“We didn’t create” – Rosenior favourite calls out team’s big weakness against Arsenal

Chelsea met with defeat against an all conquering Arsenal team last night, but one of their key players isn’t letting himself get disheartened.

The big picture is still good for new manager Liam Rosenior, and that means it’s still good for Andrey Santos, who is basically something of a protege for the young coach. Speaking after the game, Santos had some interesting thoughts on how things had gone, and where the Blues go from here.

“We’re not happy with the result. We came here to reach the final, so we’re disappointed,” Santos said in quotes picked up by the club’s official website.

“It’s frustrating because we didn’t create as much as we hoped, but we have to move forward and keep going because we have a big game on Saturday, Wolves away. So it is hard, but we have to respond,” Santos continued.

“I know the manager already, I worked with him at Strasbourg. Of course, there is time to adapt but you can see with our other results that everyone is working hard for the coach and we have to keep going.”

Of course Santos tries to talk up the challenge of playing Wolves – but let’s face it, they’re bottom, and this is an easy a fixture as you could hope for.

Rosenior’s start as Chelsea manager came against Arsenal, and last night he got a second crack at them. While the outcome was the same, he insisted he saw a lot of things that had improved in his team between the performances.

The manager was also asked about the status of some of his players. Reece James and Pedro Neto were left out, and the story Rosenior gave contradicted those briefings given to the media earlier about the pair.
