Chelsea Legend Kerry Dixon and Stamford Chidge look back at a Chelsea season that ended in disappointment with an FA Cup final defeat but saw the Blues win the Premier League title for the 5th time.
Kerry and Chidge whilst disappointed that Chelsea lost the FA Cup final, acknowledge that Arsenal played well and showed more desire. Defeat could be a blessing in disguise, proving that Chelsea are not the finished article.
Looking ahead to next season, Kerry believes we need at least 2 world class additions to the squad – a striker and a creative midfielder – to mount a challenge on the Champions’ League and the Premier League. Kerry also hopes to see some of talented youngsters get the chance to shine.
As for this season, Antonio Conte gets the plaudits for turning things round and exceeding expectations and getting the best out of the team. On the pitch, Eden Hazard has been the player to catch Kerry’s eye – a deserved winner at Chelsea’s POTY awards last week.
All in all its been a great season, and on a personal note Kerry and Chidge would like to thank everyone who has listened to our first season of podcasts and sent in messages. They’ve been great fun and we hope to be back in August for the new season.
