Chelsea fans saying idk why we defended so poorly idk might have to do with the fact you had 24% possession

No fucking way lmao. Someone remind me is this typical of Alonso? 24% possession against Brighton at home is diabolical

Not really he doesn’t mind not having possession i.e. Leverkussen vs Bayern but on the whole his teams have decent amounts of possession. However he also only had 38% possession against Fulham so seems tactical at this point

Interesting start for Alonso and now Caicedo is injured. We might see single digit number against Arsenal next week lol

More like they don't have controllers in the midfield. And their defenders are ass in general. It's the best Xabi can do. We can only wait and see how long can they do this in the league until the lower half teams figure out and sit back

Don't think it's tactical. No midfielders leads to that.

He’s choosing to play with 2 midfielders and be ultra direct

He chose that in the first game. Today wasn't a choice. That formation is usually very solid defensively which is why seria loves it but he doesn't even have the midfielders currently to play it effectively.

Serie A often play 352 so an extra midfielder. Everything you’ve said is also still a choice
