Chelsea's Poor Form Continues

Chelsea's recent performance has been heavily criticised by the British media, with many labelling it the worst game under Xabi Alonso's tenure. This assessment comes from Voetbal International, who have highlighted the team's attacking struggles and defensive issues.

Chelsea's inability to create scoring opportunities was evident in their 0-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, with the team managing only seven shots on goal. This is the lowest number of shots taken by Chelsea in the Premier League this season. In contrast, Tottenham created more expected goals, with 0.74 compared to Chelsea's 0.43.

The team's disciplinary issues also came under scrutiny, with Cole Palmer receiving a red card, marking the 100th red card given to Chelsea in the Premier League. This is a worrying trend, as Chelsea have received nine red cards in the Premier League since the start of last season, more than any other team.

Despite the loss, some players, such as Pedro Neto and Moisés Caicedo, were praised for their defensive work. However, the team's attacking play was lacking, and they failed to make a significant impact in the second half.

Xabi Alonso has acknowledged that the loss is a collective responsibility, stating that the team must move forward. He also believes that Chelsea should have been more aggressive at times during the game.
