Chelsea interim manager Callum McFarlane, speaking to Sky Sports: "A really disappointing result and performance. The first 15 minutes were not good enough. That set the tone.

It's hard to say [why it went wrong at the moment]. I'd probably like to review the game to look at such a stark contrast to the way we defended against Leeds.

"Enzo Fernandez hits the post and Cole Palmer misses the penalty; when you have such a bad start you need those kind of moments to go in your favour, and unfortunately they didn't."

On whether Chelsea are a difficult team to coach: "I wouldn't say that. I don't think we lacked effort and commitment. We got into some good situations in the second half, it wasn't down to a lack of effort.

"We believe we will [stop the 'rot'] we see the lads every day, and they are doing everything they can. We need to move on quickly, and it's about responding now."

On Jesse Derry: "The update is that he is in a good condition. I need to fully speak to the medical team but it's positive signs."

Chelsea forward Joao Pedro, speaking to Sky Sports: "From the beginning, we conceded too early and against Forest it's difficult to change the game. I think we should do better.

"We need to find a way to try to not do these mistakes every game. We need to start to win games. This is the Premier League and if you concede too early after that it's very difficult to come back.

"Everyone needs to look at themselves - me included. We need to find a way to do better. I feel sorry for the fans - tomorrow we will see what has gone wrong.
