Liam Rosenior labelled his players' performance as indefensible and unacceptable after Chelsea lost a fifth straight match without scoring. The defeat marks the first time since 1912 that the club has failed to find the net in five consecutive losses, per Sky Sports. Rosenior questioned the squad's commitment to the club following the result on Tuesday.
Chelsea remain in the bottom half of the Premier League table as their losing streak continues. According to The Guardian, the manager expressed frustration with the lack of intensity shown by his team during the match. He stated that the current run of form was not good enough for a club of Chelsea's stature.
The result leaves the London side facing significant pressure ahead of their next fixture. The Athletic reports that Rosenior intends to address the squad's mentality in training this week. No goals have been recorded by the first team since early March, which has led to increased scrutiny of the offensive tactics employed at Stamford Bridge.
