I know! I thought he did ok - average yes I like that description. Andrews was the only player I thought had a poor game. And Obika.

He showed tonight what many have been saying for ages that it is pointless starting with him.
Blimey. The guy was a hero at the weekend and now he's shit? Just came up against a good player who had him sorted. Wasn't as wide as usual so not getting round the back and when he cut in, hull blocked him off every time. It happens. Maybe next week he'll find a gap and score the winner. Fickle doesn't start to describe some of our 'fans'

I cant count make that 5 youngsters. Dunk, Chicksen, Ince, JFC & March.

Its All Too Beautiful
I'm not sure he has the focus for 90 minutes and am starting to become tired of him flinging himself on the floor, referees are also aware of him now. he drifts in and out of the game and some of his passing was very poor. We've been here before with him given a chance to start and he falters every time. he made so many wrong choices last night it was almost predictable what he would do when he got the ball.

How very true...it's seems that some fans have contributed to Barnes leaving by the moaning at him...now they want a new target...but cannot make up their minds whether it's going to be KLL,Buckers,Greer....gives a new meaning to "We're support like you've never seen..."
Sorry, but that is rubbish. Nobody as far as I can see is saying KLL is useless. The point is that he had a poor game yesterday by his standards and most are saying, and from recollection I agree, that it is difficult to remember a game that he has started where he has had as much influence on the result as he does when he comes on as a sub.

This.
He does not have the stamina, focus or ability to play a 90 minute match and remain effective. His immaturity as a player comes through as he gets more tired and that's a shame. You can see him getting more and more frustrated as the game goes on. It's as if he knows he's not as good when he starts. The confidence isn't there.
I think he'll always be an impact player. And, to be honest, what an impact player he is. He terrifies defences when he comes on at 60 mins. I'd always want him in the squad for sure, just not starting.

Kaz just had an off night yesterday. I actually think this season he has become a 90minute player, he has been superb in both defence and attack. However last night he played poorly as footballers are prone to do from time to time, no need to really hammer him for it.
APACHE
LONGTIME DIEHARD
Sorry but that was a poor night's work from KLL, poor control, poor crossing, lack of marking and less said the better about the shooting. What ever he was told to do in the 1st half it was wrong as it left Chicksen exposed to 2 attacking Hull players as KLL was wandering all over the place, 2nd half he stayed wide which was abit better but then we had the falling over and the ref seemed to just get fed up with it and it was this that led to their goal as he went to ground too easily. We've seen this before when he starts matches so there must be a problem somewhere and OG is surely going to want a more consistant player on the left.
Is it not more likely that 2 even matched teams played well last night.
It wasn't a game for one player to be so much better than everybody else.
Kaz in the main was 'handled' well, as was their right winger by Kaz and Chicksen.
Nobody, on either team, had an off night (Obika aside), and we should take heart from the fact Hull are a division above us, and x amount of £££'s richer.

Money wise, does he have a big contract?

Lua Lua should start more often. He just came up against a good full back last night. Any of our wingers would have struggled against him.
Whether he likes it or not he is currently much better against tired defences. While he can be effective when starting (the Palace and Wolves home matches spring to mind) these games are all too infrequent to warrant him a place in the starting XI. My worry with this though is that he'll become disillusioned and sulky with being used as an impact player and then leave at the end of the season for nothing, he needs a new contract asap. Was he one of the players who had bids turned down for in January? If so, this could possibly suggest the club will be offering a deal in the coming months.

People are being a touch harsh on him.
The Albion were playing more of a 4231 than a 433, which left Lua Lua far more central. He worked pretty hard closing down the full back from that position who wasn't exactly slow himself.
I think the space he was getting was more because of our tactics than Lua Lua's individual performance.
He wasn't great going forward and he did go down too easily at times. But he was by no means awful.

Don't wait for me!
As far as I could see, he was asked to do a different job in the first half, helping to pack the midfield and also joining Ulloa upfront. He was a little isolated and I don't think it suits him.
He was switched to his usual position second half, had no distribution from Chicksen, and (towards the end) nothing from the ref at all. He got very frustrated. The only time I was actually annoyed with him was when Obika was needing help when he ran through a couple of players. KLL should have been busting a gut to help him, instead of jogging slowly.
Some people on here aint half quick to jump on players. I find it a little immature.
