Chelsea continued their good run of form in the Premier League to go within touching distance of the top three places with a 3-1 win over Wolves. Despite that, their manager Liam Rosenior, expressed some frustrations over the performance and had some areas of improvement he wants to focus on going forward.
Liam Rosenior Expresses Frustration Over Wolves Clash
What Did the Coach Have to Say?
In an interview after the match, he was quoted as saying “it was very frustrating to concede…” and that he has yet to see his squad have a strong performance across 90 minutes. In this he references the 3-2 win over Napoli, Crystal Palace’s late equaliser, and the come-from-behind win against West Ham.

The sentiment “I want us to have a perfect 90….” was expressed by Rosenior as he continues to implement his ideas into the squad following his appointment last month. This will be a positive note for fans who have been upset by some of the inconsistencies and the tendency for the players to switch off or tail off as a match progresses.
A Tail of Two Halves
The clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers was perhaps the biggest case yet of what the manager was talking about. In the first half Cole Palmer notched a hat trick in a dominant display that saw the Blues control the ball and carve their opponents to pieces throughout the 45.

The second half was an entirely different story with a significant drop off in levels from the team. They allowed the bottom dwellers to get away nine shots in that half compared to their four and even gave a goal away. Inconsistency is becoming a habit for Chelsea who have had to have some late surges this term to get results, if they can’t put it all together for 90 minutes they’ll inevitably go back to dropping silly points.
