Thoughts on our performance tonight π

π£οΈ Xabi Alonso on Chelseaβs 6-3 win over Leeds United [H] in the Carabao Cup third round:
π€ βMany things happened in the game.
βFor sure, I take responsibility for a lot of them; no player to blame, itβs the decisions that we took, and for sure, the first half, things were not going the way we wanted.
βWhen you havenβt had time, and when you donβt have time to work with them, itβs difficult to compete at this level, so itβs my responsibility, and we have to take the decisions at half time, and we have seen a second half with quality, tempo.
βWe need to analyse, but happy with that we are going through, happy with the reaction, but as well analytic about what we have done.
βIt was difficult for them [fringe players].
βMaybe I made it too difficult because itβs a strong side. But overall, you need to react. You need to take decisions, and the impact was good from the players that came on.β
π€ ππ§ π°π‘ππ π§ππππ¬ ππ¨ π’π¦π©π«π¨π―π:
βWe want to have better balance, to be more solid, to be able to win in a boring game as well.
βFive games, we are now through, and now we have these two games before the international break that are fundamental.β

Sources close to Geovany Quenda say he remains confident of playing an important role under Xabi Alonso this season. Quenda has not featured for Chelsea since MD1, where he made a brief cameo appearance from the bench.

Sources close to Quenda say heβs fully fit and is Xabi Alonso just not selecting him.
(kierangill)
Stay calm on Quenda and Estevao. Chelsea believe Estevao will be a superstar, people close to Quenda are calm at the moment. It is a new season, new project, Alonso is trying to find guarentees, people he can trust, and it is also a new tactical plan.
