It was one of his better crosses this season, just a shame it had to come during the shootout

Meanwhile they are still looking for the balls of those who didn’t fancy one, putting Dabo in a spot he should never have been in

Fadz should have stepped up for me, he's got a shot in him and probably a calmer head under pressure

OK it was a bad miss but not as bad as the OP suggests.

I was very unhappy when I saw he was going to take it and don't think he should have been put in that position, but I guess it would have been more pressured if he'd been 10th up, although it shouldn't get that far.

I would have had him about 9th or 10th on the list to take a penalty so was very surprised to see him step up 6th and knew he was going to miss.

But he deserves huge credit for stepping up.

I was thinking it would be Bidwell up 6th.

What makes people do that?!? I mean I get us being pissed at him in the heat of the moment (for clarity, not if racist!!), but people with no skin in the game to decide racist shite is the way forward?!? Should be an instant ban from those social media channels really. Prosecute if you can find them too. Absolutely no need.

Thats Fucking disgusting. I hope like with Saka and Rashford that it’s not from here and is cunts who have watched the match abroad or whatever. Any city fan found giving racist abuse to players should be kicked out the club never to return. Absolutely unacceptable.

The racist abuse is 100% wrong. Doesn’t matter what the colour of his skin is. That’s irrelevant.

What matters is his miss, has cost us going up, our best chance in the last 21 years of returning to the PL, because he simply couldn’t kick a football properly from 12 yards with only the keeper to beat.

I for one, hope we never see him at the CBS again, because my feelings towards him, which have been swaying all season from one of my favourite players, has now gone right the other way to one of my most hated players.

But none of this should be based on the colour of his skin

I think the fact we didn’t start playing at all until the second half has as much to do with us not winning

Every player who takes penalties has missed them. Once you get deeper into a shootout you're getting towards the players who you wouldn't usually rely on, but he at least stepped up.

Yep, he’s the one that missed yesterday, nobody else, he’s the one that lost us the game. What should we do? Pat him on the back and give him a bravery sticker?

As soon as I saw him walking up I knew we’d lost.

Somehow wrapping your sudden Dabo hatred in an anti-racism message only makes you look more deranged.

no, you say it was a shite penalty- but you also say it wasn’t the single reason we didn’t win, question why he ended up going next and don’t totally destroy the guy saying he cost us £170m

The racist abuse is clearly absolutely disgusting.

But it's all from bots and trolls abroad, I'm certain there won't be any Cov fans doing it, and probably not even anyone in the UK.

(not saying that makes it OK, just to clarify)

I don't think dabo missing a penalty should change how you feel about him as a person or player ..

The stakes are so high , the pressure so big .. he never wanted to miss .

my gripe from the pens was it seemed to me after the 5th pen the players didn’t know who was up next. it seemed Bidwell went to go then Dabo strolled up.

I honestly think this is shocking

Dabo stepped up to take the penalty - he’s not a penalty taker. He’s clearly struggled with injuries and isn’t the player he was but certainly in league 1 he was a great player and has always served the club well and did his best

I’d imagine he’s feeling devastated now and it will probably live with him for some time.

Someone had to miss and it was him. I assume if the goal against Panzo stood he’d get the same but the penalty makes it more targeted I think

I assume he volunteered when others didn’t. Look at them perhaps
