Hull, who hit the crossbar in the second half, are just the third promoted team to keep a clean sheet in each of their first three Premier League games after Charlton Athletic (1998-99) and Huddersfield Town (2017-18) while they are provisionally second in the standings, behind giants Manchester City. “I will sign immediately, if you offered me it,” Hull head coach Sergej Jakirovic said on his side’s points tally ahead of their next game against Chelsea. “It’s great for us because we show we can compete at this level, that we can be dangerous. Maybe we can play some situation better in possession, of course, you need confidence but we are growing here. “Every game we will be better.” On Hull’s defence, Jakirovic added: “I think this system suits us and of course, always it could be better with some transitions and some decisions, but at the end some of the technical mistakes are about fatigue, for example the Oli McBurnie chance. “If you asked me who will have this chance, I would say put Oli, but he’s great for during the game because if you are not compact or solid immediately, you will have chances. “Especially their two chances, we lost the first and second ball and the space behind you, they will use this immediately because they are a good team. They have one point but they are a good team and they need time with the new players.” SUPERCOACH EPL: JOIN THE FOOTBALL360 LEAGUE TODAY AND TAKE ON OUR EXPERTS
