The results that I have predicted before, you don't need to believe in Man City even though they are playing at home, now it's different. We see the statistics against Brighton, both teams played a draw even though in ball possession Man City was slightly superior but ball possession alone is not enough if not sharp in attack. Man City is currently like a mid-table team that has difficulty breaking into the top 4, on the other hand this result is an opportunity for Chelsea to maintain its current position. I think if Man City continues like this, there is a possibility that its place will be taken over by Brighton and Newcastle.
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.
I won't outrightly blame any gambler who picked Manchester city to win against Brighton yesterday. Let's be realistic here, city have rested very well they haven't played in the champions league again so why can't they win Brighton? Let's not keep saying city not in good form as an excuse, in every of their bad performance this season. Their lost against Nottingham forest that I will understand because Nottingham forest are doing better than them this season, the stastics are all there. City players knew what was at stake in this match against Brighton, yet they let it slip through their hand. For me it was a bad performance. The race for the top 4 is heating up and you have a chance to take 3 points from a two goal lead and you said it was a bad performance. Tell me if city fail to make the champions league this season, don't you think it's a failed season for them? It was a poor poor performance from city.
