Rosenior signed a six and a half year contract at the start of the year as Enzo Maresca’s successor, and things got off to a good start.

However, it feels like the honeymoon period is well and truly over, with Rosenior coming in for heavy criticism after recent results.

Gary Lineker offers advice to Liam Rosenior

The Blues have lost their last three games in all competitions, with two defeats to PSG, and the loss to Newcastle.

The second leg defeat to PSG felt like a new low under the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital ownership, with fans leaving Stamford Bridge in their thousands after an hour.

Rosenior hasn’t helped himself with his recent comments and the whole debacle from the huddle before the Newcastle game, and Lineker has offered the 41-year-old some advice.

“Stick to the coaching, which obviously you can see the patterns of play and this sort of thing. Stick to that,” he told The Rest Is Football.

“Don’t overdo your press conferences. Just answer it a little bit.

“Be more like Michael Carrick and less like Ruben Amorim in terms of the way you are speaking.”

Chelsea still backing their head coach

Questions have been asked about Rosenior’s future following the Champions League exit to PSG, despite only arriving at the start of the year.

Chelsea are said to still believe in Rosenior, but he’s very much under pressure, with the Blues desperately needing a top five finish and Champions League football.

Failure to deliver that could see him replaced in the summer, but there’s said to be an understanding Rosenior hasn’t had the time to work with the squad and fully get his ideas across.

  1. Give him a chance , this his first big club managing and a learning process for him how to manage big egos players . He has to apply different tactics in every different opposition and be strong on selection . Chelsea transfer needs a solid new GK and a two CBs from FA to purchasing . And Chelsea needs a extra CMs that has physical strength with fast pace . They need a new RB with fast pace and strong physically in defence . They need a LW that possess skills in dribbling and very fast pace and physically strong that creates goals and the last one a genuine striker that has physical strength with skills to score every game and can bully defenders . The young satpaev is already proven that he can play physical game that my hopes is he will be playing first team football in CFc not to loan up . He has a pedigree of Aquero / teves type of player . He can play in any position upfront . They needs to show to theirs player’s that their vision is not to be competitive team but a champion from EPL to UCL . Theirs still a game to play they can re- group and make it to qualification for UCL . The gapper needs to be wise and strong and needs adjustments in tactics from ATo Z . Select the right balance against Everton . Play Fofana at RB , Sarr and Hato in CBs and cucu at the LB . Acheampong and Santos two pivot and Palmer and Neto in the wings jao and Delap upfront . Caceido and Enzo at the bench , they both disturbed by pay rise . They’re not 100% performing for the club . They been tap up by others team . Theirs still time to qualify for UCL and never give up , play strong and win games . This team has qualities but needs reinforcement and reshuffle the GK , CBs and adds up extra CMs , LW and Striker . God bless tonight game my hope this team gets 3points up to the last games in EPL . Vamos
