Far from disgraced, good positive display. Onwards and upwards!

Played well. 17 shots (6 on target) compared to their 8 (2 on target). They were just far more clinical in the final third, as you would expect from the kind of players they have in their team.

Haven't you heard? He's only "ok in the Championship" so must have been the weak link really

I certainly don't think we were outclassed, I didn't think we would win though, but never mind

Sorry if I got that wrong but really far too many 'stupid' fouls conceded too near our goal, and I don't mean tonight especially!

If Locadia gets some serious game time I think we have a winner there.
All in all I see serious improvement as the season has gone on.

I’d take a lucky win and a very rare FAC semi any day.
But it was extremely improbable the moment the draw was made.

That's not true, Locadia had a couple (especially the free header), Izquierdo had a good chance when he came on, and Dunk had a free header in the first half that he should have done better with.

Perhaps Southgate has weighed that up, as a facet which would be a nightmare in the WC?
I've got a new crush, involving Davy P.
When the opposition lose the ball, going forward about 30 yards out, how does it end at Propper's feet as he's doing a random, semi circular, arching run.
It's like they pass to him and Davy nonchalantly carries on with his arc, ball at feet.

I was proud to be an Albion fan tonight, fans and players gave a good account of themselves but it was a bridge too far. We were far from disgraced, a win or draw would have been nice but we limited United to two clear chances and they scored from both 
Now back to concentrating on staying in this league

We were the better team 2nd half, but United's class came through for them.
Still, it's been an unexpected and enjoyable Cup journey to the Quarter-Final stage.
Once Premier League survival has been secured, the season will have been an excellent one.

It was a great effort, but when you go away and play that well it is disappointing when you dont take a couple of the good chances we created, especially when, yet again, United were not that good.
Having said that their first goal was almost impossible to defend against and our passing going forward and across the back was top notch.
When you get that far in a cup competition it is disappointing to play well and go out.
Mourinho not happy with his team again.
Its a measure of how much we have improved that I am disappointed that we did not take it to ET.
