The initial optimism surrounding Liam Rosenior’s appointment is fading rapidly, leaving the Chelsea board in a delicate position. They remain committed to their new head coach for now, but privately admit that results must improve quickly to avoid another collapse.
That is now three defeats on the trot for Liam Rosenior and another competition in the gutter.
Of course, overcoming a three-goal deficit was always going to be a tough ask against the defending Champions League winners, but to lose 3-0 at Stamford Bridge was very poor.
Part of the blame has to go on the players, who continue to make stupid mistakes that let down Rosenior and force the Blues into positions they just cannot get out of.
Ultimately, it’s Rosenior who takes the flak for performances like this, but the Chelsea board are in no rush to make a decision on his future any time soon.
Do you think Chelsea should sack Liam Rosenior? Or are you willing to give him more time?🤔

Chelsea’s stance on Liam Rosenior’s future
According to FlashScore, pressure is also mounting on head coach Liam Rosenior.
Despite being just over two months into his tenure, he is already facing criticism from sections of the fanbase.
However, at this stage, sources remain adamant that his job is not under threat – but Chelsea need a shake-up… quickly.
A top-five position is now simply a must. Anything other than Champions League football would be disastrous for the club and would inevitably signal the end of the Englishman’s time at the club.
Chelsea’s upcoming Premier League fixtures
Chelsea’s quest for a top-five finish enters a season-defining stretch as Liam Rosenior faces some difficult sides with a depleted squad. Currently sitting in sixth place, just one point behind Liverpool, the Blues travel to Everton this Saturday for a tough clash at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The April schedule begins with an FA Cup quarter-final against Port Vale, followed by back-to-back home fixtures against Manchester City and Manchester United. These two games at Stamford Bridge will likely dictate whether Chelsea can bridge the three-point gap to fourth-place Aston Villa.
The final run-in remains grueling, featuring an away trip to Brighton and a massive penultimate-day home game against Tottenham Hotspur. With only eight Premier League matches remaining, Rosenior has no room for further tactical experiments. It’s now or never.
