That's a few big derby games now where we have failed to close out a lead. We need to be an imitation Leicester when we are defending a small advantage late in these games, we don't seem to know how to do this yet. We'll need to be able to play that way in Champions League games next season, there will be times where it's a ten minute game and all we have to do is not concede a goal.

im not that positive about the aggression shown. i think it was what let chelsea back in. i'd have thought poch mightve had us better prepared than that. the first half was okish, dembele madness aside. but we still invited them in with needless fouls and pushing etc. we are far better than them and at 2-0 shouldve had it wrapped up. as for the mason miss, im gutted. i think hes a pretty brick footballer and wouldve fallen off my chair if he had even tested the keeper properly. hes toss.

I am proud of our players for this season...
yes our players lost the plot but at least they showed they cared...we will be in trouble no doubt from the FA and rightly so.
If this group of players can learn a few crucial lessons we will challenge for honours for years to come, we need to stop drawing games we should be winning that has ultimately cost us a chance of winning the league, we need to be more clinical and we can never lose our heads like that in a game again.
Lets enjoy champions league football, something we would have all loved at the outset of this season...they can fight to hold onto their mercenaries.
Its how we react to this next season that will define us, our young coach and players will learn from this hopefully.

To some extent it was slightly organised. Every player put a big one in and shared them round so no one went off. It was a like the 99 call plan from 1974

Did you not see our players behaviour?
Fail in the big occasions. Haven't got it in us. Proud of the season. Not proud tonight tho. Chelsea are average this season and we were 0-2 up and ducked it

On the basis of how we have played this year, we lost it in the first two months of the season. Any other year, a draw away at Chelsea would be seen as a good result, but we needed more. I can say I'm proud of our style of football (imo probably the best in the league when we are on our game), proud that we have a young and exciting squad, but absolutely gutted that we couldn't win the league.
We haven't yet got that steel in us to just shut up shop after we get a good lead. Despite our GD we don't have enough clean sheets, so that's something to address for next season.

We can it ourselves before they kick-off. Providing they dont beat Villa 12-0 in the last match
We beat Southampton we are 2nd. Done, dusted. Would love to do it that way, and have a real good celebration as the players walk around

That's not right, they are 9 goals behind us. If we lose our two games 2-0 that is 5 goals they need... if they beat the Gooners 3-0 they only need a 3-0 against Villa
I know it's sh1t letting a lead slip to those qunts, but look how far we've come.
Chelsea are celebrating drawing against us on their home ground, so that another team beats us to a league title while they sit in 9th place, 22 points behind us. We used to be that sh1t, all we could celebrate was when rivals didn't win something. Now it's them.
