Liam Rosenior admits only three of his Chelsea players \u2018gave everything\u2019 during their 3-0 defeat to Brighton on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have now lost five league games without scoring a goal for the first time since 1912 as they sank to a deserved defeat away to Brighton at the Amex Stadium.<\/p>\n

Goals from Ferdi Kadioglu, Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck sealed the win for Brighton, who leapfrog Chelsea into sixth place in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Chelsea, meanwhile, failed to register a shot on target, while supporters called for Rosenior\u2019s sacking in the second half.<\/p>\n

\u2018For the fans, honestly, apologise, that\u2019s unacceptable,\u2019 Rosenior told Chelsea TV after the game.<\/p>\n

\u2018I will defend the players when they deserve to be defended. Three or four of them gave everything, I\u2019m not going to name names but three or four is not good enough.<\/p>\n

\u2018I have my own ideas about what needs to happen at this club moving forward. All I can do at the moment is apologise to the fans for what we put in today.\u2019<\/p>\n

In his post-match press conference, Rosenior was also asked about Chelsea\u2019s supporters calling for his sacking at the Amex Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think for the supporters, I understand. I understand their frustration,\u2019 Rosenior said.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s my job as the head coach and the manager of the football club. The buck stops with me. I have thick skin and I understand why the fans are frustrated. I\u2019m frustrated with the performances we\u2019re putting in.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve just got to keep working hard with the staff, with the players but what I do need to do is really look at how we go about games, the personnel of the team, who I can trust and rely on in difficult moments, because not enough players showed that today in the game.\u2019<\/p>\n

Asked if he is taking a risk with his criticism of his own players, Rosenior replied: \u2018I\u2019ve always said I will be honest, and I\u2019ve been honest with the players. I\u2019m honest with you, as honest as I can.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m not throwing anyone under the bus. That was an unacceptable performance. And I\u2019m at the head of that.<\/p>\n

\u2018So for me to come out here, we\u2019re playing for Chelsea. I\u2019m managing Chelsea. The criticism and pressure comes with the football club. So if you can\u2019t handle that, then you shouldn\u2019t be here. It\u2019s as simple as that.<\/p>\n

\u2018And that\u2019s something that needs to be addressed this week. But it also needs to be addressed in the long term. It needs to be addressed.\u2019<\/p>\n
