Liam Rosenior reacts to Paul Merson's heavy criticism of Chelsea after they were knocked out the Carabao Cup by Arsenal.
-TIMESTAMPS-
00:00 - Intro.
00:10 - I have to give the players so much credit.
00:50 - Pedro and Reece too much pain from knocks. Estevao, to go through something so personal then fly back says everything about the spirit. Palmer is a gem, he came on and his moments were top.
02:04 - I'm extremely disappointed when we lose. There were aspects I'm happy with but you can see how devastated the players are. hurting but need to move on.
02:52 - Game plan: you saw it. You can come away from home, press high and be 2-0 up or down. Estevao and palmer on and we had moments. Their goal came when we threw the kitchen sink at it.
03:41 - availability of players always effects your system. The players showed they can adapt.
04:28 - First leg we had a virus, I'd been there four days.
05:10 - Criticism: I've been a pundit. It's easy in hindsight. If we go high and concede early then what am I doing. Fine margins.
05:48 - Getting the foot in your team: you can see it, that's why you asked it. Now time to see what happens after a setback.
