Probably covered in the match thread but does VAR not actually get consulted on Corners and Free kicks given in dangerous areas?

No complaints from me. Thought we'd lose by 4 or even 5. Man. City tend to be that good in cup finals if you look at their recent record.

We had a couple of short periods of danger which is really all you're going to get v Man. City and scored a nice goal and could've got another at the end.

Hopefully we won't come out flat v Leicester. Good job that's on a Monday. Jack really struggling at the end which is a big concern for next few weeks.

Defensively very very poor 1st half. Granted it was never a corner but the way we defended it was fucking embarrassing for a professional team.

Showed fight but ultimately too many players just not good enough technically. Cannot fault them for effort today.

Battled hard, hopefully the standard for the rest of the season. Very difficult against a top side but we stayed in the game until the bitter end.

Nyland 6, Guilbert 5, Engels 8, Mings 7, Targett 4, Elmo 6, Nakamba 7, Luiz 6, AEG 6, Grealish 6, Samatta 7. Trez 5, Hourihane 5, Davis 7.

Bigger worry is what was up with Jack late on. Can't have him injured if we want to stay up.

Looked to be limping for a lot of the second half. Unfortunately we couldn't get him into the game in the second half.

Lucky not to be battered BUT the score was 2:1 and they scored from a unjust corner.

I have no problem in letting them have a corner if the officials are unsure, but if it results in a goal it should be a VAR call.

Sterling is a horrible little cnut.

No time to feel sorry for ourselves. It was a poor decision to give a corner but overall they just have better players and a better manager. We gave it everything but we now need to take all of the good things we did into the remainder of the league campaign. That is all that matters now. This would have been a huge bonus but PL survival is really what matters.

Kept it to a tight game. We can moan on about the corner that shouldn’t have been, but we still should have defended it. Should have left Ally on too.
Biggest concern is Grealish reverting to his start of the season form. We need him more than ever now.

I thought he was good when he had the ball, he just saw so little of it which was puzzling.

Battled hard, but yet again we give two soft goals away.  Yes screwed over with the corner that wasn't, but we have to defend better than that

No disgrace in that result. Better team won obviously but we conceded too much possession, however the end result isn’t as bad as it could have been. Play like that in our remaining games and we should pick up enough points to stay up.
