00:00In this one.
00:00OK, guys.
00:01Yes, please.
00:03Afternoon.
00:04Afternoon.
00:22OK, who wants to get this underway?
00:24Nizar?
00:25I'm sorry to ask, but it looked quite low after the match with the players.
00:29It looked really devastating.
00:31Obviously, Champions League football has slipped away.
00:33You can't finish fifth now.
00:35How is the feeling in the dressing room?
00:37Yeah, really disappointed with the performance, disappointed with the result.
00:43Irrelevant of that.
00:44I don't think we ever got to our level today that we know we're capable of.
00:47So, yeah, naturally very disappointing.
00:49Do you think these players that are used to playing Champions League football
00:51and that want to play Champions League football
00:53and have that same level of motivation for qualifying for the Europa League or Conference League?
00:59Yeah, I know the group.
01:00I've known them for a little while now and they are driven.
01:04They want what's best for themselves.
01:05They want what's best for this club.
01:07And we're going to do everything we can to try and win every single game we can
01:11from now to the end of the season.
01:12Tom?
01:13Alan, I think we've seen the update on Jesse Darien potentially is OK,
01:17which is good news.
01:18But I wanted to ask you about your reflections on his performance as well,
01:21because it was a big stage going to be playing.
01:23How did you think he did?
01:24I think there are more important things than that right now.
01:28We're hearing positive signs from Jesse and Rob,
01:30and I hope the Nottingham Forest players are OK as well.
01:35But yeah, I'm pleased for Jesse's performance.
01:37I thought he performed well while I was on the pitch,
01:38but there's probably more important things to think about right now.
01:41Peter?
01:42Hey, Callum.
01:43Peter Pereira has been in a piece of,
01:45because obviously they had a lot of absences and a lot of changes.
01:47It was more about spirit than tactical.
01:50I was wondering what you made it.
01:53Yeah, I thought the first 15 minutes,
01:55we were nowhere near the level we needed to be.
01:57I thought the early goal was a bit of a sucker punch,
02:01and we didn't seem to really recover from that moment.
02:04It was a 3v1 at the back post.
02:06We know that they like to cross to the back post.
02:09We know that the nine likes to peel to the back post,
02:11and we should defend that moment better.
02:13It's really disappointing.
02:14I thought we defended that moment really well at Leeds at Wembley,
02:17and I just don't think we recovered from that moment well enough.
02:21When we did recover and we had moments, Enzo hits the post,
02:24Cole misses a penalty, jails offside goal.
02:26When you start that badly, you need those moments to go your way
02:29to give you a chance to fight back into the game,
02:31but ultimately the first 15 minutes was not acceptable.
02:35Jack, please.
02:36Hi, Callum.
02:37Given that Forest did make eight changes,
02:40and obviously they're in a relegation fight,
02:42how can you explain the performance level for Chelsea today?
02:46Yeah, like I said previously, I think the first 15 minutes was unacceptable.
02:50The manner in which the two goals were conceded has really set us back,
02:54and it gave ourselves a mountain to climb.
02:56You can't do that at this level,
02:59especially against a team that's fighting for their life.
03:01So that was pretty much, for me, something that we need to address and improve.
03:06Matt?
03:07Callum, it's six, I know you win in the semi-final,
03:10but in the league it's six straight defeats,
03:13it's four straight defeats at home in the league as well.
03:16I mean, how far off acceptable is that?
03:19Why does it keep happening?
03:20Because, you know, Liam used to say that there are a good group of players,
03:23they are trying, it's not an attitude thing.
03:26You've said similar.
03:27And yet the same thing just keeps happening results-wise and performance-wise.
03:33Yes, it's a ruthless game, it's a really high level.
03:36You cannot start games the way we did in the Premier League against a team of Forest's quality.
03:41So all we can focus on right now and all I can focus on right now is
03:46we're in tomorrow, we're training tomorrow.
03:48We'll review the game, we'll try and find the reason why
03:51and try and make sure that the performance level is of a higher level
03:54against Liverpool in five days' time.
03:56I'm not looking at the bigger picture, the why.
03:58It's about right now and attacking the moment right now.
04:02Can I just check on Garnett Trump?
04:03Because they weren't in response or were they injured?
04:05They took Knox, yeah. Knox in training yesterday.
04:09OK, we'll leave it there, guys. Thanks very much.
