Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior is under even more pressure after the Blues were swatted aside by Brighton 3-0, with Ferdi Kadiglu, Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck piling on the misery

Liam Rosenior has said "something needs to change drastically right now" and called out a number of his Chelsea players following their latest defeat. Chelsea fell 3-0 to Brighton, with any chance of Champions League football looking out of reach as the Blues lost their fifth league game in a row without scoring.

Rosenior was the target of chants from the away side at the Amex Stadium as Chelsea flounder towards the end of the season. Brighton stars Ferdi Kadiglu, Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck cast Chelsea to another defeat as they dominated their opponents on Tuesday night.

It is the club's longest run of Premier League games without a clean sheet in 29 years, and the first time since 1912 that they have lost five successive league games without scoring. Chelsea failed to land a glove on the Seagulls as they did not register a shot on target.

Rosenior said it was the worst defeat of his time in charge of the Blues. "By far," he said. "By far. That was unacceptable in every aspect of the game, unacceptable in attitude"

"It was unacceptable in every aspect," he added. "I keep coming out to defend the players. That was indefensible tonight. Something needs to change drastically right now.

"We need to look in the mirror. I need to look in the mirror. But I can't keep coming out here and defending some of the things that we're seeing.

"Manchester United, genuinely result wasn't there but I felt we turned a corner. But the general attitude, 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."

Speaking following the game, Tim Sherwood said he did not think that Rosenior would survive at Stamford Bridge. "They were outplayed in every way," he said.

"In style, build-p, in possession, out of possession. It was a team playing a bunch of individuals. No spirit, no character. They were watching at the end there going over to the Chelsea fans - half of them had left the stadium 20 minutes ago.

"It's not only your ability, it's your desire to wear the shirt. It was embarrassing the room that Brighton had. Liam Rosenior changed it at half-time but he has to recognise that sooner."Hinshelwood is an academy player who plays in every single position. Full-back, outstanding. Midfield, outstanding. He was No 10 tonight. Three goals is the least Brighton deserved."I don't like saying it: there are demonstrations and flags out against BlueCo. Liam Rosenior will not survive this. He will not, unfortunately for him. It's a real tough job for any manager to survive this environment. Chelsea is a development club."
