Kieran Gill: Rosenior went to clap the Matthew Harding stand but the feeling was not mutual. He was met with Boos, shouts telling him where to go and v-signs.

    It feels like he has zero control or stamp on what’s happening. He looks like he’s super stressed and about to cry on the sidelines. Basically, he looks so far out of his depth, I hope he leaves at the very least for his health and sanity.

    Poor fella, I don’t really blame him, incompetent people offered him a huge job and he took it, of course.

    He tried and failed.

    Now what?

    You know, I might not like him, but I’ll applaud him for doing that. Surely he must have known the kind of reception he would get, but he still went there.

    I do feel for Rosenior, but he looks out of his depth right now. It might be best for him to step aside at the end of the season.

  5. At the end of the day the board will stick with him until he

    A) loses the dressing room / fails (even more) miserably in the league (Graham Potter Path)

    or

    B) Slowly finds his footing, wins over the players and most of the fanbase, and then falls out with the board because he realizes that the board’s transfer policy/ego is incompatible with a successful football club, and they ‘mutually part ways’ (Maresca Path)

    Liam Rosenior shouldn’t have been hired in the first place and it’s clear he’s having a difficult time adapting to being the manager of such a big team. That being said I’ll save my anger for the sporting directors who hired him, rather than the manager who’s doing his best in an incredibly difficult situation.

    Good. Literally no one likes him. The players, the fans, the media. Just go fuck off to the championship and drift into obscurity. No one wants you here

    Time to walk out liam. Everybody knows Chelsea is not your level yet. Better to leave for your (and everyone else) mental health.

    Nothing against the man. But he’s just not fit for the job. He’s not the man to motivate or control dressing room egos, turn things around, or have that killer instinct. I feel for him, he’s been thrown in this job where he’s bound to fail. Hope he doesn’t suffer any more abuse and is relieved of his duties

  9. Yes man out of his depth, incompetent at his job gets the reception he deserves.

    6 losses in the last 7 games, and unable to score a goal. Lucky port vale game was in between.

    Can’t see a light of shine against Brighton or Leeds next week. Rosenior is fucking shit

  10. He’s not good, yes, but he’s now also seen as a nepo hire of the owners who are hated to the very core.

    It’s not good for him. He’s being disproportionately blamed but that’s the life of a football manager.

    Shame too. Chelsea dominated the game for 90% of the time, conceded a goal down to 10 from injury, and hit the wood work three times in a 1-0 loss. With an all time meme game from Garnacho after losing estevao for an injury right after hitting the post.

    I know people are mad at results but I legitimately don’t think Rosenior is the problem. The players are not converting on tactics that are functionally successful.

    Folks over here blaming the gaffer. We hit the post how many times? We gotta finish.

    But the ownership can’t be wrong, they really love him, saying on record: 

    “He is a proven coach and an innovator in the Premier League who fits our vision for the club. Not only is he extremely talented on the pitch, he has skills and capabilities that extend beyond the pitch which will make Chelsea a more successful club. He has had a major impact at his previous clubs and we look forward to his positive impact at Chelsea. We look forward to supporting him, his coaching team and the squad in realising their full potential in the coming months and years.”

    Oh wait that was Potter my bad.

    Certainly Rosenior is out of his depth. Teams have figured out how to pack the center of the pitch against us and just wait for our defense to lose its head and capitalize.

    But how many managers will the Sporting Directors be allowed to hire, scapegoat, and fire? Either they’re incapable of finding the right manager for this roster, or the roster they’ve assembled is the problem. Either scenario should be a fireable offense.

  15. At the end of the day,

    No matter who comes in to take the job,

    If the management is still the same,

    Or still has the same policy,

    We will never have a team that’s ready to compete,

    Maresca made me feel like we were back,
    Him not backed by the management already gave me the answer.

    Got to respect him for doing that. He comes off as a really nice guy, you want him to succeed but you also know this job is tough and beyond him .

  17. They’re mad at the wrong person. Another manager isnt going to fix anything. Its insane to keep doing the same shit and expect a different outcome.

  18. techno_playa1 on

    Our board hasn’t learned their lesson with Potter.

    You don’t simply give an inexperienced manager a gargantuan task and expect good outcomes.

    Like, what were they even gunning for?
