Chelsea’s season has hit a new low, with head coach Liam Rosenior facing growing uncertainty over his future after a damaging run of results in the Premier League.

The Blues suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Brighton, extending their losing streak to five consecutive league matches without scoring. It is the club’s worst run in more than a century, underlining the scale of the crisis.

Rosenior did not hold back after the match. He criticised his players for lacking desire, spirit and courage. The Chelsea boss described the performance as unacceptable and admitted he felt both angry and numb following the defeat.

The result has also damaged Chelsea’s hopes of securing a top-five finish. Brighton have now moved above them in the table, while the London club risk slipping further down if results do not improve quickly.

Recent reports suggest the club hierarchy has already held internal discussions about Rosenior’s position. Some sources claim an emergency meeting has taken place, with the manager’s future now hanging by a thread after a sharp decline in form.

Chelsea have lost seven of their last eight matches in all competitions. The team has struggled in attack and has failed to score in multiple games, raising serious concerns ahead of a crucial FA Cup semi-final.
