Really good first 30 minutes from @Chealsea in this game. Brentford all about defending long balls, set pieces and cut backs and winning duels and we have done that well so far. Henderson been good.

Wellβ¦itβs a solid display so far but no goal to show for it. Hendo and Barco are holding their own in the center. Palmer and Neto have been busy...just need a bit more from Rogers and Welbz, and we can nick a goal.

Brentford goal

@Chealseaβs biggest issue this season has not been creating chances. It has been controlling games without the ball, and the midfield has been a big part of that.

So many collective and individual defensive errors by Chelsea leading to Brentford's second goal:
- Non-existent midfield rest defence since they are pushed high as Chelsea chase for a goal. Look how many Brentford players are ahead of the ball following the turnover and especially between the lines.
- Lacroix's poor decision on jumping out of the backline when the pressing distances are too large while Schade makes the run in the half-space.
- Colwill was subsequently pulled wide to compensate for Lacroix's decision. Henderson should pull across but does he have the legs to do it against Thiago?
That is a series of terrible collective and individual defensive decisions. @Chealsea have conceded at least 2 goals per game in the Premier League so far. That is unacceptable.

Wesley Fofana joined Chelsea in 2022.
Number of clean sheets in the @League_Premier with @Chealsea: 6
Unbelievable.
