The Tigers' website also has him on the bench. Hopefully he'll get on at the start of the second half - I want to see what he can do with Bullard back on the field.
Skysports.com's live match commentary verifies that Altidore is on the bench for Hull. Teams Everton: Howard, Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Osman, Heitinga, Arteta, Pienaar, Yakubu, Anichebe. Subs: Nash, Hibbert, Yobo, Bilyaletdinov, Donovan, Gosling, Rodwell. Hull: Myhill, McShane, Mouyokolo, Zayatte, Kilbane, Garcia, Bullard, Boateng, Cairney, Barmby, Zaki. Subs: Duke, Altidore, Geovanni, Ghilas, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Cooper, Olofinjana. Referee: Lee Mason (Lancashire)
He's using Heitinga in the midfield? Probably trying to get him to replace Fellani. I think this is a smart move by Moyes anyway. You don't have Donovan after this match, so may as well ween your team off of him.
At this rate, to amend what I said earlier, hoping for both Donovan and Altidore to come on as second-half subs. And right at the start of the second half, for that matter.
Slacker. I was up at 2 a.m., which even with my cafe job during the week, is "early" by my standards.
I disagree. You use him while you can, I would think, if he's shown enough to play. (Plus, I do believe he's available for their next game.)
Well he's not gonna get much use out of Osman as a winger anyway. I thought he was going to shift Arteta outside, and Osman inside next to Heitinga.
Phil Brown is a friggin retard. Jozy was in fine form against Holland and Hull has played better football with him out on the field, in spite of his scoring drought there. Hopefully Jozy uses this as a motivator and comes out angry when he likely enters the game.
Not much, but it does happen, apparently! And judging from the early stages of this match, I'm going to concur about Hull's forward(s) being slow, lumbering and dis-interested. Jozy would have injected some pace and energy into the Tigers' first eleven, undoubtedly.
Why is Saha not available? Did he get injured again? Donovan is the closest thing Moyes has to a striker on the bench. Save howard!
well at least we still get the Tim Howard show, and thats a darn good show indeed that was an outstanding save by howard, that was a very, very tricky situation
