Rosenior is fine when things are going well but doesn't have a clue how to handle the indiscipline in the squad.

Glad I didn’t fine a stream to watch this sh*te

Two bob manager takes off forwards and puts on defenders invites them on txt my son said this will go tits up and it did you know 🙈

Quote myself from Jan 6:

For LR, if he is the next coach, I sincerely hope: he doesn't have stupid favorites; uses our players in their natural positions; makes astute tactical changes when required; and sorts out the red card problem we now have.

Having said all that, I think BlueCo are taking a massive risk appointing LR because if it goes wrong again - maybe some of our high value players will decide to look for a better run club whose main goal is to win trophies.

Seems like Gusto and Enzo are still the first names on the team sheet... and the daft substitutions/red card problems are not going away... maybe he should take a week off lol!

As soon as I seen tosin coming on the clean sheet was gone

Coached a win and let down by his players, but pretty sure every Chelsea fan knew we were conceding as soon as Tosin came on.

I don’t know where this notion that he coached a win comes from. We did have less shots on target than relegation bound Burnley. We didn’t overwhelmed them with waves of attack after attack, his goalie didn’t have much work with 2 shots on target, and we were pretty casual about the game. No, he did not coach a win, he coached a pretty boring game against relegation fodder.

Had freshened things right up since he came in but that yesterday was back to earth with a big BUMP and it's all down to him.

Really poor not to beat such an average Burnley side, especially after going 1-0 up so early. So much for high intensity. His game management and team selection had been decent up to yesterday and I like how Santos has been a key factor, but yesterday, why did Gusto play for so long and why was Fofana given as many minutes when on a yellow card? And it was Santos who was given the role to mark Burnley's best header of the ball in the dying minutes when we had f**k knows how many defenders / bigger players on the pitch?

That was a wake up call yesterday (as if we needed one). Hope unlike Maresca, he learns from his mistakes and quickly.

Never felt we were going to get Top 5 under him, and much convinced after dropping 4 points v Leeds and Burnley that we will end up at 6th.

Looking at the next 6 PL games v Arsenal, Villa, Newcastle, Everton, City and Utd, I will shocked if we pick up 10pts in that run.

I noticed that about Santos. He hadn’t a clue what he was doing for the equaliser. Some players are windbags when push comes to shove and he looks like one. We were like statues for thier goal and the chance that followed - that’s coaching. What happened to attack the ball defending.

WTF am I reading. You only coach a win when you win.

Is there a handbook for snowflake losers I ain’t read ????

Cant see us finishing above both, we need to be at least 4th going to Anfield, after that we finish with Tottenham home and Sunderland away

It will be close but the fixtures after Burnley in 2 weeks could decide if we have a chance

Arsenal away, Villa away, Newcastle home, Everton away, Man city home, Man utd home, Brighton away, Forest Home

10 points minimum plus 6 points from our next 2 games 59 points going to Anfield, 5th place last season was 66 if we can get a draw at Liverpool, beat Tottenham and get a draw at Sunderland will give us 64 so will need to win at Liverpool or Sunderland

well i said this before the LEEDS GAME AND SAID WE WOULD TAKE 6 POINTS (HOW WRONG WAS I?)

REVISE IT AND 55 POINTS GOING TO ANFIELD, SO WE WOULD HAVE TO BEAT LIVERPOOL, SPURS AND SUNDERLAND JUST TO GET TO 64, UNLESS WE SOMEHOW TAKE MORE THEN 10 POINTS IN OUR NEXT 8 GAMES WHICH SOUNDS EASY UNTIL YOU SEE THE FIXTURES

ARSENAL 0, VILLA 1, NEWCASTLE 3, EVERTON 1, CITY 0, UTD 1, BRIGHTON 1, FOREST 3

WE COULD EASILY DRAW WITH NEWCASTLE AND FOREST, AND MAYBE BEAT BRIGHTON AND EVERTON

What’s the big obsession with CL. We ain’t equipped to win in so it’s just money.

Don’t but another Garnacho this summer and job done.

Maybe have a full season sponsorship, we don’t have to offer CL football to the profile of player we look at so why not have a crack at a winnable trophy, oh that’s right we no longer care about that that’s why we get to the semi final of a cup comp and field weakened teams.

He’s had an easy start to his Chelsea career now we have loads of hard games coming up . honestly can’t see us getting champions league this year so think he might be looking for new employment in the summer

We aren’t good enough for the Champions League and would be an absolute waste of a spot à la Spurs all those years.

Rosenior got yesterday wrong. Enzo doesn’t need to play a full 90 when he’s putting in such a passenger performance AGAIN. Sarr should’ve been rewarded for his performance midweek with a start.

The thing I’m holding out hope for is the goal, it was fast it was direct it was the football we should be playing all the time. There’ve been a lot more flashes of that kind of play under Rosenior. Maybe once the shackles of Marescaball have been fully removed and LR has had a full preseason to work with the squad and implement his style we can talk if the results aren’t coming.

This season is a write off anyway.

The big obsession is for the owners, WE ARE SKINT, dont get CL and we need to sell at least one big player, if we fail to qualify for any European competition and the owners are in big trouble, it will be at least two big names leaving, remember we could still get a transfer ban and could be in trouble with UEFA (we have no more hotels, training grounds or womans teams to sell)

They’ll blame the manager again.

Double their xG. 3 big chances. The fact the players can’t hit a barn door shows the players let him down.

Out of curiosity who from the bench would you have replaced Enzo with? Im pretty sure Lavia wasn't fit.

To start the match with nobody.

But then I’d have taken Enzo off instead of CP once Fofana threw the game. Leaving Enzo on who isn’t fantastic defensively and also isn’t fantastic offensively nullified us, at least with CP still on the pitch we’d have had an outlet.

I think Palmer was pretty bad to be honest so I understood why he was taken off.

In hindsight probably could have just moved James to midfield and taken both off.

Admittedly he was but I always view him through the Hazard POV. Even if he’s having an absolute stinker (which he has been having for pretty much the whole season) he’s always worth leaving on because he’s capable of that moment of magic no one else is.

2 shots on target against Burnley and as many total shots as Burnley. Everyone at the Bridge knew it was a sh*t performance.
