What an introduction to the premier league from Hull making Manchester United look like the team that have been promoted. What a first half from Hull City forcing Lammens into 3 early good saves with the 3rd unfortunately being spilled into the path of Ajayi who smashed the ball into the net to give hull the deserved lead. Before this game started I had a feeling that United are gonna slug through this game and I think I was proved right i am very curious to see how Carrick’s men react to the magnitude of how many games they’re gonna play this season but more on the performance in the first half United just struggled to deal with Hull’s speed on the counter and struggled even more so with Hull’s crosses into the box and were so sloppy committing so many fouls which led to the second goal to top off an incredible first 45 minutes from Hull and a disastrous 45 minutes from United. In the second half the game just mellowed out with United not really coming out any better another talking point going into this game was the midfield and in my opinion it looks really flat and really timid but it is only the first game of the season and they’re only just starting out as a partnership Santos and Tielemans so it’ll be interesting to see what’s to come. But to top off a perfect first half Hull’s defending was solid, Ajayi and Mendy both superb today and I feel for Mendy going off with an injury hopefully it’s not anything serious but even with the subs coming on Hull still stayed solid to get the deserved 3 points. I think if United want to be in the title race this season they’re gonna have to get much much better today was simply not good enough for a team of that level there was no fight or desire to win the ball back just completely flat performance compared to Hull who were so fired up thanks to the crowd and the occasion if hull can manage to keep these levels throughout the season I think they will be safe!
