Flat but positive. We went toe to toe with one of the world's biggest clubs for 2 hours in a pressure match and outplayed them for long stretches. That's something to celebrate. If we'd got through, history suggests league form could tail off in the approach to a Cup Final we'd be 90% certain to lose. As it is, every motivation remains to nail the top 6 finish we deserve. I'd happily take 6th and an FA Cup semi-final as better than 8th and a Cup Final defeat. Just need to crack on.
This is my feeling. Strangely quite glad not to be having to go back to Wembley again in six weeks. The hassle of the scrabble for tickets. Lack of focus on the league. And the lack of enthusiasm to watch us play City with little chance of winning.
