They are playing really well now, not sure why they didn’t play like this from the start instead of that dirty diving pish.

Then they went up a gear.

Brought on super subs and up another gear.

Bollocks! Of all the people to lose to!🤬 Still, no shame in our achievement. We made the semi finals, and many didn't! I think Tutchel got it wrong with playing defensive, as was proved by the final attacking, but hey ho...

Agree. Its all fine if you were two or three up but not at 1 - 0. Pickford was outstanding in the 2nd half.

I think sitting back and trying to defend the 1 goal lead with 35 mins left was a huge mistake. We invited them on to us and they punished us.
