Liam Rosenior’s project has reached a historical low tonight, breaking two records that will put doubt in the minds of the Chelsea owners.
A similar tale to the first leg at Stamford Bridge, with Paris Saint-Germain able to score goals at will due to the spaces left open by Liam Rosenior‘s side.
It didn’t take long for Chelsea fans to turn on their own side, chanting for PSG to sh
oot and score more goals just 15 minutes into the game, which sums everything up.
The defence is a huge worry at Stamford Bridge, and to see Trevoh Chalobah being stretchered off only adds to the problems that Rosenior faces.
And if that wasn’t enough, Rosenior has broken a couple of unwanted records of his own.

Liam Rosenior breaks two Champions League records
According to Squawka, 14 minutes is the earliest Chelsea have conceded twice in a UEFA Champions League match.
Before Liam Rosenior broke the record tonight, the manager who held the unwanted distinction for the earliest two goals conceded by Chelsea in a Champions League match was Frank Lampard.
During the 2019/20 group stage against Ajax at Stamford Bridge, Lampard’s side found themselves 2-1 down within 20 minutes.
As well as this, this was the first time that Chelsea have conceded eight goals in a two-legged Champions League tie, adding insult to injury for Rosenior.

Where does Liam Rosenior go from here?
Liam Rosenior’s future at Chelsea now faces uncertainty. With Chelsea winning just one of their last five Premier League games, the board reckons Rosenior may not be here next season.
With names like Gary O’Neil already being floated around in the media, his tenure feels increasingly terminal. Unless he can produce an immediate tactical reset to fix the openness that has defined this month’s failures, Rosenior risks becoming the fifth permanent manager to depart in the Clearlake era.
