Liam Rosenior said it is his job to make sure Chelsea’s season is not derailed after they were beaten 3-0 by Paris St Germain at Stamford Bridge to exit the Champions League 8-2 on aggregate.The result marked a heaviest-ever two-legged defeat for the Blues in Europe and just like in the first leg at the Parc des Princes, it was individual mistakes which were their undoing.Mamadou Sarr, brought in for his debut in the competition with Reece James and Malo Gusto ruled out, made a horrible error to gift Khvicha Kvaratskhelia a goal after six minutes and things only got worse from there.

00:00Six minutes in and another mistake that we make, it takes the wind out of our sails
00:06and then I think the second goal he's hit from 25 yards in the top corner
00:10and when you go two goals down so early and five goals down on aggregate
00:15it's a really, really difficult, difficult evening.
00:18We wanted to obviously put up more of a fight than what we did.
00:22Credit to PSG, their possession play was really, really top in the game
00:26and over the two legs they deserved to go through.
00:29That's my job. How I go about that is how we always go about it.
00:33We need to be resilient, we need to make sure we go to Everton with an organisation
00:37with a freshness and intensity in our team because we want to be in this competition next season
00:43and if we perform how I know we can, we can get there without the individual mistakes that we're making
00:50at the moment.
00:51You're seeing with players that if I don't manage their minutes, their likelihood of getting injured is increased very highly.
00:58So I want us to make sure we're in this competition next season as a minimum.
01:02We're still fighting for an FA Cup, but I have to make maybe really difficult decisions
01:07that at the time probably don't look great, to be honest.
01:13You never want to take off your best players when you're five goals down in a tie,
01:18but I want to make the right decisions for the football club in a long time as well.
01:21You never want to take off your best players.
