1-5, international convention, the home team is in front, just looking at the score, many people will think that the home team was slaughtered by the away team, will think that the home team is too weak, the away team is too strong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Maybe in some ways, Hull City is worse than the old English Premier League fritter Stoke City, but as long as the fans who watched this game will say, this is a one-sided game, the home is weak and the away is strong, Hull City's performance tonight is completely at the level of Arsenal, Manchester City and other giant teams.

If it weren't for the help of the post, the sudden outburst of veteran goalkeeper Lee Grant, and the Hull City attackers squandered too many chances, Stoke City would have been beaten into a sieve.

With 29 shots on goal and 18 on target, 46 per cent possession and 81 per cent pass completion, Hull City's stats simply crushed the home side.

Robson Kanu scored twice and also provided an assist to make him the man of the match.

Steven Sessegnon made a number of dangerous passes and contributed two assists.

Ryan Babel scored his first goal for the club, Jack Wilshere was brilliant with a shot and a pass, and former United talent Federico Macheda, who came on as a substitute, scored on the pitch to head Enrique's cross into the back of the net.

Stoke City eventually got a face-saving goal from Marco Arnautovic.

With only a full bench lineup, it defeated Stoke City, which was half a substitute and half the main team, and just by the content of the game, we have to admit that Hull City is no longer the relegation favorite in the eyes of people before the season, but an extraordinary promotion horse with the strength to compete for a European place.

Manchester United, who suffered back-to-back league defeats, came to Northampton to end a 3-1 losing streak, and the Carabao Cup could be a cup title worth fighting for for Manchester United in the face of unfavourable league conditions.

Although they reached the round of 16 in the Carabao Cup, they are back in the league at the weekend when they face a surging Reds side Liverpool at Anfield.

This is the first time Hull City have met a strong team on the road, and it is also a key battle to test whether this new team can enter the European race.

Of course, returning to home in the next round will be another big club from London, Chelsea, and it can be said that the results of these two rounds will be the key to whether Hull City can stay in the top five.

So this week's Curttingham training base can't be entered, you can only hear it, you can't see it.

With the departure of Zhu Zeming, one of the two central defenders in the original main lineup, Niu Shuai needs to rebuild a new combination of central defenders, which is not a simple 1+1, different combinations of central defenders will form different defensive tactical systems because of different techniques and styles.

Zhu Zeming's ability to occupy a place in the main lineup as a career change is not because Niu Shuai is nepotistic, but because in his tactical play, he needs to have a very stable and reliable point of play on the backline.

Among Hull City's central defenders, there are only one and a half who meet the criteria of Niu Shuai, one is Zhu Zeming, and half is Uruguay international central defender Martin Cáceres.

The central defender is now the trend of football tactical play in the new era, and basically every giant must be equipped with a central defender who can play the ball, can organize and launch attacks in the backfield, and has first-class footwork.

So did Josep Guardiola, Mauricio Pochettino and Arsène Wenger.

Pep Guardiola, in particular, has to find a good centre-back and goalkeeper at the back for every new team to implement his tactical idea of attacking from the back.

Zhu Zeming is not there, in Hull City's central defender combination, except for Cáceres who occupies a position with rich experience in the tournament, he is paired with only Karum Chambers and the team's vice-captain Curtis Davis.

Don't look at the three central defenders, Álvaro Arbeloa and Michael Essien can play as central defenders, of course, it is also a last resort, after all, the effect of temporary cameos may not meet their requirements.

Squawka, a well-known data website, selected an organisational core from each of the 20 teams in the Premier League and ranked them once.

Squawka is the vague concept of an offensive playmaker, which doesn't have an official term in football, but every team's fans know what it means when they see a player on their home team being called an offensive playmaker.

"Offensive organizer" is a word that everyone understands, even if it doesn't have a fixed meaning.

So how exactly do you define this term? Is it a position on the field? Or is it a style of play?

No one really knows, but everyone knows for sure.

Creating chances is the most appropriate measure of an organization's attacking skills, but that alone is not enough.

Data is indeed convincing, but in the case of incomplete context, data can also deceive people, not to mention some things that cannot be explained by data.

To give you a simple example, Francisco Fabregas usually has better stats than Xavi Fernandez, but can it be said that he is better than Xavi?

Of course not.

Burnley's Stephen De Fale was last on the list for three chances created in 2016, and the power midfielder was not really an attacking playmaker because Burnley did not establish a core in attack.

Truth be told, Burnley didn't create many chances as a team.

In 19th place is Stoke City's Swiss winger Xerdan Shaqiri, who has created 22 chances this year.

Stocky and a phenomenal talent, he rarely showed his talent at Stoke City. His performances have been up and down, and similarly, Stoke City's results have been up and down.

No. 18 is Bournemouth's Andrew Surman, who has created 22 chances this year and has had 22 chances this year, thanks to the team's emulating Pep Guardiola's tactics, Suhrman has no trouble holding the ball, winning the ball back and pushing forward for Bournemouth's more creative forwards.

Middlesbrough's Gaston Ramirez, despite creating six chances, was unable to play at Southampton and was revived with the help of Myburgh boss Aitto Karanka, despite creating six chances given that he only joined the club in the summer and played in the number 10 role. At 17th, he looks very close to the talented teenager who was once in Bologna.

The 16th is Sunderland's winger, and Belgian prodigy Adnan Januzaj, who is on loan from the Red Devils Manchester United, has returned to David Moyes to show his talent again, creating eight chances that have made him a regular for the Black Cats.

Nassr Shazli, who was once signed by Tottenham for Gareth Bale's transfer fee, failed to meet the expectations of north London fans, and after resolutely moving to West Bromwich Albion this summer, he was re-upgraded.

In the last round of the league, he helped the team beat West Ham United, who were seventh last season, 4-2 with two goals and two assists, and as a winger, he also ranked 15th with seven chances created.

Hull City's new captain Bastian Schweinsteiger is the only most famous player on the list, ranking 14th with 18 chances created, just five games and joint top of the Premier League assists chart with three assists and three other players.

If you count it according to the new season, in fact, the former captain of the German team should be ranked first, but unfortunately, this list is this year's competition.

As a leading player in England's 80s, the only club and national team captain and the current top scorer, Wayne Rooney is 13th this year with 34 chances created.

Probably due to efficiency, he created the fewest chances of the 20, with four but was in a higher position, and at 12th, Watford's Argentine winger Roberto Pereira had a huge impact on the Hornets' style of play at the start of his career with the Hornets, and also reduced their reliance on captain Troy Dieney.

Iceland's best midfielder, Gilvi Sigurdsson has created 32 chances this year and is at the heart of each of Swansea's brilliant attacks, so he's ranked 11th.

Everton have never lacked young talent, how many Rooney have they produced for the Three Lions? Ross Barkley is Everton's new talent, and his 29 chances created is a compliment to a young man under the age of 23 who is squeezing into the top 10.

Ever-underrated and inconsistent Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Jason Puchean has found his form in his prime.

A small man with excellent balance and vision, he has created 36 chances this year to place him in ninth place.

Affectionately known as "Ku Bird" by Chinese fans, Coutinho, the core of Liverpool's Brazilian midfield, has speed and creativity, and controls Liverpool's attacking rhythm like a pulse.

International team-mate Neymar has said Coutinho has enough quality to play for Barcelona, and although he is nowhere near that right now, his talent has allowed him to reach that height.

With 31 attacking chances created and eighth in all, Ku Bird will need to lead the Reds to the league title if he can make himself better.

Dusan Tadic, a lesser-known Serbian winger, didn't attract much attention when he arrived in the Premier League, Southampton will be happy with the deal because of the bargain, Tadic has 24 assists in more than two years with the Saints, creating 35 chances this year, and he is likely to leave next summer after getting better and better, and being seventh in this list is the best reward for his late bloomer.

If Arsène Wenger, who has always been very accurate, has regrets, it is Denmark international Christian Eriksen who is one of them.

In the summer of 2013, Arsenal legend and ice prince Dennis Bergkamp strongly recommended Eriksen to his mentor, but Arsene Wenger ultimately opted for the more expensive and famous Mesut Ozil.

Looking back now, if Eriksen had been brought down, and when Ozil was out of form and needed to be rotated, or when he was injured, there was a very creative Eriksen, and perhaps, Arsenal would not have lost more trophies due to injuries and bench depth.

Looking at the Dane's answer so far, Eriksen has created 78 chances since the start of 2016, the most in this list, and is sixth in the list.

Now Wenger wants to poach Eriksen, I am afraid it will be much more difficult than Saul Campbell, who was brought in in at the beginning.

West Ham finished an incredible seventh last season, with Dimitri Payet being the biggest contributor.

With 77 chances created just one less than Eriksen's fifth, Payet has not only secured a starting spot for the French national team this year, but has also performed very well in the league, and it can be said that this year has been a year of success for the French winger.

Riyad Mahrez was unknown until last season, and it was only after Leicester City's miracle to win the Premier League title last season that it was discovered that the Foxes' playmaker was worthy of his name when he won last season's PFA Player of the Season.

With 40 chances created this year, in order to retain the core, the Foxes kept him with a lucrative new contract and the team's future blueprint, although he failed to enter the top three of the list, but Mahrez has undoubtedly become one of the Premier League's leading midfield masters.

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zinedine Zidane has always wanted to bring Eden Hazard to the Bernabeu and in his mind, the Belgian midfielder is the ideal successor, and his performances in 2014 speak for themselves.

Thirty-one chances created is a modest number but still puts him in the top three, and the Belgian captain, who is back in form this season, will be looking to prove that he is no match star.

Of the 20 players on the list, only three have created more than 70 chances, and Ozil, the core of Arsenal's midfield, is one of them.

No one in the world has created as many chances as Mesut Ozil, who came close to breaking the Premier League assist record last season, but the striker in front of him forgot how to score.

Feeding bread again and again is spit out by teammates, and when Ozil's bread is wasted, it will be a nightmare for all other teams in the Premier League.

This year, with 72 chances, he is in second place.

It is unclear who invented the term as the No. 8 Libre is a central midfielder, but Kevin De Bruyne, who was brought in by Manchester City at a high price, has grown into a superstar since Pep Guardiola took over the Etihad.

As David Silva gets older and moves back to play in the central midfield, City are not worried about their lack of creativity and attacking power, as there is a younger and more promising "Tintin".

With 44 chance-creating abilities, he is now top of the Premier League and perhaps soon the Belgian talent will be in the top three in the world.

It is said that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and a generation of newcomers beats the old, when we are still envious of the youth of the post-90s, in the early morning of September 22 in the French Ligue 1, Metz's 16-year-old Vincent Thiel came off the bench in the 82nd minute.

This is a milestone in the history of football, because he is the first post-00 player to appear in the five major leagues, which may not be a climate, but the more youthful atmosphere makes people feel that time is a pig-killing knife.

A native of Luxembourg, Thiel played as a midfielder, was selected for the Luxembourg Under-17 youth team, and also made his senior debut in this year's match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, and also became Europe's first post-00 international.

Perhaps in the near future, there will be more and more post-00s talents on the green field.
