Yes It is acceptable to win that way, but what I am say is that we are creating too little in the way of real opportunities and chances. Does that not concern you...?
Shaqiri header just wide in the first half, Mane blasting a shot in the second half with his left foot after Salah put him through, only to be deflected wide by the defender getting a touch to block it, Salah missing a sitter in the 89th minute. That’s 3 chances straight away that on another day, most likely find the net.
If we go onto win the league, you think we will look back and say we were lucky to win the league because we beat Brighton 1-0 thanks to a penalty, in a game we had full control of from start to finish? Not a chance.
You think City wouldn’t have loved this type of result vs Leicester and Palace? Of course they would because the 3 points is what matters more than anything else. You can’t play perfect every week.
Brighton have scored in every home game his season and have been solid, yet they never looked like scoring against us. This is the type of result teams wanting to win the league manage to grind out.
Winning 1-0 or 10-0 is irrelevant for how the table is, you still only get 3 points.
