Hull CityLimited before substitution
Stroud had one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Coventry City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 54th minute.
Analysis: Stroud attempted Hull's first shot of the match but sent his long-range effort wide, finishing his 59 minutes with one shot, one cross and one interception. He was replaced by Liam Millar, whose match-winning performance highlighted the competition Hull have in wide areas. Stroud's ability to work between midfield and attack should keep him involved, though he'll need to produce more consistently in the final third to secure regular minutes.
Signs with Hull City
Stroud signed a four year contract with Hull City after departing Mjallby, the club announced.
Analysis: Stroud featured in all four of Sweden's matches at this summer's World Cup and made 109 appearances during a productive three and a half year spell at Mjallby, scoring 27 goals and adding 14 assists, including a pivotal role in the club's historic Allsvenskan title and Svenska Cupen triumph last season. Capable of playing full back or wide midfield, he brings a rare goal threat from the left flank as well as versatility across multiple positions. Stroud is expected to compete for a starting role at left back or as a wing back, bringing attacking upside to Hull's setup.
Logs start and shot
Stroud logged an off-target shot and an inaccurate cross across 66 minutes during Sweden's 3-0 loss to France on Tuesday.
Analysis: Like the Sweden-Japan game, Sweden's starting XI included Stroud, whose position was left midfielder again. For the World Cup, Stroud's latest shot is his first. Apart from that and said cross, he was quiet, which indicates why Taha Ali replaced the former. During the World Cup, Stroud logged four crosses (two accurate), three corners and two chances created.
Makes first World Cup start
Stroud recorded two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Japan.
Analysis: Stroud made his first World Cup start as Sweden drew 1-1 with Japan. He took two corners as Sweden may be preparing for a round of 32 game as one of the best third-placed teams. He completed a chance for the second game in a row. He also made an interception and clearance for the first time in this tournament.
