In football, running and working hard by covering full length of the pitch are very important. Even the best players need to move quickly and support their teammates.

They were knocked out with a heavy score, which made fans very upset. After that, Chelsea lost again to Everton 3-0 in the Premier League. These results have pushed the team down the table. Now they are fighting just to stay in the race for the top spots.
The manager, Liam Rosenior, is under pressure. He joined the club not long after Enzo Maresca left. Before coming to Chelsea, Rosenior did well at RC Strasbourg. But managing a big club like Chelsea is much harder. Here is a comparison how this manager Chelsea perform Enzo Maresca from Jun 2024 to Jan 2026 he has won 55, 16 draws and lost 21 games with win percentage 60% and 2 points per game. In other hand Liam Rosenior has won 10 games, 2 draws and 7 lost games with win percentage of 53 and 1.7 points per game.

Author’s opinion
Right now, Chelsea FC are going through a tough period. The club still trusts Liam Rosenior and wants to give him time to shape the team properly. They understand that building something strong takes patience it’s not something that happens overnight. But football can change very quickly. If results don’t improve soon, the pressure will only increase.
