Fantastic point. Clinical today when we had chances. But the ref and the rest of his team have absolutely ballsed it up.

2-2. Had a player sent off for an absolutely ridiculous reason as the ref said originally our player got the ball and then after the Brighton bench ran on the pitch changed his mind and sent Morgan Gibbs white off. We then had the chance to win it at the end and missed a one on one with the keeper. Should have won. Although Brighton were much better than us throughout the game. I am so mad about the ref though. It was an utter joke. Also the coverage was non existent as soon as the game finished then didn’t even analyze it and went straight to Manchester Citeh and the Arse.
Chicago: Steaming.

I knew that there would be hardly any attention either side of the game and during the half when they needed 5 people in Manchester to introduce our game and sent no team to Brighton

Good result for us and referee controversy (decision correct but he made himself look incompetent in the process), however I think this is all hiding what was a disappointing performance overall. Would have been delighted last season but our standards are higher now prefer us not to look second best.

Great point against a very strong team.
Buzzing to see the two new attacking players like up for the goal as we need more goals.
I'm not going to over analyse it as we are in a strong position.
Hopefully Anderson and Moreno are ok.
Sels has to do better.

If you had offered me a draw at the start of the game I would have taken it. If you had offered me a draw at half time I would have taken it. If you offered me a draw after 85 minutes I would have taken it.
So in conclusion, I'm happy with a draw...
We got just 2 points from these games last season(if you swap out Luton with southampton) so other than wolves result we've improved in every other game. Not too bad.

1 point by itself doesn't seem that much but over a season they add up, not to mention for the team spirit getting the result and the resilience shown. And importantly it's 2 less points for our opposition, and if we're aiming to get in the top half, we need to be taking points off these sides. So yes, its a decent days work.
