Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior’s reaction will be interesting after his Blues slipped to a second-straight defeat, a rare home setback to Newcastle United.
Rosenior’s overseen consecutive losses for his first time in charge of Chelsea, this loss joining a midweek loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of a UEFA Champions League last 16 tie.

The Blues were flustered by a new-look Newcastle midfield. The Magpies had a very active group without a traditional defensive midfielder and so organization was the key to limiting Chelsea’s danger.
And Anthony Gordon punished the Blues on a first-half counterattack to make sure the Magpies had further impetus to simply deny Chelsea chances.
So how did Rosenior see it? The boss looked upset with Newcastle’s second half pace but also had to be dismayed by the lack of solutions in their final third.
We’ll share all of Liam Rosenior’s words as soon as he speaks from Stamford Bridge.
