Paul Merson suggests Liam Rosenior wouldn’t have even got an interview at Liverpool or Newcastle | OneFootball

Paul Merson has suggested that Liam Rosenior wouldn’t have even got an interview for a club like Liverpool or Newcastle United.

The current Blues boss is under increased scrutiny and has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism lately after a very poor run of form with Chelsea.

Many Chelsea fans and pundits believed he was out of his depth when Chelsea made the hire anyway, but I think that opinion has become even wider now and things have gotten much worse.

In his latest Sky Sports column, Merson said:

“It’s been a bad month for Liam Rosenior at Chelsea. That’s four games on the trot where they’ve been smacked. They can’t win one game.

“There are ways of losing football matches and that was a horrible, horrible watch at Everton. It didn’t look to me that the players were really on the same page as the manager.

“If Arne Slot got the sack at Liverpool this week, or if Eddie Howe left Newcastle, would Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior have got one of those two jobs?

“I’ll go one further: would he even get an interview? It’s madness.

“This Chelsea team don’t sit pretty at all with the fans, who have put Rosenior under pressure from day one.

“But the board – whatever plan they’ve got – you’d think Rosenior would need to get into the top five for them to be happy.”

Unfortunately, he is spot on with this.

In other news…

Liam Rosenior has claimed that it wasn’t a lack of effort or tactical mistakes that were costing Chelsea – but insisted he didn’t want to blame the players in the wake of the Everton defeat on Saturday night.

But Rosenior also blamed “mistakes” for the goals Chelsea were conceding – but we’re going to need a bit more than that I’m afraid.
