the Tigers held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge<\/a>.<\/p>\nHerrington played a little more than half an hour as Hull maintained their unbeaten record.<\/p>\n
He was composed with 100% passing accuracy in his own half and even had the chance to head home a winner from a corner in stoppage time, but nodded it wide.<\/p>\n
It was not the only chance Hull – who had not conceded a goal before their visit to west London – had to win the match.<\/p>\n
They led 2-1 early in the second half when striker Oli McBurnie missed a golden chance to double their advantage as Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez scrambled to save a rebound.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can be proud of this result. It shows we can compete at this level. It shows how far we\u2019ve come that we can arguably be disappointed,\u201d McBurnie said post-match.<\/p>\n
Now, Herrington is in the frame to make his first Premier League start for the Tigers as they travel to Newcastle on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Brisbane Roar product replaced Nobel Mendy as a concussion substitute at Chelsea with the centre back ruled out of the trip to St James\u2019 Park after being taken to hospital.<\/p>\n
Herrington has come off the bench to replace a member of Hull\u2019s back three in all four matches so far this season, while he started EFL Cup matches against Stoke and Sunderland.<\/p>\n
He is surely poised for a call-up to the starting XI and in an interview with Hull\u2019s website former Tiger and Socceroo Richard Garcia – whose brain Herrington picked about a move to Hull along with Socceroos teammate and another ex-Tiger in Jackson Irvine – said why his former Young Socceroos protege is ready to make the step up to starter.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has showed he is full of confidence at the moment,\u201d Garcia told Hull\u2019s website. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think getting a move to a Premier League club is a big confidence booster, but off the back of a World Cup, like I said, it has been a pretty quick rise for such a young man, and the fact that he\u2019s taken it in his stride and he\u2019s growing in confidence is a fantastic sign.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m hoping that he has a really great season this year with Hull City and I\u2019m sure the club will do well when he plays, and he\u2019ll be a great member of the squad as well. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s one thing that I think he really will have is that he\u2019s always ambitious and he\u2019s always wanting the squad to do well and wanting the team to do well, so he\u2019ll be good whether he\u2019s in the starting line-up or coming off the bench. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll do well for the club, and I think he\u2019s going to be someone that is more likely than not going to be playing more and more often.\u201d<\/p>\n
EPL Wrap: GK heroics save Arsenal | 04:13<\/p>\n
\u2018ABSOLUTELY DIABOLICAL\u2019 SPURS\u2019 WOES DEEPEN<\/p>\n
Four games, zero goals.<\/p>\n
Spurs fans arrived at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday with a clear message for their team: \u2018please score a goal\u2019 a homemade sign read.<\/p>\n
And they did not come good on that wish as Everton and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford kept yet another clean sheet.<\/p>\n
It was the first ever scoreless draw at Tottenham\u2019s $1 billion new stadium and supporters were yearning for this time three years ago when they were \u2018loving big Ange instead\u2019 and drowning in goal as Angeball made its remarkable introduction to the Premier League.<\/p>\n
In one season and four games since Ange Postecoglou was sacked after winning the Europa League, current boss Roberto De Zerbi is the third manager to take charge of Tottenham.<\/p>\n
He saved them from the embarrassment of relegation late last season, but after spending more than \u00a3300 million (AUD$565m) in the transfer market, has found starting a new campaign to be more challenging.<\/p>\n
Tottenham sit in the all too familiar position of 17th on the table.<\/p>\n
Newly promoted Coventry, who sit bottom with four losses, are the only other side yet to score a goal this season.<\/p>\n
The wolves are yet to come for the former Brighton boss, but they will certainly begin to close in if the dry streak continues this week when they travel to Anfield for the third round of the EFL Cup before hosting Aston Villa under the spotlight of the early Saturday kick off.<\/p>\n
Former Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes De Zerbi must come up with some answers quickly or the vicious cycle of Spurs sacking manager will click into gear soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter spending \u00a3300m, I didn\u2019t think there would be a problem scoring goals. But to not score in six hours of football is absolutely diabolical,\u201d he told Sky Sports post-match.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the first 20 minutes, I thought that this is what I want to see. There was a moment when Fernandes had a shot and the whole crowd celebrated. It\u2019s not great. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe connection with the fans and the players is not there. I don\u2019t know when they are going to get their first win. It might go on for longer, but I do still see some positives. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt cannot stay this way with what is at their disposal. There are things that I don\u2019t like. Robertson was your left-back and your wide left player because Marmoush wanted to come inside. That balance didn\u2019t really work, so you are lopsided with what you\u2019re trying to do. <\/p>\n
\u201cTrying to get the best squad is what De Zerbi has to solve. The midfield balance also isn\u2019t right. You\u2019ve got to find a way of getting a Kudus into the ten, or Maddison if he gets fit. I\u2019m not sure how Kulusevski\u2019s going to be but when he\u2019s fit you\u2019ve got to get him in. <\/p>\n
\u201cEven I\u2019m looking and thinking \u2018how would I change it?\u2019 There are more questions than answers. He tried everything today. He couldn\u2019t find it. The quality wasn\u2019t there, but they have got quality players.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018TIRED\u2019 LIVERPOOL\u2019S DROUGHT CONTINUES<\/p>\n
Things are going much better at Anfield than they are at Tottenham, but they are not going swimmingly under new manager Andoni Iraola.<\/p>\n
Liverpool are unbeaten in all competitions this season, but in the Premier League they boast just one win – at newly promoted Ipswich Town.<\/p>\n
The Reds have drawn at home to Nottingham Forest and Fulham, the latter in a goalless stalemate on the weekend, that have left the Anfield faithful uninspired.<\/p>\n
They were buoyed by an impressive home victory midweek against Atletico Madrid to start their Champions League campaign in fine style.<\/p>\n
A shell of that inspired team was on show against the Cottagers, who picked up their first point of the season, less than 72 hours later, however.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur players were tired. I think there is a lack of freshness, definitely. We cannot hide it,\u201d Iraola said post-match.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s the worst turnaround in terms of 60-something hours between the games, after a very big game (against Atletico Madrid) the other day. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut this is going to happen more times, maybe with one more day, maybe. But sometimes it\u2019s going to happen the same way during the season. We have to adapt to these circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n
Based off those comments, Liverpool will be hanging out for the international break.<\/p>\n
But first they must host Tottenham in the EFL Cup before travelling down south for Iraola\u2019s return to Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
Even though the upcoming international break will offer some respite, with 34 league games, seven Champions League league phases matches plus however many other games based on how they fare in Europe and the domestic cups, a tight schedule is not a problem that will go away.<\/p>\n
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker believes he and is teammates must simply suck it up and fix their \u201cmentality\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, it\u2019s a big challenge to play Wednesday night and Saturday evening, and you have another game Tuesday,\u201d Alisson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we need to get the right mentality to do that and I think it wasn\u2019t the case. We have to improve for the next one.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the challenge (for) every big team who are playing in all competitions. If we want to do something special this season we have to cope with that.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s what we want but you need to have the right mindset. I think it wasn\u2019t the case from what we showed this afternoon.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeep inside we have it, we just need to put it out. The quality we have \u2013 we have so many top players \u2013 but we need to take and put more energy on the pitch for the next games.\u201d<\/p>\n
CITY GET BANG FOR THEIR BUCK AS GUNNERS\u2019 STAR SIGNING PROVES WORTH<\/p>\n
City are enjoying an immediate return on their \u00a3460 million ($623 million) splurge on new signings with a performance and result at Old Trafford that blow away fears of an immediate fall from grace in the post-Pep Guardiola era.<\/p>\n
United reinforced their midfield in the transfer window with a trio of new faces but were unable to compete with City\u2019s financial might in the battle for Elliot Anderson.<\/p>\n
The England international\u2019s \u00a3116 million move from Nottingham Forest was eclipsed by Enzo Fernandez\u2019s \u00a3125 million arrival at the Etihad Stadium from Chelsea.<\/p>\n
City got what they paid for as the big-money pairing dominated the midfield despite being a man light due to Foden\u2019s dismissal.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, <\/p>\n
Arsenal\u2019s biggest signing of the transfer window has been made to wait for his chance to shine as Arteta kept faith with the stars that guided the Gunners to a first league title for 22 years.<\/p>\n
On his return to England\u2019s north-east after four years at Newcastle, Bruno Guimaraes was met with a frosty reception from Sunderland fans.<\/p>\n
The Brazil midfielder is still to start for the English champions but made a telling impact after Arteta turned to him at half-time.<\/p>\n
Just two minutes after David Raya saved Enzo Le Fee\u2019s penalty to deny Sunderland the opener, Guimaraes rocketed a shot into the top corner for his first Arsenal goal.<\/p>\n
Guimaraes also played in Bukayo Saka for the move that led to Arsenal\u2019s second. The England winger converted from the penalty spot after he had been up-ended by Reinildo.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe personality that he has. He comes in and this is a special game for him as well, what it means for him, and how he grabs the game,\u201d said Arteta.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe decisions that he\u2019s made and the two actions. The goal is incredible and the assist as well to Bukayo to put him through in front of goal, it\u2019s unbelievable as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal and Manchester City already look set for another duel for the Premier League title after overcoming adversity…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":891452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-891451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=891451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/891452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=891451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=891451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=891451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
