I got in late last night and didn't wake up in time for our 7am kickoff. Trust me, if this game had truly mattered, I'd have gotten my ass out of bed. Fortunately I didn't have to.
From the sound of it we stole 3 points from Brighton. I saw the replay of DCL's goal and it was theft of the highest order. And I'd call that a GREAT result! Kinda makes up for some of matches where we dropped points late.
As for the rest of this thread, for once I'm going to stay out of it.

Good anticipation, pace & a never give up attitude from Calvert-Lewin won us the game in the end.
He deserved his goal as he never stops running & pressing up top, and is also very competent defending set-pieces too.
Not sure what the point of the Beto-DCL comparison is?
Different teams/set up/manager.
Goals per minutes is a little too narrow a view to me.
Far more to it than that.
And we are 2 points behind Everton with what some people regard as a top class PL manager in charge.
And Farke might be leaving
I declare my love for Saint Daniel and I can shoehorn him in to any conversation.

To be honest it wasn't like Brighton created much. A couple of swerving shots that Darlow did well to save, but it was just the amount of swerve rather than them cutting us open. Dan James and Piroe were unlucky for us with efforts just wide. So not completely one sided but yeah Brighton looked more likely to win.
Strange that an American doesn't want to wade in to a dispute that doesn't really affect them.......

Did you post them because there's something wrong with your brain
Think we've got a good one tbh. Also seems to 'get' the club and work hard for the club - those defensive clearances of late being very important.
Easy to knock our players but I think they've done fanatastic, even ones who haven't had many minutes, Bornauw, Longstaff etc have played their part in a very good season.

Someone dared to not just follow the MOTforum party line with absolute accuracy.
Not allowed on here and has to be made a drama if independent thought dares arise.
That's all

Thank god we didn't sign Strand-Larsen, I've never rated him.
Newcastle play Fulham, so probably better for us for Newcastle to win. A draw would mean we'd need to win by 4 goals to catch Newcastle, which is unlikely.
