Xabi Alonso Frustrated as Chelsea Falls 3-0 to Brentford
Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso voiced his frustration following a 3-0 defeat to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, marking Chelsea's second loss of the season. The goals came from Jaidon Anthony, Igor Thiago, and Fabio Carvalho in the second half, as Chelsea struggled without striker João Pedro and captain Reece James.
This defeat extends Chelsea's winless streak at Brentford since 2021 and highlights their defensive issues, with the club having conceded 12 Premier League goals this season, the most in the league. Alonso criticized his team's lack of consistency and competitive mentality, particularly in the second half, stating that "the small details can be decisive." He emphasized the need for improvement across various areas to turn their form around.
Chelsea's next Premier League match is not until October 10, allowing the team time to address these issues during the international break.
