I think Sarri was over all let down by having absolutely awful strikers, Giroud, average at best and Higuaín just never settled at all, missing a sitter in his last or 2nd from last game which led to Chelsea fans singing for Tammy Abraham, that isn't exactly good for confidence!
Also I'd like to point out Tammy Abraham is not the answer, I like him at Villa, he scores goals, hes done a good job for us, 1st bloke to score over 25 in a season for us since Andy Gray I believe (1977) but he also misses a lot of "easy" chances, I'd be more than happy to see him at Villa next season (should we get promoted) but hes a long long way of being anywhere near good enough for a team near the top, that said Tyrone Ming isn't, I love that bloke and is our best loan signing in my life time, maybe along with Jimmy Milner back in the day

Heading down to Wembley tomorrow, well 4 miles away got a hotel booked for tomorrow night and Monday night, hopefully to celebrate, can't explain how nervous I am, the though of suffering this heartbreak 2 years in a row isn't bearable, more confident this year than lost though, as I'd seen us play Fulham in the league and get stuffed, where as Derby we've stuffed twice this season, although of course its still a 1 off "cup" final.
Worst part of losing is the thought of losing Grealish and the highly unlikely chance to sign Tyrone Mings and then potentially losing John McGinn!!

Quick mention too the Newport fans, although they should be in the welsh leagues!! too lose like that today, I can't even imagine
