What Xabi Alonso said after Everton legend Peter Reid tells Chelsea boss ‘I’m blaming you’
Story updated
The story in brief
30-second readXabi Alonso might have only been in charge for seven Premier League games, but he was forced to respond when Everton legend Peter Reid told him, “I’m blaming you”, for Chelsea’s leaky defence.
It might have been the display of a side that has not conceded for a while on Saturday, but the fact of the matter was that Saturday’s clean sheet was the first in 23 Premier League games, dating back to January.
Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea conceded plenty in the first half of last season, but Liam Rosenior’s men let more in than most. Calum McFarlane tried to stop the rot, getting a clean sheet in the FA Cup semi-finals.
