Since Chelsea let in six goals yesterday, here’s six Blues flops we think need to be sent packing by the club this summer.
Of course, we’re aware it’s probably far more likely Maurizio Sarri will be the one heading out of Stamford Bridge before any of this lot, such is Roman Abramovich’s record with hiring and firing managers.

This squad, however, is not up to the task, so here’s six players we think urgently need replacing at Chelsea…
1) Marcos Alonso
