      Couple of things here. first congratulations to Spurs and Liverpool confirming their participation in the CL next season. it was a well deserved effort. two congratulations to Mohamed Salah for winning the league top goal scorer. we never deserved to finish above the teams that finished ahead of us in the table if i’m honest.

      Good luck to Liverpool for their CL final game in two weeks time. as for us. going back to the drawing board. where we finished reflected our performances this season. let us see what the next season brings. potentially a new manager and few changes in the playing staff. and hopefully we may be back. but i have my doubts about that. resolving this mess will be difficult and messy.

        Chelseaman, it’s been a terrible season for all sorts of reasons and Chelsea have dropped points v teams that they should not be dropping points against but despite the terrible season Chelsea were still in the race for a CL place going into the last two games of the season and despite such a terrible season Chelsea finished just 5 points off of 4th place.

        If we sort ourselves out in the Summer starting with who will be the Manager there’s every chance imo that we will be back next season properly competing for a CL place. Cheers 999

          Chelsea sti have an excellent squad guys.

          I can’t understabd why Willian is not a starter every game. Jose be sniffing around him in the summer

          Rudgier has been good at the back. Some really good players still there

          I like conte. I’d like to see him stay in the pl

          Would you guys like to see him stay or go?

          He massively over achieved last season so I think he deserves a bit of a break

            Sean, there’s been lots of problems and they all can’t be put at Conte’s door imo. But this all started to unravel at the back end of last season when with a big new extended contract on the table Conte pushed for control of transfers the club said no and Conte rejected the extension and took the salary increase and the media have been all over it since and things have gone down hill from there.

            Losing Costa and Matic and then not effectively replacing them just added to the problems take two top players out of a title winning team and then don’t effectively strengthen a team that as you say probably over achieved last season was only ever going to end one way.

            It’s gone too far now imo though and a change has to be made for the good of all parties.

            Chelsea need a new Manager, Hazard and Courtois to stay and some top quality signings in the Summer if they are to reclaim their CL place.

              There is no doubt that we have a good squad individually. and on paper we can compete with any team. but functioning them together as a group has been our Achilles this season. there are areas that our squad isn’t good. for instance we don’t have the battering ram we traditionally had up top over the years with Costa and Drogba both being that type of striker, which Morata and Michy weren’t. secondly we never had that physical presence in the middle which we had over the years with Ballack, Essien, Matic and others. Bakayoko is a promising player but he is not in the level of those player i have mentioned. he is young and was injured when we signed him, which subsequently costed him the preseason and was rushed back.

              Also we didn’t had leaders especially at the back. Rudiger,Christensen are both young players. our most senior defender is Cahill. and whilst he is good he is not Terry. we are have also lost the influence of Petr Cech over the years. and while Courtois has done well, he is still not influencing his defenders whereas Cech would influence and direct them. also our board has been so stubborn to listen the manager in the summer. again that doesn’t absolve the manager from any blame. he has his fair share also. his constant outbursts which affect the team moral. and his infamous sms to Costa, a time when the club hasn’t found the replacement. which put the club in to a state of panic. and clubs took advantage of that to charge us higher price for their players. for instance Everton started to demand €100m, Real Madrid started to demand €80m. the board also overruled him in the Matic sale. very poor from Roman.

              And finally, i can’t have any complains about the 4 teams that finished ahead of us. they had a better season. even-though we pushed them till the wire. there was always a feeling that it was a big ask to finish in the top 4

                Chelseaman, what do we have to complain about there’s been two PL titles in 4 seasons fans of some other clubs will never see their team win the PL title or have been waiting years for them to win one we’ve seen 5 PL titles in 14 seasons copious Cups and the CL trophy too.

                Football is cyclical and our club has lost some massive players over the last few years if happens to everyone it’s City’s time now and we have to rebuild with our first targets being getting back in the CL. If it all ended tomorrow it’s been one hell of a ride!?

                  I would love to see a couple of titles in the present and be happy if we took our record to 21 as the most successful of clubs.
