Wesley Fofana joined Chelsea in 2022.

Number of clean sheets in the @League_Premier with @Chealsea: 6

Unbelievable.

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."

It's been that bad at the back. 🤯

🗣 Joe Cole on Chelsea not replacing Enzo Fernandez:

“Xabi Alonso is sending a message to the board saying we have not got enough, and I’m putting a 16-year-old kid into midfield when we are chasing a game away to our rivals. That was clear as day for me. And the way he walked off at the end, I think he is furious with that.”

🔵🎙️ Levi Colwill on @Chealsea’s performances:

“There have been good moments, and there have been moments that haven’t been as good. Thankfully, we still have time to improve. Hopefully, we can progress, get back to our level and become a better team.”

🚨🔵 Xabi Alonso on his approach at @Chealsea:

“The Premier League and the competition are really difficult, but with time, we improve things and manage to have a better impact on everything.

“I’m quite pragmatic and I try to adapt a lot to the quality of the players. I try to analyse and assess how to get the best out of them based on their qualities.

“It’s not like I always have to play 3-4-3 or 4-4-2. For me, the most important things are the ideas, the principles and the connection between the players.”

🚨🔵 Levi Colwill believes those remaining with Chelsea over the international break must use it as an opportunity to 'become a better team' under Xabi Alonso.
