The performance of some of Chelsea’s players in recent weeks has been utterly disgraceful as they downed tools to get Liam Rosenior sacked.
In his first press conference since replacing Rosenior and taking up a role as caretaker for the rest of the season, Calum McFarlane defty dodged questions about whether he thought that squad had stopped playing for their last manager, particularly in their shocking display against Brighton on Tuesday.
McFarlane dodges awkward questions about his squad
“Yeah, the performance wasn’t good enough. Everyone associated with the club knows that, the players know that,” McFarlane admitted.

“I thought Brighton were very good on the night. I don’t think they’ve got enough credit. I think they’re in a really good place. They’re a really good side with a really good manager. Our performance wasn’t good enough and we’re going to address that on Sunday and make sure that we perform to our level.”
McFarlane was pushed further, asked if it was then a “fair assumption” that the players weren’t playing for their manager.
“Who’s to say? That’s not something I’ll comment on.”
We never expected him to, in reality. We all know what we’ve seen in the last few weeks, we don’t need him to confirm it.
