Rosenior was not happy with his team\u2019s reaction to City\u2019s first goal and says their mentality in those situations is an ongoing problem.<\/p>\n<p>Liam Rosenior reaction \u2014 What did Chelsea manager say after match vs Man City?<\/p>\n<p>Difference between first and second half? \u201cNot good enough in the second half. We didn\u2019t start the well. Had moments to clear the ball and didn\u2019t. Had moments to move the ball and didn\u2019t. It\u2019s a similar story to the past month or so. When you go down a goal against a good team, you have to pick yourself up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is something that we have to improve. It starts on the training pitch, it starts with me. I can\u2019t say it\u2019s down to effort. There was a lack of confidence in the second half. We have to improve cause at the moment we\u2019re in a difficult place and we have another huge game next week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On what went wrong; \u201cWe gotta remember we\u2019re playing against a team pushing for the title. This club demands that. We need to wins game like this. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve come to the club. The first goal is difficult to stop. The second goal is an error on the edge of the box. The third is a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCucurella\u2019s offside, it\u2019s not an excuse for the second half but that goal goes in we probably go up but we have to be more resilient to setbacks. We have to stay in the game. You\u2019re playing a very good team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How much did <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/soccer\/news\/enzo-fernandez-banned-for-two-games-by-chelsea-after-comments-the-line-was-crossed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Enzo Fernandez\u2019s absence<\/a> hurt? \u201cAny team will miss Enzo Fernandez. Myself backed by the leadership we made a decision for the long-term for the club. It\u2019s nothing personal with Enzo. He\u2019ll be back in the group, a top, top player and a top guy. Enzo wanted to have conversations with the main players of the group. In my press conference he hadn\u2019t done that yet. I didn\u2019t want to say something and have to take that back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt could be and we have to focus on that but we have to get the next bit right. How we come back from set backs and how we get the first goal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior set up to counterattack and take at least a point from Manchester City\u2019s visit&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":527383,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-527382","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=527382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527382\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/527383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=527382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=527382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=527382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
