Fabio Carvalho scored in injury time to earn Brentford a point.
James reflected on the game, saying, "It's disappointing not to win. We came to Brentford to win, but we found ourselves down a goal, and we adjusted our strategy to get back in the game. Brentford is a strong team, and they took advantage of our mistakes."
James acknowledged that the team was not happy with the draw but is committed to moving forward. "We'll keep fighting and accept the result," he said.
James also discussed the first half, stating that there were several factors that contributed to the team's poor performance. "It's a tough place to play, especially after an international break. We have high standards, and it's no excuse for not meeting them."
James noted that Brentford caught Chelsea on the counter-attack in the first half, but the team failed to respond. He also mentioned that the second goal came from a set piece, where Brentford excels and Chelsea struggled.
