What Liam Rosenior blamed instead of Wesley Fofana for frustrating Chelsea draw | OneFootball

Liam Rosenior has refused to blame Wesley Fofana for Chelsea’s bad result, and said instead it was down to a lack of attacking output from his team.

We’ve just seen the post match press conference after Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Burnley, and it’s fair to say Liam Rosenior isn’t too happy.

The Chelsea boss was asked if he was blaming Wesley Fofana for the red card he got which reduced Chelsea to ten men. He refuted that, and put the blame on himself and the whole team for not creating enough to score the second goal.

“No, that wasn’t on Wesley. That was on our performance. From the first goal, we lacked incision when we had control. I want incision. I want us to create wave after wave of attack. We were too safe in our possession,” Rosenior said.

As frustrating as the result was, that’s just what fans want to hear. They will have been thinking the exact same thing watching the game.

Under the new manager the team has been trending in the right direction in terms of making those attacking passes, but today was without doubt a return to our bad old ways. Scoring the goal early actually seemed to work against us, as they naturally started to sit deep and play safer.

Rosenior knows he needs to keep working on that tendency.
