According to Sky Sports, the world champions have now lost five consecutive Premier League matches without scoring for the first time since 1912.
Brighton leapfrogged Chelsea into seventh place and by the end of the midweek games, the Blues could be as low as 12th on the Premier League table.
Rosenior only took over after Enzo Maresca’s departure in January, but fans have called on the club’s hierarchy to show the English manager the exit door.
Rosenior reacts to Chelsea’s loss
Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior came to the press conference with fire and fury and slammed his players for an indefensible performance.
The manager openly confirmed that he had lost the dressing room and promised that something will change drastically in the team going forward.
“I have my own ideas, I am not here to make excuses. That was unacceptable from everyone involved with me at the head of it. That needs to change,” he told BBC Sport.
“It is accountability. I have defended the players at times when it was the correct thing, but I can't defend that performance. It doesn't represent this football club, it doesn't represent anything I ask from the group and that has to change.”
The manager expressed gross disappointment with the performance and confirmed that it will have consequences for the players going forward.
“I will look at the team, will look at individuals, and I will look at a team I can trust to do the basics of football, and we should not be talking about the basics of football at this level. It is something we have to adjust very quickly,” he added.

“Tonight was not tactical. This was about desire, spirit, and courage, and I did not see enough of that tonight. Nowhere near good enough, and we have to improve that.”
Next for the Blues is the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday against Leeds United, and many fans have lost confidence in the team to win.
Many fans suggested that the club’s hierarchy should take drastic action against the manager before the match and salvage their chance of a silverware.
