"You feel it, especially at the end," Timber said on Sunday evening when asked about the pressure on the team when seeing out games. "We stopped playing a bit, which was unnecessary - especially with a man up. It's something we need to work on, talk about as well. It happened a couple of times this season already. We put so much effort into the game, especially in the first half, and you have to go up 1-0 or 2-0, but these things happen - especially against a good team like Chelsea. It's part of the game, you have to understand what happens in the moment. The energy within the players and the crowd, the anxiety. It's something we need to address and talk about."
