Matt Law was on a tear on the London is Blue podcast this week, giving some very satisfyingly strong opinions on where Chelsea are going wrong.

One thing he couldn’t believe was the subs against PSG after an hour last week. With the Blues so far behind in the tie that it wasn’t realistic they could get back into it, Liam Rosenior withdrew his key attackers.

The logic was to rest them for the Everton game at the weekend – which Chelsea ultimately lost 3-0. Law says the damage to morale caused by giving up on a game cost the team more than an extra 30 minutes in their legs.

Rosenior’s “massive rookie error” costs Chelsea

“It’s a massive rookie error [by Rosenior],” the Daily Telegraph’s Chelsea man said.

“The subs signalled he had given up on that match and was thinking about the next. Because look what you can do, if you can fight back to 2-2 or even 2-1 and make it a game, it would still change the momentum and the feeling going into the next game.

“What actually happened was that actually everyone gave up and thought ‘this is gone’… I was stunned that I could watch a Chelsea team just give up on a match. Never seen it before.”

Law also had some thoughts about Trevoh Chalobah’s loss, and some insight into when the defender could be back.

Moises Caicedo is not playing at his best right now, and there are good reasons for that.
