Chelsea's defense remains a work in progress as Alonso questions fixes
Xabi Alonso warned that Chelsea's defensive fragility persists despite their strong attack, saying switching to a back four isn’t a cure and improvements will depend on players’ profiles and time. He cited soft open-play goals and vulnerable set-pieces, emphasizing that better defending is needed and may come only with time or key moments, especially with Caicedo injured and transfer activity paused until January ahead of a Brentford trip after the international break.
