The stats that could cost Rosenior his Chelsea job before next season | OneFootball

Chelsea suffered a humiliating 3-0 loss at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of their Champions League round-of-16 tie last night.

The result completed an 8-2 aggregate defeat against the reigning champions.

Chelsea are now out of the Champions League and League Cup. Last weekend’s Premier League loss leaves the Blues facing the possibility of missing out on Europe’s elite competition next season.

The club dismissed Enzo Maresca in favour of Liam Rosenior, but his time with Chelsea has been disappointing. The cringe quotes and lack of top-level experience aside, his tactics are awful.

Several statistics point to a largely terrible first few months in charge, based on 18 matches.

Chelsea have conceded 28 goals in those 18 games.

The PSG defeat inflates that number, but it is still a damning stat line pointing to a lack of defensive cohesion.

Further illustrating the lack of defensive resilience, Chelsea have kept only three clean sheets since he took over.

The five goals shipped in the first leg are the most Chelsea have conceded in a Champions League match. Across two legs, it is the most they have ever conceded (8).

Yesterday’s 3-0 defeat was their heaviest home loss in the Champions League. Rosenior has clearly not been an improvement on Maresca. If anything, Chelsea have regressed.

They somehow struck gold with Maresca and willingly let him leave. The Blues are paying the price for another inexcusably poor decision.

Rosenior signed a deal until 2032 when he joined the club at the turn of the year, but based on these metrics, it will be a miracle if he is in charge next season.
