Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has defended his team\u2019s efforts within the defeat against Brighton despite scathing criticism from their head coach Liam Rosenior.<\/p>\n

The Blues fell to a dismal 3-0 defeat on the AMEX on Tuesday night, their fifth Premier League defeat on the bounce having also didn’t rating in that period. It marks the club\u2019s worst run of results since 1912.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season are fading fast and so they could find themselves in the underside half of the table by the tip of the week should results elsewhere go against them.<\/p>\n

Rosenior has defended his squad throughout a rotten run of results but finally took aim on the group after the \u2018indefensible\u2019 performance against the Seagulls, insisting only \u2018three or 4\u2019 of his players gave the whole lot.<\/p>\n

Brighton players ran seven kilometres greater than their opponents on Tuesday \u2013 the most recent in a woeful trend with Chelsea sat 20th<\/sup> for distance covered per game within the Premier League this season, almost 10k in need of leaders Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Despite those stats and Rosenior\u2019s damning comments, Chalobah saw no issues with the trouble levels from his teammates.<\/p>\n

Asked if Tuesday\u2019s defeat was right down to the gameplan or its execution, Chalobah told Sky Sports: \u2018We tried our greatest, we worked on it throughout the week but we got beat today and we’ve to go again.\u2019<\/p>\n

On Brighton repeatedly beating Chelsea to the punch, he continued: \u2018I personally think the boys were running their socks off.<\/p>\n

\u2018If you happen to look within the dressing room, everyone seems to be drained. It\u2019s nothing to do with effort. We gave it our all. We got beat today.\u2019<\/p>\n

Pushed on stats showing Brighton outran them, Chalobah said: \u2018We ran today. The stats are stats. I can see The boys are drained and we ran.\u2019<\/p>\n

Rosenior is under mounting pressure having only taken the reins at west London in January with players making their discontent known.<\/p>\n

The previous Strasbourg boss suspended Enzo Fernandez for 2 matches for \u2018crossing the road\u2019 with a string of comments that placed his own future on the club unsure. Marc Cucurella avoided similar punishment after commenting Rosenior\u2019s predecessor Enzo Maresca shouldn’t have left the club.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Chelsea boss insists nevertheless his relationship with the squad stays intact. <\/p>\n

\u2018I don\u2019t feel there\u2019s a disconnect between me and the players. We work very closely with them in training, individual meetings, team meetings. We’re giving the whole lot to the players. There’s a scarcity of spirit, lack of belief.\u2019<\/p>\n
