To be fair, you boys were unlucky tonight.

Bad double deflection for the first goal, 2nd was obviously over the line before Sterling cross and 3rd, well Aguero is class, but bad defending by Stones.

Your biggest problem at the moment (bit like us without Coquelin) is nobody protecting your back 4.

If you had, for example Fernandinho doing what he did tonight for City, it could have been a different result.

Chin up Gents, bit of a weird team selection, but you were very unlucky.

Dags. fair play mate. but what yo talking about. we had 2 X holding midfielders out their. the fact is we can't defend, are not coached to defend and have a clueless manager that knows nowt about how to defend which was shown at Wigan when they got relegated and shipped 2-3 goals a game. time for him to be sacked. at any other big club with his management stats and record he would of been long gone. bye bye Spanish fraud!

have to disagree
we were all over the place plus it could have been worse, two off the post
we just can't defend. score an early goal, go 3 1 up, cancel out their away goal and then throw it away
this maniac, martinez, is going to drag us down.
time for the board to grow a pair and get this mess sorted
stones get rid now. take the money and run
baines passed his sell buy date
coleman one season wonder
kone oh the humanity
jags caught out to easily with a ball over the top
barkley is he really that good
osman when is pension day
there is no spine, grit or fight in this team.

That's why we need Besic.

Fair points,
I must admit I missed some of the game. Jumped in bath at 1-1, got out and it was 3-1, but from what I saw your 2 x holding mids were not as effective as Man CIty's 1 x holding mid (Fernandinho) .

I appreciate RM gets bad press on here, justifiably, but where was those 2 x holding MIDs when you was defending a 3-1 aggregate?

I appreciate you were without Mo Besic, who is immense and who would have offered you more defensive cover, but you can't legislate for 2 first goals, and indeed, the class of Aguero, albeit, Stones should have busted a gut to get in front of Aguero even before the ball was crossed in.

There's a reason we concede so many deflected shots. It's not just bad luck. We back off and allow teams to shoot. If we shot on site more often we'd reap the benefits. I know we were robbed tonight but to take Deulofeu off was criminal. To look on the bright side at least there's no chance they can beat us in the final. It's hard work being a blue can't take much more heartbreak.
