“I have warned Calum McFarlane about that particular player, he refused to bench him, He keeps causing problems to the teams, He made Chelsea lost Against FULHAM for the second time in a row”: Former Chelsea Star Eden Hazard names ONE player who doesn’t deserve to start for Chelsea, warned interim Coach Calum McFarlane and incoming Coach Liam Rosenior about the unforgivable mistake

Chelsea’s erratic form was exposed yet again as they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Fulham at Craven Cottage, with incoming head coach Liam Rosenior observing from the stands as long-standing weaknesses re-emerged.

 

Though Rosenior had not officially assumed his duties, he was in attendance to witness a display that provided both fleeting promise and a stark illustration of the challenges awaiting him.

 

Chelsea started positively and circulated possession with assurance during the opening exchanges, indicating that the attacking talent within the squad remains evident.

 

Fulham, however, appeared content to soak up pressure and posed a genuine threat whenever Chelsea’s organization or focus wavered.

 

The complexion of the match changed dramatically midway through the opening period when Marc Cucurella was dismissed for bringing down Harry Wilson as the winger burst clear toward goal.

 

Playing with ten men made Chelsea’s challenge considerably more demanding, and their ongoing issues with discipline were thrust into the spotlight once more.

 

Fulham gained control following the sending-off and began capitalizing on the gaps created by Chelsea’s reorganized defensive structure.

 

The home side seized the initiative shortly after the interval when Raul Jimenez directed a powerful header past Robert Sanchez from an accurate delivery into the box.

 

Chelsea tried to respond by adopting a deeper defensive posture and looking to strike on the counter, but their execution in crucial moments continued to lack consistency.

 

Despite being a man down, they clawed their way back into contention through sheer determination and effort.

 

Liam Delap hauled them level when he reacted fastest to a loose ball following a corner, forcing it home after Fulham’s defenders failed to deal with the danger.

 

The equalizer temporarily silenced the home support and suggested Chelsea might salvage a draw from difficult circumstances.

 

That optimism proved fleeting as Fulham maintained their pressure with greater purpose and attacking sharpness.

 

Wilson, who had been a persistent threat throughout the encounter, put Fulham back in front with a composed finish after seizing upon a loose ball inside the area.

 

Chelsea dropped deeper once more after conceding, lacking both the composure and vision needed to fashion a meaningful comeback.

 

Discontent became audible among the traveling supporters, with chants aimed at the ownership reflecting broader frustration with the club’s trajectory.

 

From his seat, Rosenior was afforded an unvarnished perspective of a team susceptible to disciplinary lapses and dramatic shifts in momentum.

 

Fulham, in contrast, appeared well-drilled, assured, and increasingly at ease when facing more illustrious opponents.

 

Their triumph draws them level on points with Chelsea and highlights the consistent improvement being achieved under Marco Silva’s management.

 

For Chelsea, the loss prolongs a worrying sequence of results and emphasizes the magnitude of the challenge confronting their new boss.

 

Rosenior departs Craven Cottage with a clear understanding of the problems requiring immediate attention if Chelsea are to establish stability and find their rhythm.
