Xabi Alonso was blatantly honest when speaking about his own team over the weekend, describing Chelsea as “soft.”
Chelsea dropped points for the second game in a row, needing a João Pedro equalizer to draw 2–2 against newly-promoted Hull City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon. The Blues went ahead early, but two goals in a six-minute span saw the visitors mount a comeback, and Alonso’s side only managed to rescue a draw.
