Chelsea boss, Liam Rosenior, has criticised his players following their 3-0 defeat at Brighton on Tuesday night, saying their poor attitude and lack of determination cost them the Premier League game.
He made his feelings known at his post-match briefing after the encounter at the American Express Stadium.
Ferdi Kadioglu, Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck all scored for the Seagulls as they leapfrogged the Blues into sixth place.
With this latest loss to Brighton, the Blues have now lost five consecutive league fixtures.

Speaking after the match, Rosenior said he could not defend the attitude and spirit the players showed on the night.
He noted that the team put up a much better performance in their last match against Manchester United, despite losing the game.
“We need to look in the mirror. I need to look in the mirror,” Rosenior said. “But I can’t keep coming out here and defending some of the things that we’re seeing.”
He added: “Manchester United—genuinely the result wasn’t there, but I felt we turned a corner.
“But the general attitude and spirit was lacking; determination from three or four of the starting eleven. That’s nowhere near enough for this club. I can’t come out and lie. I tell the truth. That was an unacceptable performance at every level.”
