Shitehouse. Look clueless.

People worrying where we would play Grealish as if Martial should start another game.

Really, really poor.

Outclassed by a better team and a better manager.

Can we talk about Ole's in game management???

Poor second half did us in. First half we were giving them something to think about at the back, but second half we barely looked threatening.

Ole needs to change games sooner too.

City well deserved. But we need to stop shoehorning Pogba into the left

Didn't show up today. Important game but shows how desparate this team are getting to get to a final. Dominated throughout the pitch, and we lacked composure to deal with it.

Schooled by the heavy favourites for the league. Created absolutely nothing when we fell behind.

Play like this in other games against the big boys and this will be another long, dull season.

United need a proper striker the Martial experiment has surely run it's course.

City just sat us down and showed us the difference between an actual elite side and a top 6 side on a great run of form.

Dig up stupid!
Played OK without really testing them

The 2 sides looked better matched than some previous meetings but ultimately city are still a better side than us.

Frustrating but not the end of the world

We are losers.

Lads like Bruno give it ten, but they’ve never won anything.

Henderson isn’t very good.

As an Ole outter I'm quite happy, it's been a tough time recently but hopefully this is the beginning of the end for the Norwegian fraud and his lutefisk brand of football.

It's just a shame now that Poch is at PSG because we still had an opportunity to be saved.

The discrepancy in coaching in both sides was evident. If Liverpool don't improve, title is theirs to win. They are just ridiculously good at times, even without some of their best players.

Well, new semifinal defeat. City were little better. More direct in the play. I didn't think we did to bad. Two setpieces that caught us.

Martial and Rashford were bad. Rashford needs to learn to take it easy sometime when he runs. Martial, shocking. It wasn't pretty him doing a Salah/Sane either.

Maguire brilliant. So was Fred. Pogba on the plus side.

Hello VAR? 2 handballs but nothing given.

Losing with a whimper always hurts. Rubbish competition and won't shed tears but losing to city without looking arsed about scoring is a wake up call

Not quite at it on the night unfortunately. Typical in these kind of games to end up losing on set pieces.

In general play I don't think we were too bad really, though obviously not particularly good either.
