What are the latest updates on Chelsea's performance?
Football on off the ball. Once the fallibility centre sets in, once age starts to catch up with him, once Stephen Hendry's there, Steve Davis rolling back the years is one of the great things in snooker. Just because he was old and, to use John's phrase, had exposed his feet of clay. Join in the obsession. Subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join.

Subject to suitability following pharmacist consultation. The sound of your bet on Liam Rosinha being the manager next, when is it? 2028? Next February. Yeah. What's the bet on the bet? A million to one at this point. That man is a dead man walking when it comes to that gig. So look, their next game is an FA Cup semi-final where they're heavy favourites to go through against Leeds United. You can get 9-5 on leads to go through, by the way. I'm not recommending, you know, stocks can go up as well as down. Past performance is not a reliable indicator.
But this Chelsea team are stuck. Stuck in a moment that they cannot get out of. And there it is. They'd beaten 3-0 last night if you missed it, if you went to bed. And it was still only 1-0 or 2-0. Bono called this a quarter of a century in events. And it is true for Chelsea. I don't think they're favourites against anyone in the Premier League at the moment. They might give Wolves a game. Possibly get a nick a point at Turf Moor. They were actually better against Man United than they were. Yes, they were, and that's why he was so exasperated, Liam Roussini. We can hear from Liam Roussini, can't we? Carl Dill was in the comments yesterday, and I meant to mention it. It was like, ah, people, pure scoreboard journalism.
They hit the frame of the goal alone, and they were way better against Man United. And I checked the XG, and it was like 2.6 to 0.52. It was also ensuring he mentioned that it wasn't us necessarily. Because we are talking about Chelsea. Yeah, we should get into the whole scoreboard journalism sometime.
How are Chelsea fans reacting to Liam Rosenior's management?
I think that sometimes the result actually matters. Sometimes it doesn't. You know, sometimes the result really matters. It certainly matters. The whole point is we play the games to win. It was both results and performance last night, Gerard. And that's why we're going to hear from Liam Rossini so early in this show. Earlier than usual. Take it away, Liam.
In many respects, did that feel like the worst of the lot in terms of the performance?
By far. By far, it was unacceptable. in every aspect of the game, unacceptable in attitude. I keep coming out and defending the players. That's indefensible. That performance tonight, the amount of the goals we conceded, the amount of duels that we lost, the lack of intensity in the team. And yeah, something needs to change drastically here right now.
What have you said to the players? Why do you think they put that performance in?
Why? We need to look in the mirror. I need to look in the mirror, but I can't keep coming out here defending some of the things that we're seeing Manchester United genuinely the result wasn't there felt we turned a corner but the genuine general attitude spirit was lacking determination maybe 3 or 4 out of the 11 that's nowhere near enough for this club that's nowhere near enough I can't come out and lie I'll tell the truth that was an unacceptable performance in every area Brighton ahead of them now on the table Brighton ahead Brighton have won 6th from the last days
They're up to sixth. Chelsea had one shot in that first half in total, which was off target. They had four touches in the Brighton box. And apologies to Fulham for yesterday's comparison. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because I looked at that Chelsea side and it is poor. And I do have players missing Chelsea. I'll grant you that.
What changes need to happen for Chelsea to improve?
They have Cole Palmer absent. There is no Estavao.
Yeah. It could have been 5 or 6 last night. Like 3-0 is pretty flattering for Chelsea.
