#2. Marco Silva offers hopes of keeping Hull up in the top division
Marco Silva replaced Mike Phelan as the Tigers’ boss in the first week of Jan and in his four league games in charge, Hull have taken 7 points from a possible 12 and moved up two places to 18th in the table from rock bottom.
Although it is too early to judge if the Portuguese can keep them afloat in the top tier, the early signs are promising and the Tigers seem to be heading in the right direction.
Robert Snodgrass’ departure is a cause of worry for a side who have struggled in front of goal. However, against the Reds’ defence, two debutants scored for their manager and raised hopes of survival among the Hull fans.
Silva’s men were quick and lethal on the counter and supremely organised in defence, offering Liverpool barely any space to turn or run into. In just over a month, the manager has turned around the performances for all to see.
Their next fixture is a visit to the Emirates and Marco Silva’s men can surely travel with high hopes to take on Wenger’s side whose last two outings have been damning defeats against Watford and Chelsea.
