๐ฃ๏ธ Liam Rosenior on Chelseaโs 3-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion [A] in the Premier League:
๐ โIn the basics, in the pride you should have in wearing the shirt, that was unacceptable.
โIโve defended the players, and I am accountable. Iโve always said that. But after tonight, I think the players as well need to have a look in the mirror for what they put in. We lost 80 per cent of duels. We didnโt win a header. Two of the goals come when we could head the ball. At any level, if you make those errors and lack of engagement, youโre not going to win games at football.
โI saw commitment against @ManchesterUnited three days ago. We lost the game, but the performance was very, very good. Today was the complete opposite in every aspect. Thatโs what disappointed me the most.
โI understand why the fans are frustrated. Iโm frustrated with the performances weโre putting in. Iโve just got to keep working hard with the staff, with the players.
โI need to work with the staff 24 hours a day. We need to make the correct decisions for the team for a massive game on Sunday. And we will do the very, very best we can to turn it around.โ

Liam Roseniorโs position as Chelsea head coach is under threat with the clubโs BlueCo owners already weighing up a change of direction.
Itโs understood that Chelsea are ready to permanently replace Rosenior with a head coach who has experience at the highest level, should the 41-year-old leave his post.
But that might be easier said than done, with sources questioning which top-class manager would take the Chelsea job in the current circumstances.
Talks over whether Rosenior would remain in charge for Sundayโs FA Cup semi-final against Leeds United were held at Chelseaโs Cobham training ground on Wednesday, following Tuesday nightโs dismal defeat by Brighton.

Estevaoโs participation at the World Cup with Brazil is in serious doubt due to the hamstring injury the Chelsea forward suffered during Saturdayโs defeat by @ManchesterUnited.
Itโs understood Estevao has suffered a grade four hamstring injury, which would mean the 18-year-old is highly unlikely to feature at the World Cup. The tournament begins on June 11, with Brazilโs opening game against Morocco two days later.

๐จ More on Liam Rosenior's sacking. Chelsea felt it was their only course of action to try and qualify for Europe and win the FA Cup. Sources say several senior players had lost faith in the Chelsea head coach.
A thorough process to find a replacement is expected with Chelsea aware several qualified coaches are available this summer.
The focus is now on stability and giving the players the best possible environment to finish the season strongly.
Players and staff were informed before the announcement was made.
Decision was taken by the club's leadership team. Sources say there is acknowledgement some wrong decisions have been made, not just in appointing Rosenior, but across the season, with learnings now being taken ahead of hiring a new head coach.๐ต
