[Albion] Man City AWAY - 15.03.25 - Would you take a draw now?

[Mellotron]

In 7 Prem games at the Etihad, we've never won even a single point;

23/24 L 2-1
22/23 L 3-1
21/22 L 3-0
20/21 L 1-0
19/20 L 4-0
18/19 L 2-0
17/18 L 3-1

So, with it being the last game before a two week breather...would you?

 

[Titanic]

Obvs.

 

[CHAPPERS]

No. Mitoma vs Rice Lewis. Reckon we can do something.

 

[Brovion]

Whilst I no longer see this as the 'free hit' it obviously used to be of course I'll take a draw.

 

[dwayne]

Man city have had a week off. They've been pretty decent at home recently and I think we will lose. But screw it , let's roll the dice.

 

[Official Old Man]

Ask me at half time.

 

[Mellotron]

Ask me at half time.

I better set a reminder on my phone to.

 

[Han Solo]

No. 3 points would mean a lot for us. 1 or 0 not so much.

 

[Trevor]

voted yes, obviously if we do get a draw I'll have some reasoning that we could have won

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Win at home, draw away and end the season on 66 points. Should get Europe with that.

 

[Luke93]

No. 3 points would mean a lot for us. 1 or 0 not so much.

Disagree! A point is still a fantastic result. One of the hardest games left of our season, and prevents a rival gaining +3 in the race for 4(5)th.

That said, don’t want to see Brighton start playing for the draw from kickoff. But also don’t want the mentality we had at Forest. I’m a picky fan!

 

[Mellotron]

I think the proximity to the international break is making me feel more cautious. If we end on a draw, to me that feels like keeping the momentum going.

Going for a win and risking a higher chance of losing would then feel it had put a full stop on that positive momentum. Perhaps. Dunno.

 

[Simster]

If this game was played 10 times I reckon we could get 11 or 12 points as opposed to 8 or 9.

So a draw would be a decent return and I'd be happy enough with it, but I wouldn't shake on it right now - if you see what I mean.

Yeah I didn't mean it like that... what I was trying to say is that the difference between zero and one points isn't enough to sacrifice the chance of getting 3.

 

[studio150]

Go for the win but accept a draw to keep the points ticking over.

Is this the definition of on the fence.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

I answered the question in the spirit of will I be dissapointed if we don't win and "only" get a draw. I will be happy with the point.

Others seem to be answering in the spirit of should we play for a draw or go for the win. Which is a more interesting question.

I imagine we will go with the low block rather than the high press. So less risky but possibly the better strategy given the opposition.

 

[Hotchilidog]

I very much enjoyed the language used for the two options.

Obviously it is No you cretin we are a winning machine

 

[el punal]

It’s about time we got a result up there, and we’re getting closer. Last time around we only lost 2-1! I think for the first time in our Premier League stay we actually might have a chance.

 

[Professor Plum]

In 7 Prem games at the Etihad, we've never won even a single point;

23/24 L 2-1
22/23 L 3-1
21/22 L 3-0
20/21 L 1-0
19/20 L 4-0
18/19 L 2-0
17/18 L 3-1

So, with it being the last game before a two week breather...would you?

Past results are completely irrelevant. Different teams, coaches, tactics, form.

It would be mad not to accept a draw as City are above us in the table but nothing to do with what happened in previous seasons.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

All week I've been hoping the FA don't come out with the verdict on the 115 charges before tomorrow.

We don't want to face an ANGRY Man City.
