Those close to Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior may be fearing for his job right now.
It has been a really bad week for the 41-year-old, with Chelsea crashing out of the Champions League in humiliating style.
They were beaten 3-0 by Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, losing their last-16 tie 8-2 on aggregate. Before that game, the Blues also lost 1-0 to Newcastle United in the Premier League.
Do you think Chelsea should sack Liam Rosenior? Or are you willing to give him more time?🤔

Champions League qualification won’t decide Liam Rosenior’s fate
Chelsea went into this season with Champions League qualification being their No.1 objective.
Currently sitting outside the top five in the Premier League table, it is something that Rosenior’s men may not accomplish.
If that happens, there may not be any need for Rosenior to actually panic. According to The Sun, Chelsea bosses will not decide the Englishman’s fate on whether the team qualifies for Europe’s elite competition or not.

Right now, the Club World Cup winners missing out on Champions League football looks like a real possibility. They have some hard games coming up, starting with a trip to Everton.
Everton tried to sign Liam Delap last summer, and with how things have gone for him at Chelsea, he probably wishes that he had joined the Toffees.
If Chelsea were to miss out on Champions League qualification and sack Rosenior as a result, the former Strasbourg man cannot have too many complaints.
Under him, Chelsea really should have beaten the likes of Leeds United and Burnley, for example. Instead, they went on to draw both games after being in leading positions.
Those extra four points could have made a huge difference come May. A lot of the blame would also have to be directed at the sporting directors.
After spending £285m last summer, Chelsea’s squad is so unbalanced in more ways than one. With that being said, it is still good enough to finish above Aston Villa and Manchester United and in the top five.
