Chelsea warned about making crucial mistake Man U did two years ago | OneFootball

Chelsea are looking likely to fall into the “Ten Hag Trap” of keeping Liam Rosenior even after it’s clear he’s not up to it.

The Athletic’s piece today has each of their Chelsea writers making an argument for and against keeping Liam Rosenior.

One of the most convincing arguments against was what they called the “Ten Hag Trap”, which they describe as “keeping and doubling down on a coach who most supporters and outside observers have concluded is not up to the job, only to belatedly accept reality and part ways with him a few months into a new season.”

Everything lines up for Chelsea to follow in Man U’s footsteps

That is what we forsee what we see happening with Rosenior. Having only arrived in January, he won’t have time to prove he’s not up to the job before the season ends – even if he’s sacked.

So the club will stick with him, but the pressure from an unhappy squad and an even unhappier fanbase will eventually reach unsustainable levels after a few months of next season – barring a miracle turnaround.

Who knows – maybe he will turn things around this season, or maybe over the summer with some new players.

In other news…

Barcelona have been operating on a fraction of Chelsea’s transfer spend in the last few years – they they’ve got more attacking options than the Blues.

Chelsea are not improving under Liam Rosenior – in fact they seem to get worse with time to train.
