According to The Sun, Terry urged Savi Alonso to abandon zonal marking.

Speaking on his personal video channel, he said: "I'm a bit old school, I prefer man-to-man defending. I don't like zonal marking or near-post marking."

Terry continued: "In my opinion, Brentford figured out in the first half that we were exposed at the back post. We had smaller players marking their biggest players, so essentially we were leaving Brentford to win aerial battles. Balbuena can never win that header. You could put 100 crosses into the penalty area and Yannic Vestergaard would win every one of them. It's virtually impossible."

"But when the ball goes over the near-post marker into that area, nobody knows who is supposed to mark who. I still don't like zonal marking. I understand almost every team plays this way, but there's no individual accountability."

"In my view, players need to take responsibility. Whoever is marking Jadon Sancho needs to stand up at halftime or after the match, raise their hand and say, 'Guys, I apologize. That was my man and I lost him!' Even if the ball flies over their head and comes into the near-post area, if you're marking Sancho, all your focus should still be on Sancho."

Chelsea have yet to record a clean sheet this season, with their run without a shutout now extending to 21 matches. Terry called this record "unacceptable" and acknowledged that Chelsea are going through a "difficult time."

He added: "It's really not good enough. When you start looking at statistics and numbers like that, from our perspective it's completely unacceptable and something we need to improve. We're having a difficult time, and we're going through it right now."
