Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso expressed his disappointment with his team's performance after their 3-0 defeat against Brentford. This marked the Blues' second loss in five Premier League games this season. Despite a strong start in the first half, Alonso's side conceded three goals in the second half. Goals were scored by Jaydon Anthony, Igor Thiago, and Fabio Carvalho for the Bees.
Alonso criticized his team's lack of consistency, stating that they were not able to compete throughout the entire game. He emphasized that each action can be decisive and that they need to improve tactically. Alonso said, "Disappointed with the second half, disappointed with the result. This is not how to compete in the Premier League.
We were punished. 'At the moment we are not being consistent enough to compete during the whole game, 45 is not enough, you need to compete for the whole game. Each action can be decisive.'"
