If you've been paying attention to the Premier League this season, you've already seen a lot.
You've seen Erling Haaland detonate what is supposed to be the best league in the world. You've seen Mikel Arteta prove the illogic of the managerial merry-go-round. You've seen Liverpool shoot themselves in the foot. You've seen Thomas Tuchel get fired less than two years removed from winning the Champions League. You've seen Manchester United make their first steps, in over a decade, toward establishing any kind of identity.

You've seen Leicester City nearly implode. You've seen AFC Bournemouth lose a game 9-0 and then go six matches undefeated. You've seen the end of the Bruno Lage Era. You've seen plenty of people calling for the end of the Jesse Marsch Era (despite a better-than-average expected-goal differential). You've seen the end of the "Steven Gerrard Will Succeed Jurgen Klopp" fairytale. You've even seen Nottingham Forest sign a small Caribbean nation's entire population worth of players, beat Liverpool and still end up in last place.
One of the few things you haven't seen: Crossing. While the once-widespread practice of getting the ball wide and whipping it into the box for an on-rushing target man has been on the decline for over a decade, the 2022-23 season might truly be the end of crossing as we knew it.
