Edson Alvarez on failed Chelsea move:

"As a player you're aware that this would change everything. A better league, a better life for you and your family. This is what it's all about for me. I'm here for my love for football but also for my family."

"I am very disappointed about it. But I am convinced that one day another big club will come for me. This winter, or in the summer. For now I can only focus on Ajax."

Here's your starting XI

ℹ️ @ChelseaAnalysis

Looks like Sterling and Pulisic as wide Wingbacks again

ℹ️ @ChelseaAnalysis

A nice 19th birthday present for Omari! 🎉

@ChelseaAnalysis

Thiago Silva 😤

2 goal line clearances in successive minutes

#INGAMEAnalysis

I even won't fully blame Thiago there..our midfielders can't contain the ball in the early minutes leading to Brighton's transitions

ℹ️ @ChelseaAnalysis

#INGAMEANALYSIS

Am not saying anything on how we choose to approach games from the start. People will call me toooo negative

#INGAMEAnalysis

Our pressing is so weak ,Brighton are finding good runs behind our high line

#INGAMEAnalysis

There's no way Sterling is still in the match

Can't even blame the players anymore because Estupinan and March are easily finding spaces in behind ..

Wrong approach from the start !

ℹ️ @ChelseaAnalysis

The run continues...

ℹ️ @ChelseaAnalysis

#INGAMEAnalysis

Chelsea switched to a 4-3-3 with Ruben and Cucurella as RB and LB respectively

Pulisic is playing his favoured LW

ℹ️ @ChelseaAnalysis

And magically..we are playing well and more balanced

ℹ️ @ChelseaAnalysis

We are 2 -0 down and we are still passing sideways..

Typical Chelsea

Fulltime Brighton 4 - 1 Chelsea.

Kovacic and Silva gave up at the end

A 9 game unbeaten run comes to an end

Clearly lost it in the first half

ℹ️ @ChelseaAnalysis

Chalobah not losing when he starts streak comes to an end

We should've have known we can't go into a season without a competitive backup for James Kante and Kovacic 🙁 you just can't rely on them

Thank God Thiago Silva isn't Injury prone nowadays...
Hope it's the first thing done this January

ℹ️ @ChelseaAnalysis

Villa we got lucky, Brentford absolutely peppered us, forced into an early sub due to game plan going wrong vs United, game plan and system wrong today, saved by a screamer from Gallagher vs Crystal Palace. The truths people don’t want to hear.

2nd game consecutively starting tactically wrong

What is he even saying?

I dont see a player score one guess work super goal and i start praising him forgetting the 9 times he has squandered chances. I dont call some inconsistent guy guru just because of one night he slept well and forget the other 19 mistakes he makes.. I always ask myself what would happen if he makes the same 19 mistakes against a more ruthless opponent. Then I ask myself whether the mistakes are improving as games come along. I leave my emotions out of analysing players and tactics. Thats why today an emotional guy would find my piece awesome and the next one he reverse calls me an emotional maniac because have touched his favourite player or coach raw nerve.  But I always say things as they are and you can only see sense if you set down emotions. Todays fireside will be in two parts. The tactical report and the general game report
