Liam Rosenior, Chelsea's new head coach, is being put to the test after a disastrous 2-1 win over Fulham. The defeat, marked by poor defending and disciplinary issues, has raised concerns about Rosenior's ability to turn around the team's fortunes.
The match was marred by controversy, with Chelsea starting well before Marc Cucurella's dismissal changed the course of the game. The Fulham winger's goal was aided by a clear foul on the edge of the area, which had to be disallowed for offside due to VAR intervention. However, the home side took advantage of Chelsea's naivety and took the lead through Raúl Jiménez.
Chelsea managed to equalize through Liam Delap's rebound from Antonee Robinson's own goal but failed to contain the discontent among fans, who have grown increasingly frustrated with the club's underperformance. Tension has been building since Enzo Maresca's departure and the team's woes are now being felt by Rosenior.
With Chelsea sitting in eighth place after nine league wins from their last 10 matches, Rosenior will face an uphill battle to turn the team around. The pressure is on him to provide some stability and direction, particularly after a concerning display that showcased the team's vulnerability.

this guy was supposed to be the savior but now he's facin some serious pressure... i feel for him, gotta show us all that he can turn it around tho 
Chelsea needs someone with a solid game plan & strategy to get them outta this mess... hopefully Rosenior steps up his game and shows us what he's really workin with 
! One minute they're killing it, the next minute they're getting thrashed 2-1 at home... what's going on?! 
The fans are right to be frustrated, Rosenior's gotta sort out some serious issues - defensive vulnerabilities and disciplinary stuff... how's he gonna turn this team around?! 
. Cucurella getting sent off was a major turning point and now they're paying the price 
. Can't wait to see how Rosenior addresses these concerns 
!
. They had all the pieces to win that match against Fulham but they just couldn't put it together. And poor Marc Cucurella getting sent off was a total nail in the coffin 
️.
. I get that coaches are under pressure to win but you'd think they could figure out how to manage those games better by now 
.
!
! Who needs consistency when you can have drama and controversy? I mean, a little naivety never hurt anyone, right? It's all part of the charm. And let's be real, 8th place in the league is nothing to scoff at 
.
that's just crazy! i think the ref was trying to help fulham out by disallowing that goal but umm it was so close! and raúl jiménez just kinda walked in there like he owns the place 
anyway i feel bad for chelsea fans they're always supporting their team and then things don't go well. do you think liam rosenior is the right guy for the job tho? he seems like a nice coach but can he really turn it around? 
I'm still getting used to the new head coach, Rosenior. He seems like he's in over his head right now 
Marc Cucurella's red card was a game-changer, but it also showed how clueless they were. I'm worried about Rosenior's ability to turn this around... he needs to sort out the squad ASAP 
Can't believe Chelsea is sitting in eighth place after all that effort 
so i think rosensior needs to make some changes ASAP 
. cucurella getting sent off was a major blow 
but he needs to show some solid game planning and tactics 
. we need to see some cohesion in the team's play, like its been missing for a while 
. fans are getting restless 
, so rosensior gotta prove us all wrong 
️. we need more width on the pitch and some solidity in the middle 
did u see that foul on cucurella? it looked super sus 
8th place is pretty mid tbh. what do u guys think will happen next season tho? should they just sell all their players and start from scratch lol just kidding kinda...
. what's going on over there?! 
i feel for the fans, they're having a tough time with all these losses. someone needs to step in and give them some hope 
because this defeat won't fix itself. I'm all for some constructive criticism, but come on, 8th place is nothing to write home about! 
. Can Rosenior really turn it around, or is it time for a different tactician? 
but seriously the way fulham took advantage of chelsea's mistakes is just a recipe for disaster 
. Poor defending and discipline issues are a combo that's hard to shake off
