Stuart Mathieson
May 24, 2009
Kuszczak: One excellent tip over but his non-dominance of area upset his defenders at times 6
Rafael: There have been more sparkling displays from the Brazilian this season but was still never caused any trouble 5
Neville: Hull's attack were never able to get the better of the veteran captain 6
Brown: Aerially in command and looking the player he was last season 7
De Laet: Never looked out of his depth against players who've had a season in the top flight 6
Nani: For a player of his pedigree he could have caused Hull more problems 6
Fletcher: Would have preferred to have been mixing it with Xavi and Iniesta but didn't let that affect him 7
Gibson: Stunning goal and all round accomplished midfield show 7
Martin: The youngster put in plenty of mileage to run Hull into ground 6
Macheda: The Italian wasn't at his sharpest and missed a couple of chances 5
Welbeck: Some nice silky touches on the ball and worked hard 6
Subs:
Eckersley: (sub Rafael 60) Steady Eddie 5
Possebon: (sub De Laet 79) Neat effort 5
Tosic: (sub Welbeck 87) no time to mark
