LONDON, April 22 (Reuters) - Managers are usually ⁠reluctant to eviscerate their players in public so Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior's stinging rebuke to his team after ⁠Tuesday's humbling 3-0 defeat at Brighton and Hove Albion smacked of the words of a man at the ‌end of his tether.

An encouraging start to Rosenior's reign after he replaced Enzo Maresca in January has descended into one of the worst sequence of results in the London club's history.
