West Brom fans have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment at Hal Robson-Kanu’s performance and their shock at the Welshman’s late miss in their Carabao Cup defeat to Manchester City at The Hawthorns on Wednesday night.
The Baggies went into the clash with the Citizens having scored just twice in their previous three games, and having only scored more than once on one occasion so far – the 3-1 win over Accrington Stanley in a previous round of the same competition.

But unfortunately, the Wales international did little to suggest to Pulis that he should keep his starting spot for Monday’s game with Arsenal as City booked their place in the next round with a 2-1 win.
Leroy Sane scored twice, either side of a Claudio Yacob equaliser. But Robson-Kanu had a golden opportunity late on to send the game into extra-time as he found himself through on goal.
