"It was a crash course in the modern Chelsea for Liam Rosenior. The new head coach saw rash decisions undermine flashes of promise and heard rumblings of discontent. Few supporters are convinced by the club's direction and the cracks were evident when the travelling supporters aimed mutinous chants at the Chelsea hierarchy as they watched their erratic side fall to a chaotic 2-1 defeat at Fulham. Steering this project back on course will not be easy for Rosenior."
"Perhaps he will reflect that he has already made his first misstep since leaving Strasbourg. He elected not to sit in the away dugout, leaving Calum McFarlane in interim charge after the draw with Manchester City, and the result was Chelsea producing a directionless performance in which they lost Marc Cucurella to an early red card before losing to a late goal from Harry Wilson."
Liam Rosenior observed Chelsea's chaotic 2-1 defeat at Fulham from the directors' box and faced immediate questions about the club's discipline and direction. Travelling supporters aimed mutinous chants at the club hierarchy during an erratic performance. Rosenior had not sat in the away dugout, leaving Calum McFarlane in interim charge, and the side produced a directionless display. Chelsea lost Marc Cucurella to an early red card and conceded a late winner from Harry Wilson. There were promising moments, including Andrey Santos heading a corner against the bar and opportunities for Liam Delap, but recurring temperament issues and heavy challenges from Fulham undermined the team.
