Chelsea fans are pointing the finger at Filip Jorgensen following their side’s 5-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, and rightly so.
Liam Rosenior’s men had everything under control until a poor pass from the goalkeeper presented PSG with an opportunity, which they went on to take.
Chelsea never recovered and now face an impossible task coming back in the second leg at Stamford Bridge. However, Jorgensen is not the only one who deserves blame.
What should Liam Rosenior’s next move be?🤔

Wesley Fofana had night to forget against PSG
Wesley Fofana was just as bad as Jorgensen, failing to win a single tackle on the night, according to Sofascore.
The central defender was dribbled past once, but it felt like he was beaten more often than that. One-on-one, he did not look convincing at all and was buried by Ousmane Dembele before his goal.
Chelsea’s back four as a whole struggled, with the defensive line being extremely high at times. PSG saw space and absolutely exploited it.

Jorgensen and Fofana deserve criticism for their roles in the defeat, but Rosenior’s tactics and substitutions should also be questioned.
Taking off Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro, the team’s two best attackers, towards the end of the game got rid of all of Chelsea’s threat.
Fernandez, who has been linked to PSG, was at least one positive. But Chelsea fans will be disappointed with Jorgensen, Fofana and Rosenior.
