Petr Cech has identified the primary hurdle to Chelsea’s consistency, but believes Liam Rosenior has finally provided the platform the squad needs to thrive.
Despite the positive start that Liam Rosenior has made at Stamford Bridge, there are clear improvements to be had after dropping a number of points in quick succession.
Rosenior took a serious tone with his Chelsea players after the Burnley draw for probably the first time this season, so it’ll be interesting to see the reaction.
When Petr Cech talks, people tend to listen and he’s got it spot on about Chelsea‘s current situation.
And he has some valuable information that the owners need to listen to.

Petr Cech puts Chelsea’s struggles down to a young squad
The Chelsea goalkeeper featured on Discover Plus’ Premier League review show, where he spoke open and honestly about why the Blues have been struggling of late.
“They had a couple of games where they are not consistent, but I think it’s the lack of experience in the team. You know, it’s a young team and an ever-changing team and a lot of players and changes.
“So, you know, it’s sometimes hard to be consistent, but with the manager now, I think they have a good platform and they are doing steadily well.”
This is a common theme. Even Axel Disasi stated Thiago Silva’s departure and the lack of experience at Chelsea as a big turning point, but the owners still refuse to listen.

The Chelsea owners need to change their policy this summer
There have been conflicting reports ahead of the summer. One source suggests that Chelsea will be more open-minded about experience, whereas another says they have full faith in youth.
Chelsea’s current youth-first recruitment strategy has left Liam Rosenior managing the youngest squad in the Premier League, but recent results suggest this lack of experience is costing them dearly. While the talent is undeniable, the team has dropped 19 points from winning positions this season.
By failing to balance younger players with battle-hardened veterans, Chelsea lacks the steady leadership required to turn dominant performances into consistent results.
It’s vitally important that the team pivots.
