Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke admits there was a lot of halftime demands after their 4-1 thrashing by Chelsea.
Benteke explained that Crystal Palace were told to be braver in the second-half of their defeat against Chelsea, saying Roy Hodgson and Ray Lewington's instruction led to a better performance but that Palace "did not do [their] job."
Speaking with Palace TV post-match, the frontman said: "I think we gave them too much respect. When we play this kind of team we have to be front foot, we have to be a little bit up. I think by being so deep against these kind of players, the game became easier for them.
"In the dressing room, Ray and the manager said we have to be more brave, we have to be coming back with more character. I think that's the - if I can take positives today - the second-half, obviously it's 4-1, but they scored one goal, we scored one goal and we showed a little bit more resilience, a little bit more character."
