Liam Rosenior has faced some criticism lately, even though Chelsea has been performing well.
Exiting the Carabao Cup is unfortunate, but it clears up their schedule. With a chance to finish in the top five and focus on the Champions League, Chelsea still has a lot to aim for this season.
The match schedule remains busy. Wolves are next in the league, followed by Leeds United, and then an FA Cup match against Hull City, all within a week.
This set of games offers Rosenior opportunities to adjust his strategy. However, he will need to establish a steady lineup and style of play soon, as the team’s performances have been inconsistent so far.
One player who might warrant more attention during this time is highlighted.
Jamie Redknapp suggests Cole Palmer should play more forward
