Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has apparently held a team meeting with his players after their collapse against Leeds United.
He found his side 2-0 up and cruising it against the relegation battling side on Tuesday evening, only to throw it away and draw the game 2-2 come the end.

There was mistakes at the back with Moises Caicedo gifting Leeds a penalty to grab one goal back, and then the visitors starting to believe even more and went all out to try and get that second goal and a share of the points.
Chelsea were then awful at the back as between them all, they couldn’t clear a ball that was just hovering around and eventually sat at the feet of a Leeds player to score an open goal to make it 2-2.
Rosenior was clearly unhappy with this, and he called a meeting with his players in response to it.

According to The Daily Mail reporter Kieran Gill, Rosenior wants Chelsea’s players to quit their habit of switching off in matches. He called a squad meeting at their Cobham base which included watching back clips from the Leeds collapse.

the main transfer sources are saying that’s unlikely. We certainly don’t see the reported £80m price as realistic – although if it was, Chelsea would have a hard time saying no to such a profit.
