The Blues find themselves fighting on all fronts still. A semi-final first leg clash with Arsenal awaits this week, in what is a good opportunity for Rosenior to win some silverware. <\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t stop there either, with a clash against David Luiz\u2019s Pafos the following Wednesday for the return of the Champions League. <\/p>\n
As is the case with any Chelsea manager, Liam Rosenior will be under immediate pressure<\/a> to perform and get the likes of Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and other big names on his side.<\/p>\n Liam Rosenior is unproven in the Premier League \ud83d\ude2c <\/p>\n Derby \u2013 12 games, 58% WIN<\/p>\n Hull City \u2013 78 games, 35% WIN<\/p>\n Strasbourg \u2013 63 games, 49% WIN<\/p>\n Are Chelsea making a mistake in bringing him over from Strasbourg? <\/p>\n \ud83d\udc47 Join the debate; share your insight. Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say <\/p>\n Jamie Redknapp is a big fan of Marc Cucurella<\/p>\n Marc Cucurella<\/a> is one of the players who needs to step up under Liam Rosenior. His performances have been solid, but it\u2019s silly decisions like the red card incident against Fulham that have been holding the Blues back this season. <\/p>\n The fact that Cucurella was involved in a leadership meeting<\/a> prior to Fulham about keeping standards high certainly isn\u2019t a good look for the defender.<\/p>\n However, Jamie Redknapp likes what he sees from the defender, putting his rash decision-making at times to one side.<\/p>\n He spoke on the Sky Sports Premier League<\/a> YouTube channel.<\/p>\n \u201cCucurella has been amazing. I really like him. You know, he\u2019s one of those players if he played for your team, you would love him as a fan, you would love him. He\u2019s won all the Chelsea fans over.\u201d<\/p>\n Redknapp was then asked, \u201cWould you hate to play against him?\u201d<\/p>\n He responded.<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, lucky enough I didn\u2019t play right wing, but he would be an absolute nuisance when he\u2019s a pest, doesn\u2019t he? Let\u2019s be honest. You know, he kicks you, he fouls you, but very, very good, you know, and he\u2019s done a great job at Chelsea.\u201d<\/p>\n Discussion: Who is the actual best player at Chelsea right now? \ud83d\udc47 <\/p>\n Moises Caicedo is definitely up there!<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc47 Join the debate; share your insight. Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say <\/p>\n Jorrel Hato has a chance against Charlton Athletic<\/p>\n The biggest challenge for Cucurella isn\u2019t just fitting into the new system; it\u2019s the competition from Jorrel Hato<\/a>. <\/p>\n Hato signed for \u00a336m from Ajax, but has struggled to enjoy regular minutes at Chelsea, with Marc Cucurella being the preferred left-back under Enzo Maresca. <\/p>\n![\"Liam](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2243511394-1024x683.jpg\")
