In contrast, Arsenal fans weren’t afraid to express their disappointment.
Disappointing this just shows we need to bloody buy quality that what was lacking today,just can’t believe it #frustrating #AFCvHCFC

So now we can’t even score against a Championship side. Why play 2 defensive mids in this game? #afcvhcfc

Pathetic from Arsenal. They should have won this game comfortably regardless of who was in the starting XI #AFCvHCFC

The player that came out with the most to brag about was Hull keeper Eldin Jakupovic and fans on Twitter were quick to sing his praises.
Not the result we wanted, but well played @HullCity. Very well defended and what an awesome goalkeeping performance. #AFCvHCFC

Jakupović for Man of the Match? Does anyone else even come close? #AFCvHCFC

Of course, there was also the regular social media reaction of criticising the referee.
