Liam Rosenior has declared himself accountable after his Chelsea side once more wilted badly after conceding a goal within the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.<\/p>\n

The Blues were heavily beaten at home by Pep Guardiola\u2019s men on Sunday afternoon, making it three league defeats on the spin.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s hopes of qualifying for next season\u2019s Champions League remain alive, but they need to improve as they sit sixth, 4 points adrift of Liverpool in fifth, and only one point ahead of Brentford and Everton below them.<\/p>\n

It isn’t the primary convincing loss for Rosenior\u2019s side of late, having lost 3-0 at Everton and each 3-0 and 5-2 to PSG within the Champions League last month.<\/p>\n

The west Londoners were within the match with the sport goalless at half-time but City got here out firing after the break and scored three goals in 17 minutes from Nico O\u2019Reilly\u2019s opener to Jeremy Doku\u2019s third.<\/p>\n

Rosenior accepts that his team are fragile once they go behind, taking the blame for that frailty and saying it’s something he must fix soon.<\/p>\n

\u2018Not adequate within the second half,\u2019 he told Sky Sports. \u2018We didn\u2019t start the half well, we had moments to clear the box and didn\u2019t. We had the moment to maintain the ball and didn\u2019t. They were camped in our half for the primary five minutes, where we concede a goal. Great cross and great header.<\/p>\n

\u2018Then it\u2019s an identical story for the past month now when it comes to coping with setbacks. Once you go a goal down against a team nearly as good as this, what you’ve gotten to do for the following five minutes is stay in the sport.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m accountable. This can be a group that something now we have to enhance at. It starts on the training pitch, your habits and values. We\u2019ve already spoken about this stuff.<\/p>\n

\u2018I can\u2019t say there was an absence of effort, especially in the primary half. There was a insecurity within the second half, we began losing the ball more easily. We now have to enhance because for the time being, we\u2019re in a difficult place and have one other big game next week.\u2019<\/p>\n

Asked in his post-match press conference about learn how to fix the difficulty and whether it’s something he can do before the tip of this season, the boss was clear that it’s an issue that have to be cured imminently.<\/p>\n

\u2018I even have to, I even have to,\u2019 he said of remedying the difficulty. \u2018At once we\u2019re still within the race for the Champions League, we still have the chance to win the FA Cup. I even have to alter it now. <\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m not a manager that hides behind perhaps needing to do something with other players within the transfer market. I even have to alter it now, that\u2019s why I\u2019m here. <\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s something now we have to deal with because its happened too repeatedly where we\u2019ve been in games with top teams. First half I assumed we were very, excellent today, same against PSG for 75 minutes, but we concede and the cards begin to fold.\u2019<\/p>\n

While Rosenior was frustrated, Guardiola was understandably purring as his team kept their Premier League title hopes alive with the win.<\/p>\n

They at the moment are six points behind Arsenal at the highest of the table, but with a game in hand and with the Gunners going to the Etihad next Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u2018I used to be joyful. Winning away in a Premier League ground like Stamford Bridge, the fans are joyful. We’re happier,\u2019 he told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u2018Second half was a thousand times significantly better. It was not bad the primary half, but some players weren’t as they were meant to be.<\/p>\n

\u2018We attacked a little bit bit on the left side, but the correct side they only played to our threat. The second half was higher on each side.\u2019<\/p>\n
