[Albion] The best team won today but...

[TomandJerry]

I am glad we gave it a go. Well done to the players and thank you for the Wembley experience.

No. We fizzled out of the match big time. City were saving themselves for Tuesday night against Tottenham in the Champions League.

They were so poor. What an opportunity wasted.

Gave it a good go second half, without making their keeper make a save! Just not enough to break them diwn

 

[Djmiles]

We gave it a good go in the end. We HAVE to take that performance and turn it in to some positive results in the league.

Can’t say we laid down and rolled over though. I’m happy with the performance.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Considering most people thought we'd get mullered, it's a decent result.

Something to build on in the league. Nowt wrong with losing by a goal to City, even when they're below par.

Think we were good for a draw. If there was an official / VAR operator with any bollocks and without big club bias, I think we’d have caused an upset. So proud though, played brilliantly. Knocky, Dunk & Bernardo particularly outstanding. Hold your heads high.

A good demonstration of why our way of playing, when we do it right, has some value. Yes Ok we lost, but we were never out of the game against the highest possible quality opposition.

The lads were a credit to themselves and the club, another demonstration of how far we have come. It wasn't that long ago I would have taken a draw against Torquay.

Special props to Knockaert, I could feel his effort and passion from my livingroom.

Just a shame we couldn't give a not bothered City more trouble in their box and make Ederson work

 

[Durlston]

I think Citeh will look upon it as an ugly win - similar to when we won 1-0 away to Dagenham and Redbridge in April 2011 to help us along to win the League One title in the final days of Withdean.

But boy, they look absolutely shattered. There's no way they'll win the Champions League but a domestic treble would be an amazing achievement.

I was in the Dagenham end for that one, 1-0 Muzza thank you very much!

Much better than of late, we were always in the game

Definitive discipline was there (couldn’t do much about the quality ball for the goal)

Still missing that centre midfield option to link up with speed

If anything they should take their performance as a positive and take this on now we are concentrating on league survival

Proud of the team!

 

[Muzzy]

Take that performance into our league matches and we’ll be fine.
The boys did real good today against one of the best teams ever. They were very fortunate with the sending off decision that could have made a huge difference to the result.
Proud is an understatement.
Let’s get behind the boys to keep us up, they deserve our support after today’s efforts.

This. I'm more confident about survival after that performance; more so because we won't have one eye on the Cup!

A moment of poor defending cost us. But City rarely threatened. I wish we took a more proactive approach in the first half and took it to them sooner 2nd half they were very worried about us.

 

[Spicy]

Very well done to the lads for the way they played today and very proud of them all. Good and timely substitutions IMO. Just wish we could have wiped the arrogance off of City's faces, especially their goalie's.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I think we did ourselves proud, particularly the first part of the second half. As sometime said, we have come a long way for them to be time wasting like that, we should take credit for but making it easy for them. Yes we didn't trouble their keeper much but with a little luck we may have been celebrating a famous win. It is hard to give city credit when they have spent more money than just about any team in history and we have spent relatively little. It's one reason, along with age, why i am not heartbroken at this result, whereas i certainly was when we lost the final all those years ago.

It was actually a very good goal, no complaints from me, it was a brilliant move by classy players.
But their only one of the match, after that we more than held our own and even had them rattled.
Ok they may have been in 3rd gear, they may have had an off day but on the day we gave them a hard game

Apologies for the negative post. Just a bit frustrated personally at the moment. We did play some good football.

Carry that on to Bournemouth next week and three points will be in the bag.
