He really nailed it last night. Seen multiple observations so won’t claim as my own, but Trippier barely got forward from what I can remember, Botman seemed to be pressing higher than normal, I remember seeing him in central midfield at one point, and 2nd half especially we were very keen to let the young CB have the ball, Wilson barely left Dunk alone. 
 

Really impressive but also to the players for successfully doing it.

Aye.

 

The press was perfect for most of the match. WE sat back when we needed too. CBs aggressive a lot.

Our high press is a thing of beauty and must be a nightmare to play against. Would be interested to see our running distances after that game. 
 

I appreciate Brighton have their ‘philosophy’ to play out from the back, but they looked very one dimensional at times and probably should have mixed up their style. 

 

I was highly amused at one point when passing out was continually failing quite early on and their idea of switching it up was simply Steele passing to his defender on the left instead of the right, and it still failing. :lol:

 

Does Steele normally come out as far as he was in the second half when we stopped pressing? As someone that doesn't watch much of non-NUFC games it almost felt like we'd caused a glitch, he was so shocked by the lack of pressure that he didn't know when to stop coming forward with the ball before releasing it.

Incredible coaching job last night Howe and the staff.

 

They must've thought they'd struck gold when they saw Brighton's starting 11 mind.

 

Pre-game, I'd have taken a point tbh right up until seeing their team. That was the point at which it was clear they were there for the taking.

How can one forget Arsenal's invincibles, when there's always an Arsenal fan to keep going on about them

So they should, it’s a massive feat going a whole season unbeaten,I would be shouting from the rooftops for decades if we did something like that

I love the way Eddie never tries to take any credit for himself 

Remember when the carbuncle took full credit (no other cunt in the photo) for MOtM award. “Yes it was all my hard work & genius!” ???

Still astonished that the job he's done doesn't attract more praise in the press.  I get it - sportswashing etc.  But it is truly astonishing.  It was a miracle we stayed up when he took over.  To then follow that up the next season with a cup final and potentially a top 4 place is staggering.

I don’t want to be that guy, but this has been especially noticeable on the Totally Football podcast. Whenever our game gets coverage it tends to centre on the failings of the opposition, and there was some posh public school cunt on the other day (they must have a conveyer belt churning out these people that waste daddy’s money and their privileged education on writing and talking about a game) who made two unprompted digs at Howe, talking about finding it amusing when arsenal cheated their way to a win the other week. 
 

Now, the house style of the podcast is to be somewhat sardonic but I am not imagining that we are the only team that gets their journalists explicitly saying that they want us to lose games. Something about Millwall smashing Blackburn’s coaches? Better mention the rest of their fans who are great. Man Utd fans campaigning for a ‘full sale’? Somewhat understandable. Racism, financial cheating, managers screaming into the faces of fourth officials, all of these topics get a measure of balance and nuance. Newcastle’s gamesmanship? Objectively bad. 
 

The only time Man City’s ownership is mentioned is either alongside ours, or ours are added to the conversation in a general lament for a game that had been going just fine until October 2021. And besides which they never really delve into the ownership too deeply because only one party in the equation actually takes money from sportswashing and it’s not the fans who are paying to watch games.

 

We do occasionally get Natalie Gedra saying nice things about our Brazilian players, with her lovely voice and face, but there has otherwise been pretty much zero credit to either our manager or any of our players. Entire game weekends, with us winning by three, four or five, go by with barely a mention. Brentford gifted us, Fulham were down to ten and what on earth were Spurs thinking? 
 

It’s all good, though. It was a similar story when we went down in 2009- when the nation’s hatred for us felt at times bizarre and at other times rooted in a very specific geographical agenda. So now we know what it’s like to be shit and hated and mint and hated. And I know which one I prefer.

True leader. Always credits the people working under him, and never makes it about himself.

BBC reporter after asking questions about Champions League (and Eddie refusing to bite twice).

 

"How close do you need to be Eddie before we get you to talk about it (CL)?"

 

"When it's done, then I'll talk about it for fun".

 

What a lad.
