«Indefensible»: Rosenior on Enzo Fernández’s Chelsea thrashing | OneFootball

Chelsea’s present is a wound that won’t stop bleeding. This Tuesday, the London side suffered a brutal blow as they lost 3-0 away to Brighton, a result that not only pushes them further from the qualification spots, but also sparked a real internal scandal. With Enzo Fernández as captain and figurehead, the squad had to endure the bitter moment of standing in front of the away end, taking insults and boos from fans who have already run out of patience.

Goals from Kadioglu, Hinshelwood, and Welbeck were too much for a team wandering aimlessly through the Premier League: they have lost seven of their last eight matches. But the strongest blow came afterward, in front of the microphones. Manager Liam Rosenior, far from calming the situation, set the dressing room on fire with statements that will have consequences: “The performance is unacceptable, the attitude was indefensible. Something has to change drastically here and now”, he said, visibly shaken.

The picture is bleak for the Blues, with this defeat, Chelsea dropped to seventh place on 48 points, outside the Europa League spots and overtaken by Brighton themselves.

The situation is critical because the margin for error has disappeared. The team seems to have hit rock bottom mentally, and now an even tougher test awaits: on Sunday they will play the FA Cup semifinal against Leeds at Wembley. It will be their last chance to save a season that, as things stand today, feels like a nightmare.
