The verdict was simple and direct from French sports daily L’Equipe.

Those words referred to the match in general as they beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the UEFA Conference League.

But also to the moment in which Julio Enciso played a massive part in the winning goal.

It would be interesting to know whether the Tony Bloom algorithm agrees.

Because it feels like Liam Rosenior is one of two former Albion full-backs in the Ligue Un technical areas whose efforts will be under observation as Bloom’s inner circle keep a constant eye on head coaches.

To be clear, not because they expect to be making a change soon. But because that is what they do.

The other has recently arrived in the French top tier having previously worked for Bloom – and that is Sebastien Pocognoli, a title-winner in Belgium with Royale Union St Gilloise and now at Monaco.

Rosenior stood out as an articulate and intelligent professional in his time with the Seagulls.

Something of a leader when one thinks of that heartbreaking end to the 2015-16 season.

He was the one player to stop and give interviews amid the mayhem at the Riverside after the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough.

Six nights later, he marched over to the away end after the play-off first-leg defeat at Sheffield Wednesday and gave his now famous “chin up” gesture.

Rosenior had seemingly arrived in the previous summer as a new starting right-back.

Instead, a bit like Niki Maenpaa at the same time, maybe, or Olivier Boscagli now, it seemed his arrival brought the best out of the existing incumbent as Bruno had his best season in the stripes.

Still, Rosenior developed into an important club man and squad member.

He also coached with the under-23s alongside Simon Rusk and Shannon Ruth, working with players including Ben White, Viktor Gyokeres and Robert Sanchez.

Strasbourg’s performance against Palace showed that “chin up” spirit as they came from a goal down and exuded energy, enterprise and youthful innocence.

And they had a bit of luck when Ismaila Sarr and Adam Wharton missed open goals after keeper Mike Penders, on loan from Chelsea, went walkabout.

Valentin Barco, a left-back with brilliant delivery but a bit too daring even for Roberto De Zerbi at Albion, was lively in midfield and Enciso’s driving run and free-kick led to the winning goal.

Both featured in a scintillating move for the equaliser and Barco had some lovely touches in tight midfield areas .

“Their energy, their intensity, their bravery to play out,” Rosenior told TNT Sports as he explained his delight with his team.

“We got lucky with a few but, when you work as hard as my team did today, you earn your luck.

“I love the fact we are so young. We are so fearless.

“At times we are very naive but the only way you get experience is to give experience and I think my players will have learned so much from today’s game.

“I’ve got some outstanding young players. They are a delight to work with and hopefully we keep improving.”

Rosenior rejected the idea his side pulled off “a statement win” but it was one which will have been noticed in the Prem on a great week for French football.

“Which is the Farmers League now?”, asked one reader of L’Equipe’s website as PSG and De Zerbi’s Marseille also beat English clubs.

Why did that respected outlet say they played like a Prem team?

Their report explained: “With intensity, a touch of madness and some wastefulness, but also speed and technical quality in their forward runs. It was in this way that the Alsatians won the free kick that led to their second goal.”

Rosenior is part of the BlueCo family now which will make Chelsea the club to whom he will be most widely linked.

Pocognoli did great things at RUSG but hit a rough patch at Monaco with three straight domestic defeats plus a Champions League draw with Paphos going into a league clash with PSG.

“We’re going to try to stay as close as possible to that podium finish, which is our stated ambition,” he said this week.

So two to watch – and two things to remember.

Firstly, there is no suggestion that Albion need to be aware of potential new coaches. In fact, it feels like Hurzeler, after 50 league games, is just getting started.

In contrast to predecessor De Zerbi who, after 50 Prem matches, had peaked and looked to be on the way to divorce.

Secondly, Bloom will also be constantly monitoring coaches none of us would think of. Not just the obvious ones or ex-Albion players.

But Rosenior’s work is of obvious interest to many – and the French reckon it has Prem hallmarks.
