"Everything's positive [at Chelsea], even though I got injured and had to recover. Now I've started playing, I'm fine and I feel good. I have to thank the coach and my teammates. I'm lucky because they managed me well..."

"I feel like I needed a new challenge. I feel like if I stayed at Chelsea ... I’m not saying that I wouldn’t have got to the first team as quick, because I believe in my ability, but I feel like Liverpool just gave me a new pathway."

Chelsea are a different team without João Pedro. They scored 17 goals in the 6 league games with him and only two in the four without him (and they were against United)
Other injuries have been disruptive too, particularly in defence. But the way Chelsea have adapted to losing João Pedro has added to a muddled start for Alonso. His team are still seeking an identity, having flattered to deceive in some early games:

Alonso on the penalty decision:
"I haven't seen it back. Nothing to comment on the referee. It is something that is our fault. We could have done better."

Alonso:
"The game has been really tight, really competitive, not many chances. The goal came from that penalty.
"We were not creating enough chances in the final third against the low block. We were not controlling and sustaining the attack there.
"You can do it, we spoke and worked. We didn't do good enough but we worked during the week to control his powers. For sure in a few situations we didn't do well.
"Today was going to be tough, a really close game. This team give you so much space and so much of the ball we need to be more precise and patient."

Xabi Alonso is here for his press conference: "We didn’t produce enough to deserve to win."
Alonso on Sunderland's physicality:
“We were ready for that. We knew it would take a lot to come here and win. It wasn’t that far, but it was about detail and things we can do better.
“We could have done even better. We didn’t do enough to score what would have been the equaliser.
“It’s Premier League, to be consistent in this block, we are still developing and improve. Today the feeling is not the best, but we have time to come back and reflect and come back for November and December and progressing.”
