"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."
"That's Rob's first game with me, I've had two days' work with him. I have to put my imprint on the team. That's why I'm here. I don't want to do that to the detriment of the results, but I need to make sure we win now, but we keep improving for where we want to get to this season. It's a very fine margin."
Liam Rosenior accepted accountability for goalkeeper Robert Sanchez's mistakes after Chelsea lost 3-2 to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg. Sanchez failed to claim a Declan Rice corner that led to Ben White's opener, and then spilled White's cross for Viktor Gyokeres to score, while Martin Zubimendi also scored. Rosenior revealed the squad had been hit by illness and that he has had only two days' work with Sanchez while imposing new tactical demands. Rosenior highlighted a world-class save by Sanchez, pledged to protect and develop his players, and expects long-term improvement while seeking immediate results.
