Of course, it&#8217;s a results business, but we think he can be successful long term.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">However, two further defeats have worsened the situation and the fans have since turned, making it a more difficult decision to keep Rosenior than make a change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Asked about supporters turning on him, Rosenior said: &#8220;I understand the supporters&#8217; frustration. It&#8217;s my job as head coach and manager &#8211; the buck stops with me. I have thick skin and I understand why the fans feel that way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I&#8217;m frustrated with the performances we&#8217;re producing and I have to keep working hard with the staff and the players. But I also need to take a hard look at how we approach games, the personnel we select and who I can trust in difficult moments, because not enough players showed that today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/chelsea\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chelsea<\/a> striker Chris Sutton told Sky Sports: &#8220;It&#8217;s a team that look like they&#8217;ve never played together before. What&#8217;s worse than that is it&#8217;s been a really gutless display.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;The issue Liam Rosenior will have is people will look at this performance and say he has lost the dressing room but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/chelsea\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chelsea<\/a> players need to take a hard look at themselves. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/chelsea\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chelsea<\/a> have been pathetic and they are going backwards.
