Appointed head coach on Tuesday, Liam Rosenior had no time to take a training session or lead the team into this match against Fulham, so he had to be content to watch from the directors' box. There were anti-ownership chants aimed towards those he was sitting next to, along with criticism of the sporting directors. It had been all smiles before the match as Rosenior spoke to his new squad after training on Tuesday before then travelling with them to Craven Cottage.
Appointed head coach on Tuesday, Liam Rosenior had no time to take a training session or lead the team into this match against Fulham, so he had to be content to watch from the directors' box.
However, what he will have seen and indeed heard will surely worry him.
There were anti-ownership chants aimed towards those he was sitting next to, along with criticism of the sporting directors.
It had been all smiles before the match as Rosenior spoke to his new squad after training on Tuesday before then travelling with them to Craven Cottage. He then did a television interview before the match before taking his seat.
Marc Cucurella's red card would have given him the realisation that Chelsea need guidance to avoid falling short of their goals this season.
Ill-discipline has been an obvious problem, and in the immediate aftermath of the red card there were yellows for dissent for Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez and Tosin Adarabioyo.
Five of Chelsea's red cards for players this season have come in the league, meaning they are one short of the most they have had in a single Premier League campaign - six in 2007-08 - and there are still 17 matches still to play.
