In the latest Q&A, Chelsea reporter Nizaar Kinsella addresses the rumors surrounding Estevao Willian’s happiness and limited playing time, alongside the tactical question of whether Xabi Alonso will switch to a back four. On Estevao, both the club and the player’s camp deny any major issues, though the attacker naturally wants more minutes. With a massive squad and no European football, squad depth is a challenge, but the player is handling the situation well for now. Regarding the defense, while conceding goals is a concern, Alonso is not locked into one system. Switching from a back three to a back four might not instantly fix their defensive woes, as some defenders have struggled while attackers have flourished. Chelsea also need to improve their possession and set-piece defense. Before making a major tactical shift, the club will likely try to make the current system work, especially with Moises Caicedo playing a key role.
