Hull City manager Steve Bruce has admitted that his players have struggled to maintain focus in the Premier League ahead of their FA Cup final clash against Arsenal.
The Tigers suffered a 2-0 loss at home to Everton on Saturday afternoon to ensure that their league campaign ended with three straight defeats.
"It looks as if we've been enjoying the FA Cup for too long in my opinion and it's been difficult since we won the semi-final at Wembley to keep everyone's attention on the Premier League," Bruce told Sky Sports News.
"If we're honest we've been safe for weeks and we've never been in real relegation trouble, but it has been very difficult for the last month or so because everyone has been talking about the FA Cup.
"My biggest disappointment is the way we've finished. We've limped along and some of the performances have not been us."
Hull will face Arsenal at Wembley Stadium next Saturday in the showpiece final.
