[Albion] Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Oh_aye]

Happy with that. Good game and good performance. I suppose we may have won it, but they would possibly say the same with their header.

Some serious points taken from some good teams recently and the unbeaten run goes on.

Shows how well we are doing that if I'm being slightly picky, I'm a tad disappointed that we didn't nick a win at the etihad!

 

[Bodian]

I'll take that. Thought they'd won it with that header that hit the post - then we could have won it twice after that. Good battling game.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Very decent point.

Coulda/shoulda been a win but a point way to city after twice being behind is a god point. Keeps the unbeaten run and momentum going.

If Liverpool win tomorrow, five wins from the last nine games should get us Europe...

 

[ChickenDipper]

What a game - so proud of them and we’ll take that all day long. Probably edged it but certainly went there and took the game to them and shocked them. Ballsy, gutsy - superb from all of them.

Fought all match, disappointed that both their goals game from us giving away possession unnecessarily, and Baleba should have won that, but a point at the Etihad is a good result and the lads can be proud.

 

[albionalba]

Easy to feel disappointed but such a solid performance bodes well for us. Yes you can talk about the maybes, but overall better to celebrate a point won deservedly by the whole team.

 

[Skaville]

Great point, but deserved all three. Poor finishing and bad decision making cost us.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

A handful of chances were squandered. In my view we've dropped two points today.

 

[seagull_special]

What a great result, two teams who really wanted to win, a tad more composure and we could have had three but that was an outstanding team performance. Van Hecke is a truly outstanding defender. Verbruggen was brilliant and Estupinan was back to his best. Gomez! Oh my days, he is going to be top draw.

Not bad.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Like the Bournemouth game, a really good watch. Two teams having a go.

Minteh's work rate today was phenomenal.

 

[Zeberdi]

Phew!

That was tense.

A good deserved point for us but shame we conceded the pen and missed some tap ins. Some careless individual passing and poor decision making at times but really overall some fantastic attacking football from us as a team and moments of very good defending. Very entertaining.

A classic @Bozza ‘2 points dropped or 1 point gained?’ thread coming up I’m sure

 

[Reddleman]

One of those games where both sets of fans come away a little frustrated they didn’t win it which says a draw is the right outcome. Our first ever point at the Etihad. Well done FH and the team.

Yep, as Pep said they need to win games too for a champions league place finish so all in all a bloody good point.

 

[BBassic]

That'll do nicely.

 

[BrightonLoyal]

To be feeling disappointed after taking a point at City can’t be a bad thing! Great shift lads and a point that could be huge come the end of the season

 

[Normandy seagull]

Very happy with a point- is that our first ever points at the emptyhad? Could have won but thought chiteh were going to nick one to win it when we really ran out of steam. Fab just about got away with freshening it up with subs. Saying that Welbz and Gruda were terrible when they came on. Chiteh weren’t as bad as they have been at times this season. JPvH immense today.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Seems like everyone is on the same page. But what a frustration.

First half we kept trying to play through their press, but it was a really good press, and both goals and several other chances came from it

Second half we stopped that and we were easily the best side, Doku aside who was great.

Minteh through his legs. Baleba should have taken a touch. Jack should have crossed it. Three brilliant chances to win, and admit I feel disappointed.

Read Bluemoon! They think their side is SHIT.

 

[US Seagull]

Despite being under siege for periods of that game, aside from the goals and the post being hit, we really didn't give them much in the way of chances.
