KIERAN GILL: Sitting in the Stamford Bridge directors' lounge‚ just Xabi Alonso and a few of the Chelsea-dedicated correspondents‚ the talk turned to setting standards after such a substandard season. 'I can't assess the things from the past because I was not here so it would be unfair‚' Alonso told us. 'But what we want is a team with the right mentality‚ the right hunger‚ the right standards and on a daily basis to build on them. That's important. 'I'm not a general‚ but I'm a good professional‚ and I know what it takes to be a good professional. Those are the standards we want for the whole building.'
