More success came Liam Rosenior’s way on Friday night as Chelsea went to his old club and cruised to a 4-0 win in The FA Cup, largely thanks to a Pedro Neto hat-trick.
After failing to beat Leeds United last time out, Rosenior made seven changes to his side and watched on as Chelsea were rampant in the fourth round of The FA Cup. An eighth win in just 11 games for Rosenior.
While Rosenior could not mastermind a shock two-legged victory over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, and while he had to settle for a point against Leeds, Rosenior has managed to restore the feel-good factor.
Are you convinced by Rosenior yet, Chelsea fans?
His start is almost as good as Jose's!
Confidence is high again at Chelsea as the Blues enter the business end of the season, with Rosenior’s men still fighting on three fronts and looking good. But Friday saw Rosenior better any other Blues boss.
No other Chelsea manager has scored as many goals at this stage
After 11 games in charge, Rosenior has watched his Chelsea side find the back of the net a whopping 28 times. Of course, that has been helped by facing Championship opposition on two occasions so far.

Nine goals came Chelsea’s way in games against Charlton and Hull. But the Blues have looked potent in front of goal under Rosenior, netting three against Palace, Wolves, West Ham and Antonio Conte’s Napoli.
Indeed, after 11 games, no other Chelsea manager has watched their side score as many goals as the current Chelsea gaffer. Carlo Ancelotti is the closest in second, with Chelsea scoring 26 in his first 11.
Liam Rosenior has got his Chelsea side scoring from everywhere
It is not as if Rosenior is watching two or three Chelsea players get all the goals. Of course, Joao Pedro already has six under the Englishman while Cole Palmer has scored five, four of which were penalties.

But Jorrel Hato, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu and Moises Caicedo all have one each. Enzo Fernandez is scoring goals from midfield with a total of four goals under Rosenior and Neto also has four, now.
Even Estevao and Alejandro Garnacho have chipped in with two each. Rotation is not affecting the goal threat and that is a credit to Rosenior’s management, giving players confidence even if they don’t start.
