ROSENIOR MOMENT

LIAM ROSENIOR’S Chelsea reign is going from bad to worse, with the stats making for horror reading.

The Blues were swept aside as they were eliminated from the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain and have let a spot in the top five of the Premier League slip after a string of poor results.

And every time you think this can’t carry on like this… it can, and it does.

The latest limp display from this £1.5billion squad came in front of their own fans on Saturday night against Champions League-chasing rivals Manchester United.

Michael Carrick‘s Red Devils arrived without a senior centre-back in their ranks — relying on teenager Ayden Heaven and natural full-back Noussair Mazraoui to see them through.

However, in typical fashion of recent weeks, Chelsea looked dangerous, created a number of good chances — even hitting the woodwork three times — and had 21 shots overall, but were unable to finish their dinner.

By contrast, it took United just one shot on target to score as Matheus Cunha lashed the ball into the net after an unmarked run was found by a Bruno Fernandes pass into the penalty area.

The alarming lack of goals up front saw United do the double over Chelsea for just the second time in Premier League history — the only other time being the 2019/20 season.

Meanwhile, the goal drought in west London was compounded by the fact that Rosenior is the first Blues boss to oversee Chelsea losing four Prem games in a row without scoring.

That run, dating back to a 1-0 loss to Newcastle on March 14, has also seen Chelsea fall to three Prem home defeats in a row in 31 years.

Perhaps the most damning stat of all though, is that Chelsea are statistically the biggest losers in Europe at the moment.

No team has lost more games in all competitions than they have since March 7, with the club picking up seven defeats in that period.

Chelsea could still salvage their season with some silverware and by recovering their league form in the final five games.

They have a semi-final against Leeds on April 26, and if they win that, they will take on one of Manchester City or Southampton in the Wembley showpiece final.

In the league run-in, Chelsea face Brighton, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, Man City and Sunderland.

Brighton’s draw with Spurs put them a point behind the Blues, meaning they are a direct European-chasing rival, in the same way Liverpool — who are currently four points above Chelsea — are.

Chelsea need to stop their slide down the table, and fast, or else they risk missing out on European football entirely next season.

That would undoubtedly be a disaster for the club from both a sporting and financial perspective— with owners BlueCo having lost £1.7bn since their takeover in 2022.— Sun.
