Levi Colwill Calls for Chelsea's Defensive Improvement
On September 18, Chelsea FC suffered a 3-0 defeat to Brentford FC, extending their winless streak in the Premier League to three matches. Levi Colwill emphasized the need for Chelsea to improve defensively after the loss, which saw goals from Jaidon Anthony, Igor Thiago, and Fabio Carvalho at the Gtech Community Stadium.
This defeat pushed Chelsea down to seventh place in the league standings, with seven points, five points behind leaders Arsenal. Chelsea had previously enjoyed a strong start under current coach Xabi Alonso, scoring 19 goals in their first four matches.
However, the absence of Joao Pedro due to a knee injury diminished their attacking capabilities against Brentford. Alonso made four changes to the starting lineup, including giving Jordan Henderson his first start against his former club.
Colwill noted that the team must use the international break to address their defensive issues and cannot solely rely on their attacking players for solutions.
