‘Indefensible’: Liam Rosenior on Enzo Fernández’s Chelsea thrashing | OneFootball

Chelsea’s present is a wound that won’t stop bleeding. This Tuesday, the London side took a brutal hit by losing 3-0 away to Brighton, a result that not only moves them further away from the qualification spots, but also sparked a full-blown internal scandal. With Enzo Fernández as captain and standard-bearer, the squad had to endure the bitter moment of standing in front of the away end, taking insults and boos from a fanbase that has already run out of patience.

The 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 remarks 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 outlook for the Blues is bleak, with this defeat, Chelsea dropped to seventh place with 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 shot at saving a season that, as things stand, looks like a nightmare.
