Chelsea suffered a disappointing result, losing 1-3 to away team, Brighton. In this match, another Chelsea player received a red card, from this conditions, Brighton able to maximized their 11 men, and again, the winning goal came in injury time in EPL, not a surprise but like a trend. Let's see, two weeks, two red cards for Chelsea. This a significant loss for the team heading into their upcoming matches. What do you think? What's wrong with Chelsea?

The blame should be directed to all of their defenders and Maresca. I try to point out some key points here.

1. Poor and inconsistent defense really cost Chelsea so much. Their defenders always moving upfront and leaving their position. It makes them always too late in doing the transition from attacking to the defending. They also lack of defender who has speed in order to catch up opponent's forward.

2. Poor team management and subs by Maresca. I'm getting tired to see Maresca to always playe with 9 defenders combined 1 attacker after his team went down with 10 men. I know his point to ensure his team can defense his team's lead, but it's often became a boomerang due to poor backline. He shall stop this or he will lose his job.
