The Blues failed to provide a response after their defeat to PSG on Wednesday evening, as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat.

Anthony Gordon scored the only goal of the game as Chelsea’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League were handed a major blow.

Chelsea offered next to nothing, and turned in one of their worst performances of the season at such a crucial stage of the campaign.

The Blues were poor off the ball, and offered very little on it, whilst they were again exposed defensively with ease.

If Liverpool beat Tottenham on Sunday afternoon, Chelsea will drop to sixth, with just eight league games remaining.

Rosenior made a good start, but it’s been a poor week for the 41-year-old, and Burley has slammed the former Strasbourg boss.

“Is he reporting the referee to PGMOL for this? he told ESPN FC.

“He needs to go and worry about his team’s performance, five goals in Paris, the backline, Liverpool winning.

“What’s this huddle around the centre unity nonsense?

“The day he got the job, after his very first interview, I said, he thinks he’s brainier than everyone else, he thinks he knows more than everyone else, he thinks he’s more clever, and he’s overthinking everything.”

Chelsea exposed defensively again

The Blues need for a centre back is greater than ever, and the way Newcastle carved open the backline with ease is a major concern.
