Keeper was a step or two too much to his right, a more experienced player gets a strong glove on it. Cracking shot though.

Watched the reply when I got back and just before the strike he looks back at where the goal is and moves slightly to his right, which cost him
I accidentally went to the Albert for post match refreshments. Happy but fragile is this mornings mood.
Saw this on the BBC Sport app…
“Did you know? Brighton have picked up 18 points in the Premier League in 2023 so far (P9 W5 D3 L1) – only Manchester City (25) and Arsenal (23) have won more this calendar year.”
And then I think of those remarkably dropped points against Palace and Fulham.
What a season this is.

Just imagine how it would have kicked off if Caicedo had been sent off just after Doucoure got away with it!
(I think RDZ was reminding the ref of his leniency when he got booked)

Whisper it quietly, but we're improving as the season goes on.
Now let’s think: what is different now to the start of the season?
I disagree. Watching the camera angle behind Solly, looking towards goal, the keeper seemed well placed. If he'd been further to his left, he'd have left the near post undefended. Solly tapped it to his left and then quickly smacked it in the corner - keepers can't defend both sides of the goal against well struck shots into the corner.
The keeper correctly moved to his right a little after Solly knocked the ball to his left. If Solly's going to the left, the keeper can't just ignore it and leave more and more space at the near post.
If Guaita had been in goal and Solly had scored with the same shot, no one would be saying anything, but because it was a 19-year-old's debut, people are jumping to an incorrect conclusion.
All IMO obvs.

I can only do one thing at a time, and even that's sometimes too much for me. Asking me to think what might be the cause of trends in the data is a step too far.
All I can do is report the stats. And the stats, they are improving.

All Solly could do was beat the keeper in front of him……. Which he did.

I know the feeling. I remember an old fellah saying that his wife had asked him to come up stairs and make love - to which he replied that he can only do one of those.
Looks like you got away with that one
