Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior says four players not good enough after 3-0 Brighton loss

Chelsea suffered a 3-0 Premier League defeat to Brighton on Tuesday, April 21, with goals from Danny Welbeck, Jack Hinshelwood, and Ferdi Kadioglu, dropping the Blues to seventh place. Manager Liam Rosenior apologized to traveling fans, stating the performance was unacceptable and that only three or four players gave full effort, while four were "not good enough." He declined to name individuals but emphasized accountability.

The loss raises concerns about squad depth and morale ahead of Chelsea's FA Cup semi-final clash with Leeds United this weekend. Rosenior said he will rally the team for a swift response, though the upcoming match offers a chance to rebuild confidence.

For Nigerian EPL followers, the result affects Chelsea's league standing and European qualification hopes, while the FA Cup presents a potential silver lining. The situation also invites scrutiny of player commitment and tactical choices under Rosenior.

Will you back Chelsea to bounce back in the FA Cup, or do you think deeper squad changes are needed to restore form?
