"The first goal was disappointing. It's a team goal. It's not just on Rob,"
"I'm asking Rob to do things that he hasn't done before. I said to him before the game, and I made this really clear, when my players make mistakes, I'm accountable. That's on me. He made a save in the second half that was absolutely world-class. That could have put us out of the tie. He will improve in terms of his understanding. He's had a very good season. There were very, very good moments with him. I'll stay positive with him, as I will with all the group. My job is to help them, not to blame them."
"Cole, yes, this game came too early for him. Hopefully, he'll be available to train on Friday and hopefully he'll be ready for us to play on Saturday. But he had a little minor strain in his thigh. If you play a player too early in Jan"
Liam Rosenior accepted responsibility for goalkeeper Robert Sanchez's mistakes following Chelsea's 3-2 EFL Cup semi-final first-leg defeat to Arsenal. Sanchez's errors led directly to goals by Ben White and Viktor Gyokeres, though he also produced a world-class second-half save that might have altered the tie. Rosenior characterized the opening goal as a team failure and committed to helping Sanchez adapt to new demands while remaining positive. Rosenior replaced Enzo Maresca last week and became the seventh consecutive Chelsea manager to fail to win a first home game. Cole Palmer and Reece James missed the match with injuries; Palmer has a thigh strain and is expected to be assessed ahead of the weekend.
