[Albion] Newcastle: one point gained or two points dropped?

Its not irrelevant because dominating like that is very likely to pay off in the future despite not leading to anything today. But yeah, to someone who cant understand a broader perspective than their current emotions I could see that anything except the latest result is completely irrelevant to everything.

No. This is naive actually.
You saw our first half perfomance against Burnley i'm sure. We are now worse at home. Moreover, we never, ever, ever, ever, ever have 72% of possession, and if we do again this season i'll be very surprised. You HAVE to take your chances. Having 72% of possession is a serious chance. To simply arrogantly believe we'll have 72% in all future games is folly.

Although the poll has confirmed my assumption that most would think it's 2 points lost, I was curious about the extent to which people thought this (currently 9 out of every 11). So, still of interest however obvious.
Good thing no one is believing that then!
As we have at the moment for every game in the future as we haven`t won or lost any of them yet.

I think Newcastle look a bottom 5 team so we missed a chance today.
We are back in a Gus phase of good passing football and that’s to be welcomed even though Gus became a dirty word on here.
So it’s about adding goals. Pleased that Murray is no longer Plan A, think Gross will probably be no longer an automatic starter too as we look to inject pace on the team. I’d be happy with a front 3 of Maupay, Trossard and possibly Bissouma.
Was really happy with Mooy today who should be a regular.
All in all a day of more positives than negatives but still plenty to work on - we need wins and goals from somewhere otherwise we will get sucked into a very bad relegation fight. All the promoted teams look strong

It'll be disappointing, but without knowing more details of the match (do we actually threaten their goal with all our possession, or do we continue to be impotent in that final third for example?), it would be a point more than we had before the game and no less than we were on track for at any point during the game, so a point gained. Y'know, if they get two sent off in the first ten minutes, or we get three penalties, I reserve the right to change my mind.

History will show it as an away point gained (win at home, draw away and all that), but here and now?
Two points lost.
Two points lost.

I am loving the new style of football under potter I just feel like its the same old story over the last few games we need to start being more clinical Infront of goal so it's two points dropped just like against Burnley

Two dropped again.
I can't be arsed to check now, but I chose Stoke as for all their time in the Premier League they consistently only just limped over 40 goals scored.
I'm going to guess they once had an outlier season stopping me from writing 'always'.
But I bet their average for goals scored is somewhere between 42 and 46, and that's with a considerably better strike force than we've ever had, and seemingly ever likely to have.
Fingers crossed more performances like yesterday might actually make us more attractive to potential strikers.
Instead of them just using us as a bargaining chip to up their appearance fee for the Royal Oak at Lagness - How embarrassing
All that said it could be worse, we could be:-
Barcelona.
Barcelona.
Thanks
Unbelievably I gave them too much credit.

1 point gained.
Maybe this ball hogging is a French thing, just like Knocky.
'It is a team game' needs to be expressed more.
