Brentford 3–0 Chelsea | 22 Days
22 days to sit on Brentford 3-0 Chelsea, 22 days for Xabi Alonso to find a plan B, 22 days to restart the season. A perfectly decent first half unravels when Jaidon Anthony nods in from a back-post corner, and the familiar Chelsea collapse follows: one goal down, crosses going nowhere, no answer. Chris backs Alonso and asks for patience, while Joe wants the back three binned, Estêvão on the pitch and Lavia alongside Jordan Henderson, who might have been Chelsea's best player on the night. Plus João Pedro's absence, Levi Colwill at left centre-back, and why Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth always seem to arrive with a plan Chelsea don't. — ★ ★ — Chapters 00:00 22 days to sit on it 02:00 A first half that was fine 03:30 The back-post corner and the same old Chelsea 06:30 What happens when Chelsea go a goal down 07:45 Jordan Henderson in a Chelsea shirt 08:30 Estêvão and the subs that never came 12:00 Why Chelsea have to back Xabi Alonso 16:00 Joe: "an appalling watch" 18:30 Henderson best player, Lavia on the bench 21:30 Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth have a game plan 28:00 The back three has to go 32:30 Five points behind Arsenal, four ahead of Coventry — ★ ★ — Meet the Hosts Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.
