Hull City Tigers looking forward to make the escape and save its hive from relegation into the always-infamous Championship League.

With a match that exposed the weakness of  the Tigers defense, immediately the visitors  took advantage of their hosts mistakes and put themselves in the scoreboard, when a flagrant foul by Tigers defender Harry Maguire over Ryan Fraser.

As Junior Stanislas converted, the penal and beating the local’s keeper Eldin Jakupovic for the Cherries lead and with just three minutes in the clock, many in attendance became suddenly wary if not doubtful of its squad making a comeback.

As the night was, still young and the Tigers initial eleven, finally saw the return of one of its most valuable assets in their attack, Uruguayan Abel Hernandez who became the man of the match with his double.

Opportune and amazing was the way to describe the Andean performance when in the match after 29 minutes later it is when he and Andrew Robertson contributing with a nice pass for the equalizer, and sending the whole of Yorkshire into frenzy.

As the half finished with a tie score, the jubilation and excitement of the Tigers followers not believing the push and perseverance this squad was showing off in the field, saw how their Boys came poised and ready in the second half.

One more time we were to see the likes of an inspired striker in Abel Hernandez once again who left footed pushed the ball to the amazement of the Cherries keeper and his defensive backfield and the turnaround for the Tigers.

Once again, we saw another of the Tigers, lethal combination of Robert Snodgrass and the Uruguay native that put the cartoons with his second goal of the match in the 50th minute, scoring the go-ahead goal to give the match a new direction with a 2-1 lead.

No later the visiting Cherries saw the pressure and losing control of the match as every minute passed its when Bournemouth  defender Tyrone Mings, no later than ten minutes passed, when he committed a bubu that contributed for the final 3-1 score.

Very well, assuring and important win for the downtrodden Tigers, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and maybe this becomes a turnaround for them. 

At the end, this match exposed the confidence and the newly instituted approach institute in such little time by the Portuguese, elevating the prospects for the Tigers of making a serious comeback in this campaign.

Previously the ay this squad was playing a sort of no direction football despite the efforts placed by their latest manager, today this eleven showed off its determination and now looking more ambitious than ever and the results speak loudly.
