I think he just means that we have big potential and always fail. Saw some stats that in the last 20 years we were the team closest to qualifying for a major tournament without actually going in. Four lost playoffs and several qualifiers where we missed out by three points or less.
First game in a long while where the team hasnt looked disjointed. Much better back three with Øyvann, Haugan and Ellingsen than Hagelskjær and Bjørnbak.
Løvik keeps taking steps and has a great future ahead.
Kind of cool to see us starting with 11 Norwegians including 4 locals
Häcken were closer over the two games than the score suggests, but at the same time they are doing classic somewhat naive Høgmo stuff and got punished for it a bunch of times.
