Everyone thank @Eabryt for setting this up :D
Just a bit of hindsight after the game: what the fuck did United actually do this window? Like, Onana is an upgrade, but I’m not convinced they’ve actually improved lol. Højlund is unproven at best, and while I think he could be good it’s too early to tell; their midfield has replaced Fred with Mason Mount, and they have Reguilon on loan. Meanwhile Brighton have Ansu Fati, Newcastle have fucking Tonali, and Liverpool finally have an actual midfield.
I agree. I was seeing signing announcements from Man United, but they seemed so over the place. Haag is a solid coach, so he must have a plan. But I’m not seeing it.
Brighton have stepped it up from being a formidable side to being a mildly terrifying one. Fati was a WTF signing for them. But they had other excellent signing this window too. And they managed to keep hold of Ferguson as well. But most of all, like us they seem to have a very clear occurs of where they want to go tactically.
I was hoping the United match would provide some highlights I could replay over and over again to hold me over during the international break. It did not disappoint.
Finally got a chance to watch the mini-game and man Fabio’s pass to Jesus was Chef’s Kiss
Odegaard’s goal from last night is my favorite of the recent seasons I think. Beautiful one.
Seconded - what a strike, although I always have a soft spot for goals like Deccers. Nothing like a hectic deflection.
I do appreciate the extra salt in the wound. The feeling that you lost that game because that defender was a millisecond too slow, and just a bit away from a successful block… Good stuff.
They got exceptionally lucky that both Havertz and Saka blew two nailed-on chances, that last few minutes was just the universe righting itself.
Obviously that was more exciting but without context of the time it was scored or that it was the winner, it’s just a goal off a cleared corner, so it’s just a good strike. I was admiring the buildup and precision to Odegaard’s goal. Martinelli’s assist was a perfectly weighted nutmeg into an ice cold finish. What can I say, I guess I have a type.
