Sky Sports man reveals what Chelsea fans were heard chanting vs Brighton after ‘devastating’ performance

More importantly, the performances have begun to generate genuine excitement among the supporters.

Alonso’s emphasis on aggressive pressing, quick combinations and controlled possession has given Chelsea a recognisable style, while his willingness to trust the club’s talented young players has added further optimism around Stamford Bridge.

The reaction against Brighton suggests Alonso has already won over the Chelsea fanbase.

Chanting a manager’s name so early in his tenure is a strong indication that supporters are connecting with both the team’s performances and the direction of the club.

There is still a long way to go in the 2026/27 campaign, but Chelsea’s perfect Premier League start and League Cup progression have provided Alonso with an ideal foundation.
