Chelsea interim boss Calum McFarlane reveals he has spoken to Liam Rosenior since his sacking and gives the latest on the fitness of Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro ahead of the FA Cup semi final against Leeds at Wembley on Sunday. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:01 What’s gone wrong at Chelsea? It's not my place to say what's gone wrong. My full focus is on Leeds, we've got a massive game on Sunday. All I'm thinking about is preparing for that game. 0:18 What’s gone wrong? I'm not going to discuss that today. My full focus is on Leeds United. 0:38 What have you said to the players? We haven't had a clear-the-air meeting. We've got the group focused on Sunday. It's really important we have a real focus for the game on Sunday. 1:27 We definitely need to improve the performance, it wasn't good enough vs Brighton, we know that. We need to figure out the reasons why and make sure the group are in a better place for Sunday. 2:32 Spoken to Rosenior? Yeah, I've spoken to Liam. I spoke to him on the phone on Wednesday. He was good. It was a good conversation, I've got a lot of respect for Liam.  3:05 I haven't coached at Wembley. I've been there with Southampton when I was there and we got to the playoff final. 3:29 Everyone's excited, the whole group, the whole club - it's why we do the job we do. 3:55 More on Brighton? The performance wasn't good enough. Everyone associated with the club knows that. Brighton were very good and they didn't get enough credit, but our performance wasn't good enough. 4:27 Players not playing for Rosenior? Who's to say? It's not anything I will comment on. 5:10 I have a really good relationship with the players. Our process will be the same as the last time I was an interim. 5:29 I don't think I'm going to talk tactically today. I'll keep that private but we're ready for Sunday. 5:47 We've spoken to the group about the remaining games and what's still to play for. Everyone is united. We want to win every game from now until the end of the season. 6:30 Players have to take responsibility?
