At the end of first half, both teams were not able to score a goal. On points table both teams are very close to each other and that is why this game is important for both teams to improve their ranking on points table. Man City and Gunners have already started the season with 4 straight wins and if any other club want to join them then the only way is by winning the upcoming matches. I will wait till week 10 before I will pick top 3 or 4 teams that have chances of winning this season.

It's 84 minutes into the game already and Brentford is currently taking the lead with 2 goal to nil against Chelsea at the moment, which is actually impressive, considering the fact that Brentford have been outstanding lately since this new season started, as the first goal was scored by Jaidon Anthony at 61 minutes and the second goal scored by Igor Thiago at 83 minutes, and unfortunately he also got a yellow card by the referee for removing his shirt in celebration of his goal, which is actually funny. And at the moment, it's obvious that Brentford have won this game, because i doubt if Chelsea will be able to score a single for this remaining few minutes till the end of the game with the way they are playing. However, Brentforf have just skyrocked to the 3rd place on the league table right now by scoring this goals.

I'm surprised of Chelsea's defense today perhaps that's the reason why they haven't scored any goal yet, I see the marking 1 on 1 and I will say I'm actually impressed,
They already missed a big opportunity, as Rogers didn't contact a shot well, but regardless I believe Chelsea will have a win in this match, for now they should work on getting there first goal, I personally need more performance from wellbeck, cole Palmer is keeping a good performance, Rogers needs to be engaged in this match more I can't see what he doing at the moment.

Brentfort on the other hand are performing well just as expected, I always knew they will be an issue to Chelsea

Chelsea have started their disgusting performance again this season from losing to Arsenal and to playing draw with Hull city at Stamford bridge to losing 3-0 against Brentford tonight. A lot of expensive defensive errors done by Chelsea's defenders seen in this match that ought not to have happened. Xabi Alonso should looking into Chelsea's end know what he should do before it's too late for because he should be aware that Chelsea isn't with rubbish. And without hesitation, they will sack him.

Chelsea 3 Vs Brentford 0 FT
Wow! So Chelsea could actually play a match without also collecting goals from their own end, this is interesting, since the season started, there's no problem with Chelsea because I'm almost sure they would score but also they concede lots of goals, so it's almost a conclusion that they will concede. I was pretty sure before kickoff that both teams were going to score but I never knew they would end up keeping a clean sheet. This is a step forward, although Brentford missed so good couple of chances that they should have scored at least 1 - 2 goals.

I’m sure you mean this in reverse right,,, because Chelsea have being coming up with nothing but bad shit whichever way they can.

I don’t know why Alonso isn’t recognizing the potential of Estevao in that Chelsea squad. I get it that, his got to prioritize Neto in this regard but, he really should let results dictate here. Even Vini’s position in Real Madrid now is in contest with the arrival of Diomande, that’s what results can do and you don’t need a whole season to come to terms with that.

Estevao knows how to break into the oppositions defense line, more than we can say for Neto that depends on his pace which Estevao has hit too and hasn’t really hit what it takes to dribble his way through. He’s just the man that can help supply those balls to the trio in front.

I am not sure if you watched the match, but the result was actually the opposite of what you think. Chelsea got thumped by 3 goals to 0. Their defending is so horrendous, and I don't think Alonso is going to provide any quick solution. I think you have noticed that even in the matches they win, they sort of concede so many goals. Emiliano Martinez is not helpful in between the posts. My guess is that Xabi Alonso is going to get sacked before the season even ends.

Chelsea suffered two defeats in the matches they played and did not get off to a good start in the league. I had expected a strong performance from them in this match, but Brentford gave Chelsea no chance on their home turf and secured a 3-0 victory. Brentford remains unbeaten in the league and is performing well. I had thought this match would end in a draw, but Chelsea is not playing well, and they aren't showing promising signs for upcoming matches.

Brentford has recorded three draws, and the points dropped in those games were not ideal for them. I believe they will continue to play well in the coming weeks.

Hahaha, is this a joke? Are you drunk or something?

Brentford 3-0 Chelsea full time score is the correct one. Obviously you haven't watched the match, you don't even need to check highlights or the correct score sheet.

Have you seen Keith Andrews' face after third goal? What a joy he had. I always say Brentford is underestimated by many pundits but they are actually a good team.


It's disappointing that Chelsea and Manchester United have fallen behind without even getting into the race, but it's not unexpected. Once again, we'll be watching the battle between Arsenal and Manchester City. It doesn't look like there's a third team that will compete with them. Maybe Liverpool will turn things around. May God grant patience to Chelsea and Manchester United fans.

Brentford one of the unbeaten teams in the Premier League, handed Chelsea a heavy defeat at home tonight.
They beat Chelsea 3-0 at home, handing Chelsea their second defeat in the league, this is a really bad defeat for Chelsea because they played well against Brentford but couldn’t produce any goals.

Can't agree more. I think Alonso is intentionally letting Estevao sit out on the bench and not selecting based on results. We've all seen the fire in him, the qualities he posses and his capabilities, it's pretty certain he'd be more valuable and influencial than Neto so why is he not getting enough minutes. I pretty much agree that Neto hasn't been useful offensively and Chelsea isn't a small team to make defending top priority so I no reason why Estevao should always be left out when he could make the difference.

Honestly Alonso has a strong team and most of his problems are due to injuries and unavailability of certain players. Would've been a different outcome if Caicedo and James is available in the midfield and Joao Pedro as well. No excuses but this Alonso team is a still a work in progress and with several players absent I don't blame him much, I only blame him for leaving out Estevao from the squad. He was our brightest player last season and deserves better treatment. From seeing the lineup, I knew there was a problem for Chelsea.

Two wins and three draws, not the start expected from an underdog but this should be a good one unlike whatever Manchester United is currently doing.
How many goals has Dibu Martinez conceded ever since he joined Chelsea football club?! More than ten goals if I'm guessing correctly. They handled one of the best attacking clubs in the league and at the same time capitalised on their bad defenders and defending system. Xabi Alonso will have to look for a way to shield that up before new defenders comes in during the January transfer window. A lose ahead 9f international break. Humbling lose!

Someday will you will get delivered from the shackles of Chelsea. The expectation you have on Chelsea is too much, bring it down a little.
Chelsea are a shit club. The coach Xabi Alonso dont know ball. Average players in the team. Tell me one Chelsea player that is world class. Is Palmer still world class 

3:0. 3 fvcking 0 the match ended. Chelsea can't lace the shoe of Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford players. It will be a thing of luck if Chelsea finish top 4 this season.

Xabi Alonso is gradually risking another sack record to his profile which I don't think it would be good for his career because Chelsea might be the last big club he might manage if he gets sacked for bad performance, same reason Real Madrid showed him the exit door.

The defense of Chelsea today was zero with poor coordination that brought about those expensive errors which Brentford took advantage of. The substitutions made by Alonso also further killed the game for Chelsea, unnecessary rotation of players even when Chelsea were 2 goals down the coach was still bringing in a player like Nicoll Zajul to.come in and donwjat exactly?! It just shameful that nothing significantly has changed about Chelsea performance from about last season .

At least Manchester United came started the season rolling on the pitch for the likes of Hull City. Chelsea came with padded shoulders as though, it was going to be their season and we wouldn’t find them nowhere except in the top 4 all season round and then this.
Holding out a first half draw only to come conceding 3 goals in the second half! What’s there to say of this Chelsea team though. They did all the signing and got what could have being the strongest attack in the premier league as it stands but, it’s being so unproductive as we have it.
There defense line, probably the worst in the league as it is. Alonso needs to look into that quickly and get it fixed.

There are some outgone players that shouldn't have left without a proper replacement and we are suffering from it and one is Andrey Santos while Enzo Fernades replace was an unfortunate one.

The fact that Moise Caceido is not ye t back is a serious issue and now we can see how difficult our frontline can be when one of our three star men are missing in a tight game. The game is an eye opener of how far behind we are still currently and needs to do more overall.

Not at all, I wasn't drunk or joking when I made that post, it was an error from the app I used. Few weeks ago, an ad popped up and automatically downloaded itself on my phone, just maybe I had mistakenly granted it that permission to download because I know I didn't download any match update app lately. Since it was all about football updates, I allowed it and even signed up to it. Last week I was watching a match and it an update came through, it was a match I was watching Liverpool but the score were different. Home team scored but the away team was awarded the goal but later on it was corrected. That's exactly what happened again in this very match. It has earlier updated me that Chelsea won 3 - 0 and since it's a match I wasn't watching, I couldn't have known it's actually the reverse. It's my bad though, later on they updated it again, I guess the app has lots of glitches, but regardless, I have uninstalled it from my phone. I will stick to the other match apps that I know.

The massive injuries happen to Chelsea makes them worsen. Look at the line up, they missed many of their players, which is their main problems. No solution for this because their B team is not that depth. The rotation won't help them a lot due to the lack of quality from their secondary team.
The most interesting fact is they're a club with most conceded goals this season. It's truly exposing how garabge their team is. They might get some luck because their attackers could score a lot in the last games, but it's not happening anymore when one of them face injury.

They played 4 backs last season, and they got bad result. So dropping it to the three backs is worsening it now. They have no midfielders the whole season nor defense. It's more like they're only relying upon their attackers to win the game.
Believe me, they won't step up until they get proper midfielders and defenders to play, and they need a lot of players in both positions.

The painful season for Chelsea is not yet ending.

Chelsea match against Brentford was full of poor performances. Brentford had only 40% of the ball possession throughout the match but the team played a well-planned game and managed to score 3 goals. Brentford team was a lesson to all teams in how to play offensively while keeping the defense in a strong position. The team managed to put only 5 balls on target out of 11 shots, which resulted in 3 goals. I don't understand what kind of plan Xabi Alonso had in the match and they couldn't score any goals. Despite attacking several times in the first half, Chelsea's forwards were repeatedly defeated by Brentford's strong defense. It is risky to bet on Chelsea the way they are performing.

Are you putting the blame on Alonso for Chelsea incapability of finding the back of the net. I will put all the blame on the players and attackers for not being creative enough to outplay Brentford defenders.

I think, clubs are learning Chelsea game strategy and how to outsmart them on the pitch. Brentford just proved that and showed other clubs Chelsea big weakness. I hope, Chelsea can learn a lot of their defeat.

[Tmoonz]

Take it or leave it Chelsea is as worse as Manchester united this season, like what was all that awful performance for in the second half? Like they was looking all good to go at first half I was even so convinced that Chelsea was going to win that game, but to my greatest surprise, at the second half they were playing like they told them if they should win that game they were going to get a pay cut, like it was so annoying, I don't really know what people might be thinking of Manchester united as it stands, but the fact is same thing you're thinking of Manchester united, you should also think that of Chelsea, because they are of same level this season.

Chelsea poor form against Brentford, I am not saying this too strongly because the team saw several attacking attempts in the first half and I thought they would compete in the match but Chelsea could not continue any attacking effort in the second half. On the contrary, Brentford's attacking players pressed Chelsea's defense hard. Chelsea have been conceding excessively since the beginning of the tournament, they have conceded a total of 12 goals in 5 matches. For any team to get good results, that team's defense has to be strong. I do not want to compare Chelsea's team with Manchester United right now, Xabi Alonso can probably take the team to a better position, give him more time to strengthen the team.
