I thought we showed them too much respect in the first half, I get that we didn't want to go behind early and get thumped, but that was exactly what was on the cards!
Once we took the game to them, they shit themselves, they couldn't handle Tavares's pace and trickery, and that outlet (along with a timely tactical change) gave us a foothold in the game.
Sheaf was fantastic, and Torp showed some real quality, and Dasilva had a great cameo, all in all a brilliant come back which should of seen us go through at the death.
Fuck VAR!

Usually shit all over Maguire but he was Man Utd’s best player by a million miles today and showed complete class after the pen shootout.
Antony on the other hand is a fucking rat faced weasel.

Mainoo and Garnacho were their best players and it’s baffling they both went off.

I like VAR, but it can't come down to a toenail.
They should have looked at that and said "no clear and obvious error."
And I would have said exactly the same if that had been Man U and not us. 100%.
You can't bring It down to that level of microscopic judgement. It's ridiculous.
If it's that close, stick with the on-field decision.

Thats four from four penalty tosses we've lost now. Someone up there doesnt tlike us. I still think it would be fairer doing it from the half way line, not that there were any United supporters left to put ours off. O'Hare looked far to cocky and confident when he stepped up and didn't look bothered at the end.

Didn’t celebrate much when he scored either. Shouldn’t have taken a pen really.

No it wouldn't, look at the decisions they've had from VAR. It is a lottery when it's that close

I've called for it recently but in two games we've had two major decisions against us. O'Hare kick to the face and a 50/50 VAR call.

If none of the officials in the stadium think there’s a problem with a goal, some arsehole in a computer room should not have the final say.

Not sure I agree. I go the other way with this decision. It's factual it's either on or off. This should be the only decisions it gets involved in.

He'll be devastated. It happens. The players the manager - there were things to learn from the game particularly the first 60 minutes; I'm a little annoyed with the VAR thing but mostly - if you'd told me when I was watching that game against Doncaster that the time would come when we were third favourites for the FA cup and Man U were clinging on for penalties... it's a good day.

Antony cupping his ears at the end after he came on at 3-0 up and was part of a complete crumble vs Championship opposition

Genuinely would’ve preferred to just lose 5-0. Can’t believe it. Last minute winner disallowed by the closest of decisions, leading in the shootout. I’m sure I’ll think differently in a few days or weeks but I’m devastated.

It’s not though. The cameras refresh rate a s resolution leave a margin of error.

When do you define the ball being played as well? When the player first connects or when it leaves his foot?

Me too. We’ve come so far though over the last 5 years - our day will come.

This game should give this team the belief that they can compete with the big boys in the EPL. We just have to work on making performances like this (for the last 21 mins of regulation plus 30 mins of extra time) a more consistent part of the way we play. We have raised the profile of this team the last couple of seasons with last season’s playoff final loss and today’s FA Cup SF loss. Just need to use these experiences as a platform for continuing to build this team by attracting better talent. That will help us get to the EPL soon and hopefully make Wembley appearances a more regular thing.

Both of them need to get as far away from that club/manager as possible. They seem to be progressing in spite of the club rather than because of it.
Eriksen for Mainoo when we were in the ascendancy is so brain dead it defies reality.

Not sure I agree. Though it’s cruel to lose this way, it shows we are not that far off from being a competitive PL team. We gave too much respect to them and played too deep in the first half. If we took the game to them sooner we could’ve maybe won during regulation.

They’re both very young and not had time to have the class stamped out of them yet. Rashford was really pedestrian today I thought, and should be a warning to both of them.

From the little I’ve looked most of football twitter seems to think it was a joke as well.

Can't agree with this. At half-time I thought we were in for a proper pasting. What a team, what a manager and what fans! A travesty at the death but we stood toe to toe and won.

Probably only Onana and Fernandes who think it was actually offside
