Sergej criticised us at half-time

CITY STAR REVEALS MESSAGE

- By BARRY COOPER

AMIR Hadziahmetovic admits Sergej Jakirovic made his feelings clear at halftime of Hull City’s low-key goalless draw with Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup.

City prevailed on penalties after Dillon Phillips twice saved Rovers’ kicks before David Akintola slotted in the winner to give the Tigers a 4-3 win, after a desperately poor stalemate.

The Tigers, who had named a strong team against a much-changed Rovers side, laboured throughout but were especially poor in the first half, and during the interval, Jakirovic vented his frustration and demanded more from his side.
