How is the recent loss of Chelsea against PSG by 8-2 in the Champions League going to affect Chelseain the long run at the moment? This is definitely going to affect them a lot in the long run too and there is no doubt about it either.
Horrendous loss:
Chelsea lost the match yet again horrendously against Paris Saint Germain. The team did not perform well at all. Chelsea did not even look like they were trying to win against PSG either. It literally seemed like they gave up to be honest. Losing 8-2 on aggregate has been a very bad scoreline for Chelsea. I think that in the first match after they lost, they gave up in the next one to be honest. 5-2 is already a bad scoreline enough. At the same time, Chelsea also tried every single tactic possible too. Nothing worked either. This is the reason why it is time that changes are made to be honest. Liam Rosenior’s same game plan does not work at all.
Yeah, it has to. That’s my job. How I go about that is how we always go about it. We need to be resilient. We need to make sure we go to Everton with an organisation, with a freshness and intensity in our team because we want to be in this competition next season. And if we perform how I know we can, we can get there without the individual mistakes that we’re making at the moment. I think it’s not just an admission. It’s a reality of where the group are.
How is the loss going to affect Chelsea?
Rosenior words They’ve played over 100 games in 18 months. They’ve had no break in terms of the international games, the travelling that, say, Joao Pedro or Enzo Fernandez or Moises Caicedo do to South America. It’s not an excuse. This is a by-product of success of the Club World Cup and it’s a great thing that the club achieved at the Club World Cup. You’re seeing with Reece [James], you’re seeing with players, that if I don’t manage their minutes, their likelihood of getting injured is increased very highly. So I want us to make sure we’re in this competition next season as a minimum.
We’re still fighting for an FA Cup, but I have to make maybe really difficult decisions that at the time probably don’t look great, to be honest. You never want to take off your best players when you’re five goals down in a tie, but I want to make the right decisions for thefootballclub in the long term as well. For sure. This is football. Excuse me, I lost my voice shouting. Not at the players after the game but during the game.
Rosenior words:
This is football. Moments can change the flow of things. Two and a quarter games ago, we were away in Paris or coming off the back of Aston Villa, a very good performance. 2-2 in the game, but we don’t take care of the moments, we switch off. What I have to do is make sure that we get that back on track and that comes from not making mistakes or errors. That’s something that me and my staff have already spoken about now, but that’s something that I will speak about tomorrow and make sure that we go into the Everton game in a really positive frame of mind.
