Paul Merson has given his latest column on Chelsea’s recent struggles after three straight defeats; Liam Rosenior has been criticised on and off the pitch amid this run.
Paul Merson says Liam Rosenior needs to stop saying things like “respect the ball” and giving players notes when they are 8-2 down – with Chelsea up against it to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Three straight defeats – twice to Paris Saint-Germain either side of a Premier League loss to Newcastle – leaves the Blues with just Champions League qualification and the FA Cup to play for this season.
All the while, Rosenior has been criticised for saying his Chelsea team “respect the ball” amid their huddle over the centre circle – which encircled referee Paul Tierney in bizarre scenes.
The Chelsea boss was also mocked for giving substitute Alejandro Garnacho a piece of paper with tactical instructions – when they were six goals down with a few minutes left in their Champions League defeat to PSG.
