[Albion] Drawing with Man City

[Jeremiah]

I'm delighted with the point but the glaring Baleba miss means it was a win not taken - therefore 2 points dropped

 

[Blues Guitarist]

I predicted 2-2, so it’s a point gained












for me

I just don’t understand how people get through life with such negativity. People saying a draw v Man City when we were behind twice is two points dropped. Makes you wonder why they even bother watching football.

Simply because we should/could have won, no matter the opponent.

 

[Gazwag]

Should have won and done the Manchester double double, but took two points away from our rivals. Who wouldn't have taken 10 points from Manchester to be fair.

A bit disappointed not to have 3 points to bring home.

 

[portslade seagull]

A great point for little old Brighton

 

[Morvangull]

A point gained as we were twice a goal behind with no point at all but came back to gain the point.

Ridiculous statement!

It's anything but negativity to believe we can go to any ground in the country and come away with 3pts, and more specifically that we deserved all three points from that game.

That is neither negativity or a criticism of today's performance in the slightest. Even the manager and players are disappointed with not getting 3 pts today, but still proud of their performance.

 

[Taybha]

Let's not kid ourselves we've just played Man City at their best but they're still a very good team,I thought we were the better team on the day and even though we probably should have won I'm so pleased with the performance,it may well be that extra point today that makes the difference come May,well played lads .

 

[Madafwo]

Unless I'm mistaken it takes us level on the Europe tracker, so it is a point gained, we came from behind twice, so a point gained. They're the reigning champions, we've never taken a point off of City at their place since we've been promoted to the PL, so a point gained.

Feel dissapointed it wasn't all 3 as I think it was doable. Voted 2 dropped.

I didn’t say people couldn’t be disappointed we didn’t win. I think calling it two points dropped given how the game actually played out is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Reddleman]

Simply because we should/could have won, no matter the opponent.

Fine but in no way can that be described as two points dropped. We literally never had three points at any point.

That's a strange 'take', as that would apply to many matches.
The point being, we had more chances to win it than they did, despite coming from behind twice.
2 Points dropped.

Ok, I now see exactly what your crucial point is.

It's a mathematical one. How can you possibly drop points when you've come back from behind twice?

That's fair enough, and strictly speaking true.

However, it's still 2 pts dropped

2 Points dropped.

We were away from home, we came from behind twice and they also missed huge chances. That’s the very definition of a point gained.

 

[birthofanorange]

That’s just nonsense. We were away from home, we came from behind twice and they also missed huge chances. That’s the very definition of a point gained.

At 2 -2 we had the better chances, therefore two points dropped. (And being 'away' is irrelevant)

 

[Super Sub]

A point gained for me with just the slightest tinge of “what if”

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Our record at the Etihad
3-1
2-0
1-0
4-0
1-0
3-0
3-1
2-1

so scoring 2, getting a draw and taking 4 points off of the league champions is good, in my book.

 

[Questions]

I hate these threads, as both are true and false at the same time.

But given the opposition, away from home - it is definitely a point gained.

Baleba & Minteh really should have scored their sitters,. so in that respect it is two points dropped.

Can't decide this ridiculous poll, so I've spoiled my vote.

I drew a penis on mine.

 

[highflyer]

This.
We had 2 big chances to win the game.

And one even bigger one to lose it

 

[Boroseagull]

A foot in each camp for me - would've, could've and should've, but a point at the Etihad is good.
