Does Alonso know what he’s doing at Chelsea?

It’s another nightmare at the Stadium of Light for Chelsea.

Matt Davies-Adams and Liam Twomey look back at Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Sunderland, courtesy of a dominant performance by Brian Brobbey and some questionable refereeing decisions.

Why doesn’t Xabi Alonso trust any of his number nines in Joao Pedro’s absence? Should he drop Cole Palmer? And despite a lot of tinkering with the lineup, why does it feel like the manager is making it up as he goes along?

Plus, Chelsea Women were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton, costing them top spot in the WSL, and Lauren James is a doubt for next weekend’s huge clash with Manchester City.
