Rosenior Rages at Chelsea's Set Piece Defending Failure
22 Feb
Summary
- Chelsea conceded a late equalizer from a corner against Burnley.
- Manager Liam Rosenior criticized the team's set piece defending.
- The Blues have dropped 19 points from winning positions this season.
Chelsea's manager, Liam Rosenior, has voiced significant dissatisfaction with the team's performance in defending set pieces following their recent 1-1 draw against Burnley. The Blues conceded a stoppage-time equalizer from a corner, a recurring issue that cost them valuable points at home.
Rosenior admitted that specific players failed to execute their marking duties correctly during the crucial moment. He emphasized that the team's current record defending set plays is insufficient for achieving their season's objectives. This inability to close out games from a winning position has led to 19 dropped points so far this season.
The draw against Burnley is the second consecutive home game where Chelsea has failed to secure a victory from a leading position. The team's game management and consistent errors remain a concern as they strive to qualify for Champions League football.
