Liam Rosenior hit out at his Chelsea players for \u201c15-20 minutes of madness\u201d which saw them throw the game away against a brutally clinical PSG side. There\u2019s a difference between saying you \u201ctake responsibility\u201d and actually doing so.<\/p>\n

Rosenior sprang something of a shock before the game by selecting Filip Jorgensen over Robert Sanchez, who\u2019s played 13 games to his rival\u2019s three under his charge, but was dropped for the 4-1 win over Aston Villa<\/a> in the Premier League after another suspect display among many in the Spaniard\u2019s Chelsea career, in the defeat to Arsenal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way I work with goalkeepers, I don\u2019t have an outright No.1,\u201d Rosenior<\/a> insisted when asked why Jorgensen came in for the Villa clash. \u201cI want competition in every area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanchez was back in the team for the victory over Wrexham to further sully the No.1 waters, but Jorgensen\u2019s return for PSG here suggests he is now \u2013 briefly, by the look of him \u2013 the man in possession, as fellow Dane Peter Schmeichel delighted in confirming to expose Rosenior\u2019s happy-clappy hippie selection free-for-all as nonsense.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy information, I\u2019m told that Rosenior has directly told Jorgensen he is now the number 1 goalkeeper,\u201d Schmeichel said. And for 74 minutes that vote of confidence looked to have done the 23-year-old some good.<\/p>\n

He made a couple of smart saves to deny Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola, showed excellent composure on a couple of occasions to dummy pressing PSG players and played some neat passes, too. But in this Champions League matchweek of goalkeeping gaffe one-upmanship featuring 17 minutes of Antonin Kinsky<\/a> and then 90+ minutes of Gianluigi Donnarumma in Madrid, Jorgensen staked his claim for d*ck of the week by attempting a pass there was very obviously no angle for.<\/p>\n

Barcola cut it out, the ball popped up and Vitinha lobbed the Chelsea goalkeeper at a point in the game when the visitors had reached a level of comfort not dissimilar to that which they experienced against the reigning European champions on their way to becoming Champions Of The World<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chelsea had come from behind twice to level the game at 2-2, with Malo Gusto and then Enzo Fernandez responding to goals from Barcola and Dembele, and PSG looked short of ideas and energy before Jorgensen\u2019s blunder handed the lead to Luis Enrique\u2019s side on a plate and triggered a momentum shift in the tie that the Blues are now very unlikely to recover from.<\/p>\n

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia did a typical wriggle on the edge of the box before whipping a glorious shot with no backlift into the corner and then finished off a wonderful team goal featuring one-touch passing, a back heel on the touchline and an excellent cross from Achraf Hakimi.<\/p>\n

Five PSG goals from an xG 0.83 is frankly unfair and there were several moments in the game that illustrated the knife edge it was balanced upon, not least Dembele scoring his goal roughly ten seconds after Cole Palmer had been denied by Matvei Safonov at the other end. But the clear difference at this very highest of all levels is the way in which mistakes are routinely punished.<\/p>\n

Joe Cole insisted \u201cit didn\u2019t feel like a 5-2 game\u201d and Owen Hargreaves said that \u201cfor a young team they showed real courage\u201d. But at some stage, which might even have passed already in the minds of many Chelsea fans, the youth excuse isn\u2019t going to fly.<\/p>\n

Jorgensen\u2019s error will make the headlines but Barcola shouldn\u2019t have been allowed so much space for the opener, they left themselves far too open to the counter-attack for Dembele\u2019s goal, Reece James gave the ball away for the fourth and Rosenior should take his fair share of the blame for that goal and the fifth.<\/p>\n

Confusion replaced calm for Chelsea after he brought Romeo Lavia and Liam Delap on for Palmer and Joao Pedro to hold on at 3-2 and then Alejandro Garnacho on for Gusto to chase the game at 4-2. It created a situation where the Blues players didn\u2019t look as though they knew if they should be defending or attacking and were caught in the middle against a PSG side that smelt blood amid the doubt in that last ten minutes and took full advantage.<\/p>\n

The frustration felt by all the Chelsea players was exhibited by Fernandez when he was seen \u201chaving a real go\u201d at Jorgensen for another lax pass in the latter stages and by Pedro Neto, who \u201cdidn\u2019t quite pull an Eden Hazard on Charlie Morgan\u201d at Swansea but did shove a ball boy to the ground before he \u201capologised like 35 times\u201d.<\/p>\n

Rosenior \u201cdidn\u2019t see it\u201d just as he doesn\u2019t see any moments of controversy but did insist that in the second leg \u201cwe need to put it right after 15 to 20 minutes of madness.\u201d<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a difference between saying you \u201ctake responsibility\u201d for your players as he did once again and actually doing so. He should have fessed up to his contribution to the madness, and as he will continue to insist of his players, \u201cnot make the same mistake twice\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liam Rosenior hit out at his Chelsea players for \u201c15-20 minutes of madness\u201d which saw them throw the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":341632,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[6898,3708,10287,914,42,127397,43,141538,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-341631","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-chelsea","9":"tag-f365-features","10":"tag-f365-says","11":"tag-front-page","12":"tag-headlines","13":"tag-liam-rosenior","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-pedro-neto","16":"tag-top-news","17":"tag-top-stories","18":"tag-topnews","19":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=341631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/341632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=341631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=341631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=341631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
