Strictly speaking an opposition player horrendously missing isn't being lucky. The opposition just had a player who wasn't good/consistent enough.
Bad luck is something like a ref's mistake.

Ok…it was lucky the chance didn’t fall to a better Norwich player.

Point gained as we didn't play well. Could of won it but could of so easily lost it too
Unless you have crooked owners/book keepers etc you don't get points taken away.
We could have won 3 points, but didn't play well enough to deserve them
Norwich are bang average and so were we today so on the day a draw is fair, a point each gained.

Ironically we went up a place!
Lost 1 in 8 so far, two clean sheets in a row, 4th the table tonight. Glass comfortably half full, we could easily have lost that game.

That would’ve been a soft, soft penalty
On first view, without the replay I thought he’d get booked. After seeing the replay it’s fair to say there was “contact” but not enough to overturn the onfield decision
Warren Aspinal said that if the ref hadn't given it as a penalty then he should have booked Maupay for simulation but he did neither.
Bang average is a compliment in my opinion. A draw was a fair result but their only chances came from our mistakes. On the day we were bang average too and any sort of decent performance would've seen us winning that at a canter. 2 points dropped

Before the game I would have agreed with you. At the final whistle I was relieved to get a point. We were careless throughout the game with a few players off form. Had that been another team and not Norwich we would have had our arses spanked - one point gained, our arses in one piece and we go fourth my son.
That's a matter of opinion but we literally gave them an open goal.

When your first target as a football club is 40 points it's a away game with a point in the bag, the opposition doesn't really matter before you actually reach that target does it ? Point gained especially now I've seen that point puts us above our main rivals for champions league football next season.

But it wasn't another team! If we'd been playing another team I would probably have another opinion. We were playing a team who are so bad/out of form/confirdence that when we pretty much gifted them open goals they still couldn't score, yet we still didn't beat them!

That’s my point. We were well below par and as such, because it was Norwich, escaped with a draw because they equally were poor. We had an off day and got away with it and, hopefully, lesson learned. Not quite doom and gloom but definitely frustrating. Having said that fortune has smiled on us this season with a last minute winner against Brentford, a last seconds equaliser at Palace and all the key decisions going in our favour when we played Leicester.

“We should be beating #teamslikeNorwich”
Exactly! Norwich were Norwich. They played as well as they can. The draw is a result of our own failings. We failed, so we dropped points.
