PREVIEW | ARSENAL (H)

Let's look back at that

Hull City match.

The Carabao Cup, of course, Sunderland won 1-0 in the third round.

Good to get the win with 11 changes, Jim.

Yeah, really, really good.

I think it was one of them where the scoreline in a way kind of belied how dominant we were.

I think we could have quite easily won by a couple more goals than we did.

It was really, really good to see the new lads coming in and all playing well.

Really, really good to see Talby, how well he played in that more central role.

I thought he was our best player, pretty much.

I know it was a cup game and Hull had made a lot of changes too, but They're still a Premier League team and we were comfortably, comfortably better than them.

And in terms of the game itself, like I said, I think we could have had a few more goals.

The interplay was good.

New players seemed to slot in well.

Nice to see Rigg come in and slot in well as well.

09 had a bit of a scary moment at the start of the game with that foul in the box that possibly could have been a penalty if they'd been VAR, but luckily...

There is no VAR in the Carabao Cup at this stage.

Apart from that, he was fine.

Elborg, another clean sheet for him.

People keep writing him off, but he keeps getting clean sheets.

So, you know, all power to him.

And, yeah, no, just really happy with it.

I think it was as comfortable an ease through as you can expect.

And compared to last season's loss at home to Huddersfield, quite nice to actually win it.

mid-week early round of cup game for once because we don't tend to do that very often do we so here's hoping we can kick on in the cup a bit more albeit using the second string because of our other commitments
