Prophetic.

Was that Odegaard making the run to the corner to give Partey all that space? Too good.

That looked almost too easy. Fantastic strike from Partey.

Honestly, great. Maybe not playing at the level he normally reaches, but he’s still way better than anyone else we have had trying to fill his shoes.

And another lack of yellow for a restart being delayed. Yep, we’re definitely playing in the PL.

Probably a precaution against the yellow and the additional fouls that got called on him (even if at least one wasn’t a foul).

We looked in control, but with only a 1-0 lead at the half, I’m definitely not comfortable.

I love that forest player jumping into Saka while ducking his head down, with no contact with Saka’s foot, gets Saka a yellow.

I definitely missed the foul in that tackle.

His vision and passing are the highest quality. It’s so much fun to watch him play.

Saka! I thought he had made a mistake by not passing but that was magnificent.

Seems like half our team is carrying an injury. They all look like they need a 4 week vacation to recover.

Not yet, at least defensively. They’re up for this game. We don’t look it.

They are not getting the ball forward as much, but they seem to be set up for a counter.

Set plays are apparently another area where we aren’t as good as last year.

I loved the response to going down and the result. But until they scored it felt like we were stuck in patterns from the past.

Saka with a monster game. They double-teamed him and he still had such a huge impact.

Hopefully this is the only reminder that we need that you don’t ever take the foot off the gas.

In the end, we found enough quality to get the three points, which is what we needed.

Kai gets one for being in the right place.

Strategy. Keep 'em guessing that he’s going near post, then cut back and fire it far.

Honestly, I think there’s more focus from the defenders to put him wide because the cut back is so dangerous, and he doesn’t cross with his right as much. I don’t expect any goals from that, normally.

The lack of consistency in the yellows for delaying a restart is so frustrating. More bullshit from the refs “we have to call it” and then ignoring the next one.

FFS. Poor defending on a set piece. That’s not like us.
