Chelsea entered their match against Hull City at Stamford Bridge with a glaring defensive crisis, having conceded in 20 consecutive Premier League games. Manager Xabi Alonso fielded a revised backline featuring Colwill and Gusto, yet the hosts failed to stop Hull's 1.32 xG display.
A Persistent Defensive Crisis
The Blues' inability to keep a clean sheet has become a defining narrative of the season. Sky Sports' Callum Bishop noted that this is a problem that has impacted the team for some time, not just under Alonso, marking the 20th Premier League game in a row their defence has been breached.
The signing of a World Cup winner and multi-time Yashin trophy winner in the form of Emi Martinez is all well and good. However, if he has defenders not doing the basics in front of him, he may as well be Robert Sanchez.
Hull City's Threat at Stamford Bridge
Hull City managed a 1.32 xG at Stamford Bridge, a fair reflection of how dangerous they were at times. Most of the time, they had chances put on a plate, rather than carving open the hosts through sustained pressure.
JP Morgan has contributed at least one goal per game this season, and no one has been able to stop them from contributing at least one goal per game. However, you can't bank on them to get you out of footballing bankruptcy if you can't keep clean sheets.
Alonso's Path to Improvement
The potential in attack is obvious, and certainly exciting. However, Alonso needs to tap into his learnings under Jose Mourinho and make this Chelsea side much tougher to score against if he wants to challenge.
Much of the talk surrounding the Chelsea team that Xabi Alonso is in the midst of creating is what they are capable of in attack. The question remains whether the defensive frailties will continue to undermine their ambitions.
