Pundit makes Liam Rosenior sack prediction after embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Brighton | OneFootball

Things are going from bad to absolute disaster for Chelsea. Following a totally humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Brighton on Tuesday night, the calls for manager Liam Rosenior to face the chopping block are growing.

Leading the charge is former Premier League manager Tim Sherwood, who did not hold back in his brutal, highly publicised assessment of the Blues’ latest collapse.

It was Chelsea’s fifth Premier League defeat in a row and their latest defeat means they are now 7th in the league table.

Sherwood feels Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior could be sacked

Speaking on Sky Sports in the immediate aftermath of the match, Sherwood completely unloaded on the Chelsea squad, explicitly calling the display “embarrassing”.

‘It was a team playing against a bunch of individuals who had no spirit, no character,’ Sherwood told Sky Sports, as reported by Metro.

‘I’ve just watched them at the end going up to the Chelsea fans, half of them had already left the stadium probably 20 minutes ago, it was done and dusted after the second goal went in.

‘They played five at the back in the first half, it was embarrassing the amount of room Brighton had, second half was a little bit better at the start.

‘He [Rosenior] was lucky at half time it was only one [goal], Garnacho came on and gave more in forward areas but as soon as they got the second goal with Hinshelwood, we’re talking an academy player who played in every single position on the pitch, he played full-back, he’s outstanding in that position, plays in midfield, he played as a No.10 tonight, he was outstanding.

‘I don’t like saying it but there are demonstrations there and flags out against BlueCo, he will not survive this, Liam Rosenior will not survive this, unfortunately for him.

‘It’s a real tough job for any manager to go in there and change the environment because these Chelsea fans have been brought up winning trophies, the biggest trophies, with the biggest players. It’s a development club.’

For Rosenior, the walls are closing in at a rapid pace. He only took the job in early January, signing a colossal, headline-grabbing contract that supposedly runs all the way until 2032.

Just days ago, he was actively fronting the media, publicly insisting he had “100%” backing from the club’s board.

However, the underlying numbers are terrifyingly bad for a club of this stature. This latest hammering officially marks Chelsea’s fifth consecutive Premier League defeat.

Blues are going through severe crisis

To make matters significantly worse, Rosenior’s 1.42 points-per-game record is officially the second-worst of any permanent Chelsea manager this century, sitting just marginally above the historically disastrous Graham Potter era (1.27 PPG).

You have to seriously wonder how much more embarrassment the BlueCo ownership group can tolerate.

Rosenior might technically have a massive six-and-a-half-year contract in his back pocket, but in the ruthless reality of the Premier League, patience at Stamford Bridge appears to have completely evaporated.
