🗣️ Liam Rosenior on Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to @ManchesterUnited [H] in the Premier League:

😤 “It was a really difficult result to take. They’ve had one shot on our goal when we’re down to ten men because of an injury and they score.

“We have wave after wave of attack, put crosses in the box, and have moments that we don’t take advantage – we’ve hit the woodwork several times.

“What we can’t do is fall into a cycle where we feel like it’s not going to be our day, or we feel sorry for ourselves because we have to keep working and turn this around.

“People don’t want to hear me say how well we played and didn’t win the game. We’re here to win, and there are many elements of the process and underlying things that we’re looking into that suggest that if you stay in this process, we will win games of football.

“It doesn’t look like it at the moment, but the reality is Manchester United have come here, had one shot on our goal while we [momentarily] had ten men and won a game 1-0, which should be pretty much impossible.”

🏥 𝐎𝐧 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐞‌𝐯𝐚‌𝐨’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭-𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟:

“He was crying at half time; it was really devastating for him.

“It looks like it’s his hamstring and that has happened in a moment when he’s running through on their goal for a one-v-one chance – he pulls his hamstring in that moment. I hope Este comes back sooner rather than later.”

🏥 𝐎𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐳𝐨 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐳’𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

“ I just saw him in the dressing room – I think it was his calf.

“I’m hoping it’s cramp; he’s getting work on it right now because we want him, obviously, fit for Tuesday [against Brighton and Hove Albion.

“He ran himself into the ground for the club tonight and I expect nothing different from a man of his stature and quality.”

🗣️ Liam Rosenior ahead of Brighton & Hove Albion [A] in the Premier League:

🏥 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬:

“Joao [Pedro] will be a late call.

“He was out on the pitch today, and we will make a decision on him tomorrow morning. That’s a real positive for us because he will be back sooner rather than later.

“Estevao is definitely out, which is a real shame and we are doing further tests into the extent of his injury.

“Enzo [Fernandez] is absolutely fine, he’s available. Elsewhere we have no other new news to report. Everyone is okay, even though it’s a quick turnaround from Saturday’s game to tomorrow.

“Very hopeful that we’ll see him [Levi Colwill] before the end of the season.

“He played 60 minutes for the Under-21s, and while it was a very low-level game, getting 60 minutes was a really good start for him.

“We want him to be involved in the next game on Saturday with the Under-21s, and build him up because it’s been a really bad injury that he’s come back from.”

🔵⚪️ 𝐎𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐨𝐧:

“Fabian [Hurzeler] is doing a fantastic job. It’s a club that are built in a way that is built for consistency. They’ve got players who understand the system for a long time, and they’re going to be a really, really difficult team to play against.

“We have to make sure we train very, very well, which we have done today, and we go down to Brighton, but the only focus has to be on winning this game of football.”

😶‍🌫️ 𝐎𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟔𝟕 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 - 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞 - 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠:

“As a coach, you have to work to the data, you have to work to the process, because you believe your process works in the end. But in this moment where we are, we need to win a game of football. That’s the fundamental, that’s what this club demands, and in recent results, they haven’t been there. So data is one thing, and metrics and all of those things, but the most important statistic is the result, and we have to go after that tomorrow evening.”
