Chelsea's 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur was Xabi Alonso's worst moment as Blues boss, with Alonso getting his tactics and team selection wrong, resulting in Chelsea being dominated. The Chelsea supporters were unhappy with the loss. Chelsea now face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
To win against Liverpool, Xabi Alonso needs to make at least one change. Danny Welbeck should start if Joao Pedro is still injured, having been on fire in the Carabao Cup with three goals in two games. Welbeck's experience would be valuable for Chelsea's young players.
Alonso's decision to play Morgan Rogers instead of Welbeck against Tottenham was a disaster, with Rogers being ineffective and barely involved in the game. Welbeck is a natural and proven striker who would have had more opportunities. Alonso should learn from his mistake and start Welbeck if Pedro is still injured.

Source context
Chelsea’s 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend was Xabi Alonso’s worst moment as Blues boss so far. Alonso got his tactics and team selection wrong on the night, resulting in Chelsea getting absolutely dominated and beaten by their fierce rivals. Unsurprisingly, that did not go down well with the Chelsea supporters. The good news is that the Blues have an opportunity to quickly bounce back. They face Alonso’s former side Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. If Chelsea want to win and make it to the next round, there is at least one change Alonso has to make.
