Rogers reflects on Chelsea's defeat

"We are disappointed. We came here with a job to try to win, and we didn't manage that, so of course the players and the boys are disappointed. But it's a long season, and it's a tough place to come," Rogers said, as cited by Tribuna

The attacker felt Chelsea's overall display was not without merit, pointing to spells of good football and defensive solidity throughout the contest.

"I think we gave a good account of ourselves. We played well in large parts of the game, created chances and defended well when we had to," he added.

Rogers also offered credit to the hosts, acknowledging Arsenal's current confidence and momentum.

"Of course, it's tough, and they're in a really good moment right now and feeling really good," he said.

Chelsea still adapting to new manager

Despite the defeat, Rogers remained measured and forward-looking in his assessment of where Chelsea stand as a group.

He was firm in his belief that the squad's collective ability is not in question, with the emphasis now falling on hard work in training rather than any lack of talent.
