What’s going wrong with Chelsea’s defence?

Chelsea throw away another lead as Hull City fight back to earn a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge. Is Xabi Alonso’s side becoming too reliant on outscoring opponents, and how big a problem is the defence? Matt Davies-Adams is joined by The Athletic’s Simon Johnson and Sam Parkin to look back on a frustrating afternoon for Chelsea, including more questions over Malo Gusto, Morgan Rogers’ brilliant start, and the decision-making from Xabi Alonso. We also discuss whether Penders should get a chance in goal, Chavarria’s case for a start, the latest from the Chelsea ownership group, and how the women’s and academy sides got on at the weekend.
