Liam Rosenior rant in full following âindefensibleâ Chelsea defeat to Brighton
Liam Rosenior launched into a scathing rant after his Chelsea side lost 3-0 to Brighton on Tuesday, eviscerating his players and their lack of effort.
Itâs the first time that the usually level-headed coach has let loose and publicly criticised his squad for a poor performance.
Here is everything the 41-year-old told Sky Sports in a withering post-match interview.
âBy far. By far. It was unacceptable in every aspect of the game, unacceptable in our attitude. I keep coming out and defending of the players. Thatâs indefensible, that performance tonight. The manner of the goals we conceded, the amount of duels that we lost, the lack of intensity in the team. Something needs to change drastically right now.â
âWe need to look in the mirror. I need to look in the mirror. But I canât keep coming out here and defending some of the things weâre seeing. Manchester United, genuinely the result wasnât there, I felt we turned a corner. The general attitude, spirit, determination was lacking a part from maybe three or four of the eleven. That is nowhere near enough for this club. I canât come out and lie. Iâll tell the truth. That was an unacceptable performance in every area.â
âThe goalâs terrible, we have an easy header, we miss the header. The passage before the goal upset me even more. I think there were four or five occasions where we can actually show some courage and quality, and take the ball down and actually play. We just kicked the ball back to Brighton. You can speak about a lack of confidence or results not going our way, that doesnât represent anything that I ever want to see. And I wonât ever see it again.â

âThe professionalism wasnât there. Itâs a really difficult night. The most difficult night not even just here, so far, at this magnificent football club, but in my career. Some of the things I witnessed today, I never want to see again.â
âYou have to ask the players. Whether youâre playing at this elite football club or any football club, to even be accused of throwing the towel in is unacceptable. Thatâs all Iâm going to say. Iâm hurting. I feel numb because that doesnât represent me or the football club in any way. It has to change, starting with the FA Cup this Sunday.â
âI donât want to go into that right now. I have my own thoughts, my own feelings. I have discussed in depth about how this club⊠regardless of whoâs the manager, what needs to happen at this football club for this club to be where it needs to be. Itâs not about me, itâs about this football club. Chelsea represents fight and spirit, determination. And that was lacking in every department this evening.â
âWeâve had injuries. Itâs not an excuse, itâs a reality. That team we put out today was far better, in terms of this engagement to the game. For me, I will pick a team on Sunday that represent the club in the correct manner.â
âThis was a huge game and we didnât hit the mark anywhere near. Any game between now and the end of the season is a huge game and it needs to look like that in the way that we play.â
âThatâs your opinion. I have to sit with the staff. And we have to make sure we get it right for Sunday.â
