Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior called Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Everton 'the most disappointing evening so far' as his team suffered their fourth consecutive loss. The Toffees moved within two points of Chelsea through goals from Beto and Iliman Ndiaye, with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez culpable for Beto's second goal after an earlier mistake. The result kept Chelsea sixth in the Premier League, missing a chance to break into the top four.

This latest setback comes just four days after Chelsea's 8-2 aggregate Champions League exit to PSG, compounding the pressure on Rosenior. The manager admitted he's still learning about his 'massive club' while defending his players' effort and belief. 'We've had 10 games in the league together as a group. We've got 17 points. I think we're fourth in my time,' Rosenior told Sky Sports, urging his team to 'forget the noise' and maintain composure.

The defeat raises serious questions about Chelsea's form and fitness, with Rosenior suggesting the summer Club World Cup and congested fixture schedule may be taking its toll. 'If you're a logical thinking person and you look at the workload and the amount of games that the players have played, I think it's a pretty simple conclusion to come to,' he said, while refusing to make excuses for a performance he described as 'not good enough.'
