Liam Rosenior has launched a scathing attack on his Chelsea players after a 3-0 defeat to Brighton, labelling the performance 'indefensible'. The loss marked Chelsea's fifth consecutive Premier League defeat without scoring a single goal, a feat not seen in 114 years.
Brighton's victory at the Amex Stadium all but ended Chelsea's fading hopes of Champions League qualification. The Blues now sit seventh in the table, with Brighton leapfrogging them into sixth. The result leaves Chelsea at risk of missing out on European football entirely if their dismal form continues.
In a blistering post-match interview with Sky Sports, Rosenior did not hold back. 'By far the worst result,' he said. 'It was unacceptable in every aspect of the game. I keep coming out and defending the players. That was indefensible. The manner of the goals we conceded, the duels we lost. Something has to change drastically right here, right now.'
The 41-year-old head coach added: 'We need to look at ourselves in the mirror. I can't come out and lie. I tell the truth. That was an unacceptable performance at every level.'
