Brilliantly imperfect, or perfectly brilliant (1 Viewer)

Because I hate myself I was following along the match thread last night and the dissonance between enjoying an absolutely nuts game versus the existential crises playing out on here was a weird experience. Watching the liverpool game now I think there are a couple of schools of thought in what great modern teams look like and that is why there is simultaneously joy and bed wetting on here being experienced by a single fanbase.

I’m a Klopp kind of guy - I want front-footed, high octane, unpredictable football with moments of sheer unexpected brilliance. I think others want a Guardiolan brand of methodical, almost metronomic football which is about removing as many unknowns as possible en route to reliable and consistent victory.

Some of our play last night was sensational. The combinations, the pace, the just overwhelming pressure we were able to exert in individual passages of play. That’s what I want. And if that means we’re going to ship goals, and occasionally get turned over, but that we’re also going to have more moments like Molineux, like Wembley, and like last night, then I’m all in. I’ll take that over a season full of comfortable 1-0 wins.

All that to say, it’s a great time to be a Cov fan, of course we’re not perfect, but my god we are fun to watch!

Good way of putting it.

It was one of the most entertaining matches through and through that I'd seen in a long while. I'd happily watch us squeek by with 5-4 scoreline every other week. I hope MR ups tempo with more attacking aggression the entire game moving forward, given the new options added to an already dangerous front line. Put other teams under pressure on the back foot and soak up the inevitable counterattacks as best as possible.

For some reason when reading this i remembered Rudoni’s looping scooped pass to Tats that was given offside.
We really were brilliant at times yesterday.
