🗣️ Liam Rosenior:

🤝 𝐎𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐢𝐫 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐬:

“It’s amazing the things I’ve just said about what you go back to: your care values and principles, hard work, lack of ego, strong values. Not just Manchester United in their period, this football club in their period, when you see the lack of ego in this team when it was at its best.

“With John, with Frank, with Didier, they were a team. It wasn’t a team of egos. There’s a team of big personalities who fought for the shirt. I think that’s what we need to show now.”

🤔 𝐎𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐦:

“Yeah.”

👀 𝐎𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 whether Rosenior is the right man for the Chelsea job:

“I was questioned after three minutes of joining this club, let alone three months.

“The noise? If I couldn’t deal with the noise, I wouldn’t be sat in this chair. I’m aware. I’m so aware of what things would be like, in terms of the noise, for me, if things, which is natural for every manager, go in a different way to what you want. It’s absolutely fine. I’m confident in the project. I’m confident knowing what we want to do in the future. I’m confident in this job.

“I don’t think there’s a manager in world football who hasn’t gone through a time like this at a certain stage of the season and it’s up to me and the football club and the team to show what we’re about.”

💪 𝐎𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐢𝐱 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬:

“That’s the great thing about the quality we have in this team, we are capable. But to be capable is one thing, to go and produce it is another. Time is running out.

“We need to make sure we get each performance as perfect as possible in every aspect of the game, and in the knowledge that if we do that, we have the potential to win every game between now and the rest of the season.”

After winning the league phase of the regular Premier League 2 campaign, our Under-21 side will be doing a lap of appreciation at approximately 7:30pm tonight ahead of our match against @ManchesterUnited. 👏

Let’s have it 😂😂😂

🚨 Before switching to Chelsea, Garnacho turned down an approach from @Al_Nassr. There was also an enquiry from @Bayern_Munich and @Aston_Villa. Those still interested may make themselves known, though it is believed Chelsea have not relayed anything to him as of yet.

🗣️ 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.”

Brighton (A) next.

🚨🤕 BREAKING: The expectation is that Estêvão will return to the pitch in 15 to 20 days.

🗣️ 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.”
