Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has accepted full responsibility after his side suffered a 3-0 defeat against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.
The Blues were outplayed on the night, with City delivering a dominant performance to secure all three points. The result adds pressure on Rosenior, who took charge midway through the season and is still trying to stabilise the squad.
Speaking after the match, Rosenior pointed to the time given to top managers like Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp as a contrast to his own situation.
“Even Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, they had a year to solve things out,” he said. “I came in January. But I know I need to win now. I’m accountable. This is a group.”
The Chelsea boss made it clear that despite the circumstances, he is not using timing as an excuse. Instead, he stressed the need for immediate results as the club looks to recover from a difficult phase.
Rosenior also highlighted a key issue within his squad, pointing towards a lack of resilience during crucial moments in games.
“Our resilience is something we need to improve,” he added. “It starts with your habits and values.”
