Andy Robertson says Hull need to ‘dig deep’ after disappointing Sunderland loss


Andy Robertson admits too few Hull players “showed up” in the unacceptable defeat to relegated Sunderland.
The Tigers’ remarkable resurgence under Marco Silva came to a shuddering halt on Saturday, when David Moyes’ Championship-bound side condemned them to their first home defeat of 2017.
Anxiety-wracked City succumbed to second-half goals from Billy Jones and Jermain Defoe, with the 2-0 loss compounded by relegation rivals Swansea winning against Everton.
Hull fell into the drop zone as a result and now have just two matches to claw themselves clear.
“It was one of those days,” left-back Robertson said of the Sunderland defeat. “We knew what was at stake today and you know for the first 60 we’ve probably dominated them without really creating clear-cut chances and that’s we needed to.
“Their goalkeeper has pulled off two unbelievable saves, to be fair, but you can’t let a team that has just been relegated come and beat you 2-0. I don’t care what anyone says.
“Probably not enough of us showed up today.”
Robertson revealed Silva had highlighted in the build-up the home loss to Burnley at the same stage of the 2014-15 season – a campaign that ended in relegation.
History repeated itself in terms of the result and Hull’s survival hopes now look bleak.

“The whole season people have written us off, from day one going into the Leicester game,” Robertson, speaking before the Swansea match, told Tigers TV. “We managed to prove people wrong that day and hopefully at the end of the season we can prove people wrong.
“But I’ve no doubt people will be doubting us again because that’s what they do and they put us down. But this squad of boys, the core is special and we need to dig deep now.”
Hull have a trip to Crystal Palace and home match with Tottenham remaining, whereas Swansea end the campaign at home to West Brom after travelling to Sunderland.
