Nice to have a Saturday night where Albion fans aren't sharpening their knives ready to get stuck into about 5 different players they 'support'.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Still don't know how Murray didn't score and I've seen the replays! Incredible defending by Laporte (I think).

I am glad we great it a go. Well done to the players and thank you for the Wembley experience.
No disgrace for us today, great atmosphere from the fans, players gave it a go, concentrate on PL starting with Andone and Izqueirdo.

Amazing day out watching the team give a good account of themselves in front of some very talented footballers.
They did us PROUD!

I would just like to say that our defence was absolutely brilliant today, and Dale was superb as well.
We can attack, as we all know, we have got to stop this 1 up front nonsense for the remaining games and stay up, because as good as we were today we still don't look like scoring, except set peices and the odd flowing attack.

A very long long way.I am so proud of our performance....
Brilliant and a half decent VAR ref would have sent Walker to the bin! Then who knows?
Stay up and it has been another fabulous season.....

Lots of neutrals on Twitter saying Walker should have been off. Pep was obviously worried enough to sub him at half time.
We did ourselves proud today & Murray came so close to an equaliser.

Ernest, do you think City could not be bothered ? Our defence made it look that way, if they could have put 6 past us they would have done, but they did not our defence made sure of that.
Stop making the opposition look as though they are playing with us, yes they had the majority of possession but they did F A with it.

All those talented footballers and it was Knocky who got Man of the Match.

Third gear, Bollocks, we kept them in that gear.

This.
They were rattled, we dominated for large spells of the 2nd half, we made them defend. It was just a shame the first 5 minutes went the way they did. We squared up to them in the 2nd half and showed no fear.
Play like that more often and we'll be fine in the league.
Had we been switched on from the start, we could've got something from today.
Glad we gave it a go second half but we looked resigned in the first 45. Players just need some belief- City aren't that great!

Yes, thinking about it that was a stupid thing to say, it's not really what I meant but it clearly comes over as so.
I retract my statement.

People are talking about City having an important game on Tuesday and they do. We also have an important game on Tuesday against Cardiff. Arguably ours is more important, at least to us.

Hacked off that whenever we broke up an attack we ended up passing backwards due to lack of movement/pace. We have to solve this problem by digging deep into our pockets and ruthless team selection.

Swansea gave them a good game but you don't know how they are going to play, maybe we should have realised earlier that they were not that good again and changed the game plan earlier, but hindsight and all that.
Teams are frightened of the top 6 and defend, maybe they shouldn't, giving them no space and a good kicking is the way to go.
They are good players but are so far up their backsides that they don't like being roughed up and not allowed to play their lovely football.

Apart from the fact it’s the following Tuesday of course.

i can’t help thinking that one answer to our lack of people in the box could be helped by the admittedly old fashioned “get to the byline and cross into the box”. Nobody seems to do this anymore. I miss it.
