What Chelsea fans brutally chanted at Liam Rosenior as Brighton defeat sets unwanted 32-year record

Chelsea's miserable run of form took another turn for the worse at Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday night.

And with the game slipping away, the travelling fans made their feelings very clear.

Chelsea fans want Liam Rosenior out after defeat at the Amex

Blues supporters turned on head coach Liam Rosenior during the 3-0 defeat to the Seagulls at the Amex Stadium.

With more than 20 minutes still remaining and Chelsea staring at a fifth straight Premier League defeat without scoring, sections of the away end began chanting: “F*** off, Rosenior.”

The defeat left Chelsea with an unwanted record, becoming the club’s first side in 32 years to lose five league matches in a row without finding the net.

Brighton fans then responded with chants of “Liam Rosenior, he’s one of our own”, mocking the Chelsea boss because of his previous links to the Seagulls.

It was another desperately poor night for Chelsea, who were second best throughout and never looked like ending their dreadful run.

Goals from Ferdi Kadioglu, Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck sealed a comfortable win for Brighton and increased the pressure on Rosenior just a few months after his appointment.

The travelling Chelsea support also aimed chants at co-owner Behdad Eghbali, with anger increasingly directed not just at the manager, but at the club’s hierarchy.

FGG says: Rosenior is out of his depth but he is not Chelsea's only problem

There is no denying Rosenior looks out of his depth right now.

Chelsea are completely lacking in confidence, identity and direction, and five straight defeats without a goal is simply unacceptable for a club of this size.

But it would be unfair to place all of the blame solely on Rosenior.

The bigger issue remains the ownership and the way the club has been run over the last few years, with fans continuing to protest against Clearlake and BlueCo.

Manager after manager has come and gone, while the squad has been assembled without any clear plan.

Rosenior may not be the man to turn things around, but Chelsea’s problems go far deeper than whoever happens to be standing in the dugout.
