3 reasons Chelsea lost at Stamford Bridge! ๐ต
Was it Joรฃo Pedro's absence, Xabi Alonso's tactical mistakes, or Tottenham's midfield dominance?
๐ What do you think?
I'm drawing parallels with how Xabi Alonso initially prioritized results over playing expansive, possession-dominant football during his first season at Bayer Leverkusen.
That gives me hope that Chelsea will eventually reach a point where we're not just winning games, but consistently controlling and dominating them, just as Alonso's Leverkusen eventually did.
Alonso has work to do, and I believe he'll get it right.
Even with Pendersโ blunder, this loss is strictly on Alonso. His questionable decisions cost Chelsea. As Tottenham took control, Alonso froze tactically.
The match was crying out for Barco or Lavia to anchor the midfield, and bringing on Welbeck would have freed up Rogers to play in his natural position. Instead, no changes came.
