Liam Rosenior described the situation as a mountain to climb after Chelsea suffered a loss against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Fans held protests outside the ground before kick-off to express frustration with the recent run of results. The defeat leaves Chelsea in the bottom half of the Premier League table with five matches remaining in the season, according to the Premier League.
Manchester United secured the victory with goals in either half to bolster their pursuit of European qualification. Rosenior, who replaced the previous management earlier this season, acknowledged that the squad is struggling for confidence during this juncture. The head coach told reporters that the club must organise its defence more effectively to avoid further losses, per Sky Sports.
Supporters remained in the stands after the final whistle to voice their displeasure with the current ownership. Chelsea have now lost three consecutive league fixtures and face a difficult trip to face Arsenal in their next match on Wednesday, according to ESPN.
