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.
It was Laporte. They even had a smile at each other whilst lining up for the corner.

I must have seen a different game , we never had them rattled and City could easily have got another 1 near the end

Haven't seen the VAR incident yet.
How bad was it?

I am glad we gave it a go. Well done to the players and thank you for the Wembley experience.
I agree, our second half performance was very encouraging but yes ' the better team won '

Yes I agree. There were some moments in the second half when we pressed them higher up the pitch and they started hitting aimless long balls ... but then we retreated back in our half and time elapsed very quickly. We weren’t brave today albeit we were solid

Fair play it takes Murray much longer to recover

Had a couple of City fans following me and my friends as we made our way down from the stadium...they genuinely believed that Knocky didn't deserve it. Clueless morons.
Very proud of the team today. Only the one chance where we could/should have scored (props to Laporte for his defending) but we did very very well. No-one embarrassed themselves out there.
Also: Anyone spot the trouble outside shortly afterwards? Walked past it but didn't know if it escalated from handbags, even with a load of the rozzers rushing towards it.

Well I for one had a great day out. My ticket never arrived but thanks to Mark and Kath who gave me one of theirs I was able to go.
Thought it was an excellent performance against arguably one of the best teams in Europe. I did fear a mauling after the early goal but was impressed how we gave it a go and even managed a shot on target near the end. Not sure about the red/yellow card debate and will need to see it again on TV but I thought we matched them pretty well. If we can find that elusive attacking midfielder and a decent striker for next season I do feel we can improve. Tactics will need to change to be more offensive but I wasn't expecting us to do this today as we'd probably been torn apart.
Feeling proud of the lads tonight and proud of 2 fans who came to my rescue regarding the ticket issue. Roll on Saturday and 3points vs Bournemouth.

And how many shots did we have or saves did Ederson make in that period
Were you looking in a mirror

Cheated Swansea due to no VAR in the quarter final, VAR cheated us in the semi final, top 6 clubs will clearly always get the decisions even with VAR

Yeah
worse than Duffy's against Palace.
Ali clearly isn't a diving muppet looking to get players sent off.
