Calum McFarlane:
“It is not my place to what has gone wrong or right. My full focus is on Leeds and how we will prepare.”
“I didn’t say I don’t know what they are, I said I wouldn’t discuss them today.”
“We haven’t had a clear the air meeting [with the players]. We have the group focused and how we will approach the game. It is really important that we have a real focus on Sunday.”
“We definitely need to improve the performance. The performance against Brighton wasn’t good enough – we know that.”
“We need to make sure we are right in every area for Sunday. We need to be at our best to beat [Leeds].”
“I have spoken to Liam [Rosenior]. I am not sure how that’s been done [his exit]. I spoke to him on the phone on Wednesday. He was good, it was a good conversation. I have a lot of respect. I’m gutted it hasn’t worked out.”
On FA Cup semi-final:
“Everyone is excited – the whole group, the whole club.”
“The players know that. Brighton were very good, they didn’t get enough credit. Our performance wasn’t good enough. We will address that on Sunday and perform at the level we know we are capable of.”
On his biggest challenge:
“Making sure the lads are prepared for the strengths of Leeds and expose the weaknesses. There is still a lot of belief in this group. A lot of talent. Some of them are the best in the world in their positions.”
“I don’t think I will talk tactically today, I will keep that private. We are ready for Sunday.”
“We spoke to the group about the remaining games and what’s still to play for. From my perspective, the whole group is united that we want to win every game until the end of the [season].”
“Of course, they are on the pitch. They are top players that can perform at a high level. That hasn’t happened for whatever reason. They will take responsibility.”
“Estevao, unfortunately, won’t play for us [again] this season. We are here to support him.”
“Joao [Pedro] and Cole [Palmer], they trained and are in a good place. We don’t know yet. We are hopeful [they can start].”
“Leeds and Chelsea is always a big game, there is a rivalry there. For me, it’s a game of football and you try and make it as normal as possible to hopefully get the best performance and result.”
“It is still a whirlwind. No one expected that to happen [Liam Rosenior’s exit]. I’ve worked with the group for three, four months now. I have a better understanding. It’s a very different task [compared to January].”
That’s all from the gaffer for now!
