Just looked at the BBC report. Bit of a verbal salad IMO.

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior, speaking to Match of the Day:
"Nowhere near the levels, not even tactical, tackles, duels, intensity, spirit, energy, passion all lacking and that is the reason we lost."

Why did this happen?
"I have my own ideas, I am not here to make excuses. that was unacceptable from everyone involved with me at the head of it. That needs to change.

"It is accountability. I have defended the players at times when it was the correct thing but I can't defend that performance. It doesn't represent this football club, it doesn't represent anything I ask from the group and that has to change.

"I feel numb I'm so angry. I always speak on what I see and that was unacceptable. The goals we conceded were unacceptable and that is something I have to hold my hands up to.

"I will look at the team, will look at individuals and I will look at a team I can trust to do the basics of football and we should not be talking about the basics of football at this level. It is something we have to adjust very quickly.

"Tonight was not [about] tactical. This was about desire, spirit, courage and I did not see enough of that tonight.

"Nowhere near good enough and we have to improve that."

Hadn't realised that Aaron Ramsey was at Leicester (on loan). Had a few chances to win them the game.

That's the former Villa player and brother of Jacob and Cole. Not the Welsh Celeb killer.

Those former Brighton players did well tonight.

Liam Rosenior : "In English, 'Brighton', if you split the two words is 'bright' and 'on', so you need to be bright and switched on to beat Brighton. Today, we weren’t either.”
