Liam Rosenior will have very few complaints at his side’s performance as Chelsea booked their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup in resounding style.
The Blues beat Hull 4-0, with Rosenior getting one over on the side who sacked him less than two years ago.
The boss named a strong starting side, and Pedro Neto gave a timely reminder of his quality with a stunning hat-trick.

The only attacker who didn’t contribute to a goal in the starting side was Alejandro Garnacho, after being given another chance following his woeful outing against West Ham.

Joe Hart not impressed by Alejandro Garnacho vs Hull
While Joe Hart was very complimentary of Chelsea’s performance on the road, he did tell TNT Sports that he was a bit disappointed with the Argentine’s display.
He said: “I think Garnacho was the only one who didn’t quite shine tonight, but I think other than that, Liam Delap, we talked about he would have loved his goal, but three assists, a top night for him.”
Garnacho was the recipient of mass boos from the Hull fans, something which has become a common theme for the winger away from home this season.
Jamie Gittens‘ long-term injury woes should hand the former Manchester United man more opportunities, however he is going to have to perform better to remain a mainstay in Rosenior’s side.
Are you convinced by Rosenior yet, Chelsea fans?
His start is almost as good as Jose's!
Concerns about Alejandro Garnacho
Chelsea knew the risks they were taking by signing Garnacho, and there have certainly been criticisms of his time at the club so far.
Micah Richards questioned Garnacho’s consistency, and the emergence of a new young star could put doubts over his minutes in the coming weeks.
Jesse Derry impressed in a brief cameo as he made his debut against Hull on Friday night, and will no doubt remain firmly in the mind of Rosenior going forwards.
