In the first edition of a new FourFourTwo series, we take a close look at the star performers from the opening weekend in the Premier League...
Performance of the weekend – Hull City (vs Leicester City)
There are really two types of good performance: the sort which satisfies the senses and ticks the full range of tactical boxes and another, less tangible kind which occurs within a certain context. Needless to say, Hull City produced the latter on Saturday lunchtime.
The lack of incoming transfers over the summer is a symptom of the dysfunction at Hull rather than a root cause of the mass disaffection.
