“Too mediocre” – French journalist questions Liam Rosenior’s “fragile” tactics | OneFootball

Top French reporter Julien Laurens has been questioning the tactics of current Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior. 

Laurens has grown used to watching Rosenior closely over in France when he was the manager of Strasbourg, Chelsea’s sister club of course.

But now, he is managing Chelsea after replacing Enzo Maresca in January, and he is well and truly struggling right now.

It wasn’t the worst start for the new Blues boss, he actually came in and did quite well to begin with. But the wheels soon fell off and things started to turn sour for the former Fulham player.

And now, Laurens is calling his tactics out and saying it is far too structured and fragile to compete in the Premier League and at a club like Chelsea.

First of all, Laurens said:

“What Chelsea is offering is too poor, too mediocre. It feels like Rosenior isn’t up to the task. Chelsea gave him a six-and-a-half-year contract, and after just three months, we’re already asking questions.”

Then he added:

“The team looks lost at times defensively very fragile, no real structure in possession, and the heavy defeats – Everton, PSG especially – show that. You can’t hide behind ‘it’s early’ when you’ve conceded that many goals and the football is this uninspiring.”

In other news…

Romeo Lavia’s first start in the Premier League since October was one of the few bright spots of the Everton game at the weekend, although even then it wasn’t fully convincing.

Chelsea’s lowest rated player overall was Robert Sanchez, who continued his infamous Chelsea career with yet more foolishness.
