One of the most scathing takedowns of Liam Rosenior we’ve seen so far came in the last few days from Kevin Kilbane, a former teammate of the new Chelsea manager.

“You see the way he is now, to me, he’s unrecognisable to the player and the person I knew. It’s like he’s swallowed a psychologist’s manual or a sporting mentor’s memoir. To me, everything he says is waffle, drivel, nothing,” Kilbane said of his former teammate.

That has now generated a reaction of its own from other pundits. Jamie Carragher, Ian Wright and Gary Neville all agreed on “Stick to Football” that it was excessive criticism.

“Kevin has obviously played with Liam, he said I just can’t recognise this individual. It was almost a massive takedown of him,” Neville said.

“It was so mean,” added Wright. “Needless. He did a whole bit saying it was an act, he was talking about his clothes. Why? If you want to criticise his methods, notes, but to dig him out like that?”

“That was out of order that, wasn’t it? I didn’t like that,” concluded Carragher.

“He said he’s completely different, bit harsh wasn’t it?”
