Is this a bad result for Manchester city? I can't say that. Manchester City are not in good form. Brighton are also a strong team. So I would say it is a good result for Manchester City.
Last week we saw Manchester city lose to nottingham Forest. I can't say that brighton is weaker than Nottingham Forest. Brighton is also a strong team. Even against City , Brighton's players performed well.
Most of the bettors considered Manchester City as the favorite considering Manchester City's home match. And that was their mistake. I would say that Brighton played better in this match than City.
Yes it's a very bad result Pep Guardiola and his men. Brighton I know haven't been performing badly this season but common on, Manchester City were playing at the Etihad in front of their home fans with a star studded team including the most prolific striker in the league in the last three seasons so failing to beat Brighton at home was indeed a bad result for Manchester City.
It's been long I stopped staking my money on them and I'm very happy I took that decision as they've been very inconsistent with their performances this season. Betting on them now is a very risky thing for bettors.
I don't see Manchester City finishing the season in a position higher than 4th so it's a must that Peo Guardiola is going to suffer his worst campaign as a manager
