"I don't think Chelsea have any major worries about Xabi Alonso at the moment."

"Chelsea fans have high expectations, they want to be winning every week, so whenever they lose a game there is a lot of noise."

"A defeat against Sunderland will be a bit of a worry, it's an awful result. Chelsea's biggest problem is their consistency, they can win 5-0 one week and then go and lose 1-0 the next, but that's on the players just as much as the manager."

"Alonso is being backed to turn things around, and they want him to be in charge for a long time, because they think he can lead them to success."

"So whether or not the fans are a bit frustrated, I don't think it really matters, because the club are happy with what they've seen from Alonso."

“They are both at it at first, then Brobbey grabs Colwill and puts him on his back like a rucksack and decides to wait for some contact on his legs. He obliges, he goes down and it is a penalty.”
