Reece James throws support behind Filip Jorgensen

Rosenior made the decision to once again start Jorgensen in goal, which ultimately backfired as the Dane made an awful error to put Chelsea 3-2 down.

It was a bold call from Rosenior, who came out and defended Jorgensen after the game, but it’s once again called into question his decision to drop Robert Sanchez.

Jamie Carragher feels Chelsea won’t make any progress until they address the goalkeeper issue, but James insisted the team were behind Jorgensen following his mistake.

“This is football, this is the way we want to play,” he told TNT Sports as quoted by The Standard.

“If you play out from the back, mistakes are going to happen.

“Everyone in the team understands that. That is how the manager wants us to play. We are fully behind Filip.”

Liam Rosenior takes responsibility for defeat

Questions will rightly be asked after the defeat and Rosenior was quick to take responsibility for the damaging loss.
