Agreed. Looks like he wants to get forward.

No, he was not trying to make it spectacular. It was a knuckler and he fucked up.
Kudus is doing what many people on here has been crying out loud for, he is dribbling and can take on a man.
If you want end products though, play Johnson
Some of the criticisms I read for the first half are massively unjustified.
Vicario should do better, but that's a crazy knuckleball that has come straight from a horrendous piece of play from Bergvall.
A good lesson in how reactions here are a product of the going narratives around players.

Udogie high up the pitch, Bentancur in no mans land to cover for him, CB exposed in an impossible decision to play offside or try to start recovering.
Ange ball goal conceded 1000000%
I think we've managed to have some moments and put in some good combinations at times, especially down the left with Udogie as a 3rd man run, but tbh this is another "50/50 game" where like against Bournemouth where there are big areas for improvement.
I think in general, the opposition is managing to construct possession patterns and how they're looking to attack us better than vice versa. The two centre midfielders look a bit ploddy when they do start moving the ball about and can't quite get there, and the two centre backs need to calm down at times and try to act in relation to each other.
With the ball it's still very much shuffle it about, hit a channel runner or in behind, hit a hopeful cross, and some opportunistic pressing/transition well on the counter. Effort is there, needs more quality - both individually and tactically.

Odobert can’t lose the ball there, it’s shame, but all his fault.
A draw would be a ok result no use comparing us to the top two we are well off their level at the moment ,still a lot of work to do with the squad .
People were saying bergval was crap first few games. They moan that our players dont progress and then moan when they're given starts.
Frank walks what he talks.
Said we'd be more attacking.
Wastes no time and goes balls out here, today.
Wave after wave.
Give this guy time to get the squad right and up to scratch, quality wise, and we'll be a real force.
Tactical, flexible, methodical, brave.
Got the full package.,
Just needs the right mix of players.

I think you can add a couple more to that list. Udogie has been the bright spot.
thought both were good. Odobert makes intelligent passes and moves into good spaces.
Good call, taking off one of the better players.
Fuck knows what the three minutes VAR check on our goal was all about .
They must have looked at absolutely every shot and tackle for five minutes before to see if there was anything they could disallow it for.
Yet when we get a decent shout for a pen, the check is over in seconds.... literally seconds.

Its a stronger squad than last year but work to do ,as you've said
Surprisingly enough, even after two nil, Brighton have been doing nothing to keep things tight. Very free flowing game with lots of end-to-end stuff.
Udogie is leaving so much space behind him despite playing fine in general, not sure whether by design or by his own initiative has he been pushing forward this much.
Frank will probably have to take one of Bentancur/Palhinha out for Simons, dropping Bergvall slightly deeper instead. Risky enough, but could pay dividends.

Odobert as the last man back was definitely an Ange flashback
