The revealing Premier League table since Chelsea appointed Liam Rosenior Liam Rosenior’s managerial tenure at Chelsea has sparked debate since his January 2026 appointment, with mixed results fueling both support and criticism. The Englishman, who replaced Enzo Maresca after a fallout with the club’s owners, faced immediate skepticism due to his previous role at Strasbourg, also owned by Clearlake. Despite early optimism, his time in charge has been marked by both moments of promise and growing concerns. Rosenior’s initial spell saw Chelsea secure four consecutive Premier League wins, including a dramatic comeback against West Ham. These victories, however, were accompanied by signs of inconsistency. The team struggled to maintain focus throughout matches, leading to costly points dropped against Leeds and Burnley at Stamford Bridge. A narrow win over Aston Villa, a side in poor form, was sandwiched between defeats to Arsenal and Newcastle, highlighting the fragility of their performance. The club’s Champions League campaign further exposed Rosenior’s limitations. A 8-2 aggregate loss to PSG underscored defensive vulnerabilities and a lack of resilience under pressure. A 3-0 defeat at Everton intensified scrutiny, with the manager acknowledging the team’s struggles. “The most disappointing evening so far,” Rosenior said after the loss. “We didn’t control the game or prevent opponents from scoring.” Despite the setbacks, Rosenior has defended his approach, emphasizing that the team’s issues stem from tactical execution rather than effort or belief. “When you’re on a run of defeats, those things get levelled at you, but I don’t think that’s the problem at the moment,” he insisted. He also addressed the frustration of fans, acknowledging the emotional toll of recent losses.#chelsea #premier_league #liam_rosenior #enzo_maresca #clearlake

Rosenior’s big calls for PSG clash In goal, Filip Jorgensen has kept his place after Robert Sanchez looked shaky in the Wrexham game on Saturday. We’re really not behind this goalkeeper gambling, but you’ve got to respect Rosenior’s right to try the two options and work out who he likes. In defence, Malo Gusto plays at right back. That frees up Reece James to play in midfield. Andrey Santos has held that position alongside Moises Caicedo for a while now, and will be gutted he’s missing out here. But it was always the way things were going. Reece was trusted in these games in midfield by Enzo Maresca and Rosenior has been tempted by it too recently. Gusto’s positive effects in the Club World Cup final against this opposition are clearly well remembered too. The front line goes as you’d expect. We can’t help but have a flash of hope that Cole Palmer is going to produce something magical today.
