Plucky little underdog Chelsea with their tiny 54 man, £2b squad, however did they do it??

Dissent moaning that Betis didn't put the ball out because Jackson hurt his pride

Well it sucks slightly that it's a revolving door around the top of the management ecostructure for one reason or another, stability seems to be a dirty word. But I'm confident that PIF are learning as they go along and at least in the short/medium term Howe seems to have the club on an even keel. I'm not saying Howe needs reeling in or is any kind of issue but to go back to what someone else was saying earlier (sorry forgot who it was now), I think he needs someone above him to challenge him and his decisions. And I say that from a management roll myself, sometimes it's hard to see the forest for the trees and it needs an outside perspective to point things out and to question things to make you process eventualities you may not have considered yourself. I'm sure now PIF have a better understanding of the remit required and are looking for the right person for that roll. I'm not overly concerned, but it would be nice to have an off season without additional drama in the fold.

It's more that mid-range of teams that we've struggled with.

Very obvious still we're reliant on a fully fit first 11, the drop off is too severe, big Joe has been an insane miss the last 2 games and we've looked toothless with Isak way off it. Something difficult about trying to enjoy failing our way to victory today, but I'm sure when the dust settles all I'll be bothered about is the Carabau Cup win and CL footy next season!

Based off that performance alone we deserved nothing, but we are where we are because we've deserved it this season. Saved on the last day by Man Utd is wild though. An end to a season beat forgotten, but fondly remembered for what happened mid-way through!

Pope motm

Just score, anyone, from anywhere, this is horrifically pathetic

We've been honking today

So incredibly angry and frustrated here

Oh dear

I mean games they've played towards the end of the season, not just today

Why do all our rivals get dead rubbers that just capitulate for them and we get these try hards?? Everton literally cannot move up or down even if they win or lose 20-0

Right changes made

Everything stays as it is and we're in CL but it would be such a deflating way to get it by default. A solid win in the 2nd half please 🙏🏻

Not enjoying this at all

Another frustrating game this, we need to go back into our normal shape

Man City are the least of our worries, Chelsea and Villa are the worrying games

Poor out of the blocks here, need to get control of this

If anyone is interested mandmdirect are selling off all our old Castore stuff dirt cheap here: https://www.mandmdirect.com/02/fts/?search=nufc

If these lot had even half a brain they'd want us to win today and secure CL football considering how hard we found it to juggle last time round and the fatigue that damaged our PL performance.

We have the quality to do that, we can beat any team on our day, the goblins down the road have no chance unless they plan on spending something north of £100m and even then I don't fancy them to survive. I'm not looking forward to the nerves leading up to the games with them but I genuinely cannot see them getting anything out of us or even being close.

It's 8 years since they were last in this division, were a completely different club, never mind team, they won't know what's hit them.

You're not seriously comparing Eddie Howe to FSA are you?
