🚨 Liam Rosenior:

"I would love to be here for six years and longer. In order for that to happen I need to win. It's as simple as that.

"I've got ideas of what I want the team to look like in a year or two or three years time. But I think I have got enough resources and tools with me now to win. I've made that clear to the players.

"Every session that I take, every meeting that I take, every game that we play is the most important thing. I'm not making it [Arsenal tie] any bigger than the fact it's the next game - and we have to win."

🗣️ Liam Rosenior on Chelsea’s 3-2 defeat against Arsenal [H] in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg:

🤝 “I was proud of the bravery of the players to try to execute certain aspects of what I’ve asked.

“I’ve been in for six days and we’ve had two matches [in that time]. I’m not asking for time because I think the group is good enough to win now, but I need to put my stamp on the team as well. Otherwise, there’s no point me being here.

“I want us to be high tempo, I want us to be front foot, I want us to control and dominate games.

“We created chances today from transition, but we also created chances from build and possession moments today, which is really pleasing against a very good team defensively.

“I’m very encouraged by a lot of things I saw today. I’m not happy to lose any game, but in terms of a building block for Saturday, there are a lot of things I can show the players that they can keep improving.”

🚨 Garnacho:

"Every attacker wants to score goals, but my job is to try and help the team. I tried today, and it wasn’t enough, but it’s not over yet. The game is open, there’s just one goal difference."

"We know how hard it is to play at the Emirates, but we know the team we have, and we know what we can do. We have to go there and give everything."

Garnacho on Liam Rosenior:

"He’s a good guy."

"He’s changed some things, but we are still the same team and the same group. We are all together."

"We always try to win the games, and it’s frustrating when you don’t win the game. We started a little bit slowly, but in the second half we were much better. We now have to try everything in the second leg."
