We asked for your thoughts after Saturday’s 5-1 win at Charlton in the third round of the FA Cup.
Here are some of your comments:
George: Good score in the end which flatters Chelsea. To get there the reinforcements needed to come on. Lots of work is needed by Liam Rosenior to improve the team. The fringe players just aren’t good enough. We need to ensure that they get more game time to be assessed properly. The shining lights for me were Jorrel Hato, Marc Guiu and Jamie Gittens who had their best game and deserve more game time.
Rafi: Brilliant start for Rosenior and players were looking really hungry which is going to be essential to push forward on all fronts for the rest of the season.
Tony: Good performance all round, but I can’t understand how anybody thinks Benoit Badiashile is a Chelsea defender. He is a bag of nerves and only passes sideways or backwards.
Tristan: Emphatic. What a performance from the boys, especially in front of a confident Charlton. A great start to Rosenior’s Chelsea career and we wait to see what happens next.
Rob: A dress rehearsal at best and another set piece goal conceded. We have missed Levi Colwill this season and the chance to find a partnership in central defence to build on.
Chris: Good result against a spirited Charlton side, but showed that Rosenior has a job to do. Defence is still a shambles and we haven’t got a decent goalkeeper. ‘Run around Delap’ came on for his usual cameo to show us he can’t score! Let’s hope the usual suspects are restored to the starting line up for the next game.
Nick: Well that went well! I’ve really enjoyed listening to Rosenior speak this week, he’s eloquent, charming, witty and really seems to understand both the club and the challenge in front of him. You can only beat what’s in front of you, but this was an efficient, professional win, and he was able to get a good solid performance from some of the second string players. It was very different from the game against Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup where we were dreadful.
