Trevoh Chalobah comments on Chelsea’s loss at Manchester United

Trevoh Chalobah has admitted that Chelsea’s loss to Manchester United is on the players.

Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah spoke to NBC Sports after the 2-1 loss at Manchester United, admitting that the players were to blame for the loss. He believes that the Robert Sanchez red card should have been avoided, but added that the Casemiro sending off helped them get back.

“We have to look at ourselves as players. It wasn’t good enough for ourselves, for the club. The first 15 minutes is the worst we’ve played this season. We have to reflect on that as a team and learn from this.

“With the red card that happens, you go 2-0 down in the game, any team you play against, it’s always difficult coming back. We struggled in the first half.

“It’s always difficult going down to 10 men and you can see that United were up for it. They put us under pressure. It wasn’t good enough at our end.

We couldn’t get going in the first half. Things like this happen in the season. We can’t say we’re kids anymore, we’ve played in the Premier League long enough now. We have just got to learn from this and move forward.”

Chelsea have now picked up just eight points from their first five Premier League matches, already putting them seven points adrift of leaders Liverpool. They face Lincoln City next in the Carabao Cup, before taking on Brighton & Hove Albion in the league.
