From the source

A lot is being made of Chelsea’s ball possession during games this season, with Blues supporters starting to get frustrated. Simply put, Xabi Alonso’s side have not been in control of their matches.

Against Everton and Bournemouth, they showed all-round improvement. Chelsea won both of those games, defended well after conceding just one goal and saw a reasonable amount of the ball.

However, everything went out of the window in their 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend. But just how little of the ball are Chelsea seeing under Alonso?
