A MISSED chance to cash in on the miseries of Liverpool and Spurs gave City boss Mark Hughes a frustrating 46th birthday.

The City boss was handed a point from a tough encounter at Birmingham by keeper Shay Given's penalty save which took the Blues into fourth place in the table.

But Hughes is unhappy that his team has racked up three draws on the bounce, at a time when top four rivals Liverpool, Spurs and Aston Villa have all been dropping points.

"We are looking back at the draws and are frustrated because we feel that opportunities have been missed," he said.

"But no team will roll over and allow you to dictate to them and that certainly wasn't the case with Birmingham.

"We didn't hit the heights but still took something from the game which is a plus.

"We didn't play to anything like the capabilities we know we have as a group but we are going to have days like this when things don't click and you just have to get through it and get something out of the game."

Was Sunday's game a point won or two points lost? Have your say.
