Paul Merson: Liam Rosenior has to stop being so honest with Chelsea right up against it to qualify for Champions League
"Respect the ball? Just don't say it. I didn't like the Alejandro Garnacho incident against PSG. Even he was walking over thinking: what am I doing with this note? Just stop it."
"That performance against PSG was worrying. Compare it to Newcastle's game against Barcelona - yes they got beaten heavily but for three quarters of that game they were the better team."
"If you're Chelsea manager, you're going to be judged on the big games. And Liam Rosenior's had six big games - three against Arsenal, two against PSG."
Chelsea faces challenges in qualifying for the Champions League after three consecutive defeats, including two against Paris Saint-Germain. Liam Rosenior's comments about 'respecting the ball' and giving tactical notes during a heavy loss have drawn criticism. The team's performance against PSG was particularly concerning, contrasting with Newcastle's competitive effort against Barcelona. Chelsea's difficult fixtures ahead further complicate their chances of success, and Rosenior's management will be scrutinized in upcoming crucial matches.
