He stuck his chest out, he stood there, he made a stand, mate, make a stand when the sport is on, do something about it, lead your players, you\u2019re a person who plays for himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He\u2019s probably there talking to the coaching staff trying accountable everyone else around him, that ain\u2019t what leaders do, they galvanise their teammates, they be certain that they\u2019re organised, he has to know when he\u2019s on that pitch what Liam Rosenior wants, and he has to attempt to implement it on the pitch for his manager.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They usually are not playing for his or her manager. Whether it\u2019s him, Pochettino, Potter, Enzo Maresca, they throw all of them under the bus. The players need to have a look at themselves however the club needs to vary, you usually are not going to shift the mindset of those Chelsea fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Cucurella was poor tonight, Gusto was poor, the centre-backs usually are not adequate, whether it\u2019s Fofana, Hato or Chalobah, they\u2019re not adequate, the goalkeeper isn&#8217;t adequate. They need experienced players, no only in age but who&#8217;ve played a variety of games and know the Premier League, I would like to see leaders on that team just like the Chelsea of old.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This isn&#8217;t Chelsea Football Club, it\u2019s nothing like I recognise from a Chelsea Football Club\u2026 terrible.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Follow Metro Sport for the newest news on <meta charset=\"utf-8\"><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sportmetro\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Metro_Sport\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/metrosportuk\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"><\/use><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Liam Rosenior admits only three Chelsea players \u2018gave every little thing\u2019 in Brighton defeat<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"><\/use><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Police uncover \u00a31m prostitution ring involving 70 footballers and an F1 driver<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"><\/use><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro injury update after missing Brighton vs Chelsea<\/span><\/p>\n<section id=\"share-buttons-bottom\" class=\"share-buttons share-buttons-bottom\"><a class=\"metro-button share-bar-comments\" data-vars-position=\"bottom\" href=\"#metro-comments-container\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span><svg><title>Comment now<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#social-comment\" href=\"#social-comment\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"share-bar-comments__label\">Comments<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span><svg><title>Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#social-preferred-source\" href=\"#social-preferred-source\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"share-bar-preferred-source__label\">Add as preferred source<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea fans called for Liam Rosenior to be sacked throughout the Brighton defeat (Reuters) Tim Sherwood believes Chelsea will sack Liam Rosenior following the 3-0 defeat against Brighton on Tuesday night.
