Nicholas: I worry that after this poor and insipid performance, we will finish our season with a whimper rather than a roar. To have come so far and miss out on an FA Cup final, and possibly Europe, would be a harsh kick in the teeth for a team that have played well for much of the season. We simply weren't up for the occasion and bottled it.

Manchester City reached the FA Cup final with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. It was a nightmare start for Nottingham Forest as Rico Lewis gave Manchester City the lead after two minutes.
