Liam Rosenior sack news: Next Chelsea manager odds, are board holding emergency meeting, who is his wife?

Liam Rosenior called Chelsea’s performance against Brighton “unacceptable” after they lost 3-0. He also said: “I've defended the players, and I am accountable. I've always said that. But after tonight, I think the players as well need to have a look in the mirror for what they put in. We lost 80 per cent of duels. We didn't win a header.

“Two of the goals come when we could head the ball. At any level, if you make those errors and lack of engagement, you're not going to win games of football.

“I saw commitment against Manchester United three days ago. We lost the game, but the performance was very, very good. Today was the complete opposite in every aspect. That's what disappointed me the most.

Liam Rosenior also commented that “I understand why the fans are frustrated. I'm frustrated with the performances we're putting in. I've just got to keep working hard with the staff, with the players.

“I need to work with the staff 24 hours a day. We need to make the correct decisions for the team for a massive game on Sunday. And we will do the very, very best we can to turn it around.”

To be entrusted with this role means the world to me and I want to thank all involved for the opportunity and faith in undertaking this job. I will give everything to bring the success this club deserves.
