Brentford goal
❤10😁6
@Chealsea’s biggest issue this season has not been creating chances. It has been controlling games without the ball, and the midfield has been a big part of that.

So many collective and individual defensive errors by Chelsea leading to Brentford's second goal:
- Non-existent midfield rest defence since they are pushed high as Chelsea chase for a goal. Look how many Brentford players are ahead of the ball following the turnover and especially between the lines.
- Lacroix's poor decision on jumping out of the backline when the pressing distances are too large while Schade makes the run in the half-space.
- Colwill was subsequently pulled wide to compensate for Lacroix's decision. Henderson should pull across but does he have the legs to do it against Thiago?
That is a series of terrible collective and individual defensive decisions. @Chealsea have conceded at least 2 goals per game in the Premier League so far. That is unacceptable.

Xabi Alonso on Joao Pedro's absence:
"It’s not about looking for excuses. We need to look at each other and know that we have to work and improve because there is still a long way to go. We have to check many things. We got into situations, but we were not precise enough with the final action. That’s why we didn’t score."
Xabi Alonso on #Chelsea's mentality:
"It’s about everything. It’s about the mentality, the football and the tactical things that we need to keep improving. We can do much better."
Xabi Alonso:
"I’m disappointed with the second half and with the result. This is not enough to compete in the Premier League. We were not able to maintain our level for the full 90 minutes and that’s why we were punished today."
Xabi Alonso on bringing on Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli:
"At 2-0, we brought Mahdi on. He has great energy, and we are short on options in the middle. Geo and Este have been training well. Before we were playing for 75 minutes with a team with experience."
Xabi Alonso on set-piece woes:
"Not just set-pieces, in defensive duels, in the build-up. We conceded the first goal and then we lost shape and conceded on a transition. To be able to understand the game and know what it takes to compete until the end. It's a process."
Xabi Alonso on the difficult job at @Chealsea:
"We knew it was a process, it's five games. In a competitive
@League_Premier, every game is going to be hard."
Xabi Alonso on what disappointed him in the loss against Brentford:
"We have dropped our consistency, our competitive mentality needed in the second-half. The small details can be decisive. You don't have to give advantage in these kind of games. It's about 95 minutes and we have not been able to keep that level and we will have to do better."
