Genius or obvious? Rosenior's subs inspire Chelsea comeback win

Genius or obvious
Media caption, Rosenior hails second-half full of 'heart, fight and spirit'

It has been some start to life as a Premier League manager for Liam Rosenior.

Saturday's thrilling comeback win against West Ham was Chelsea's third league win in a row since the 41-year-old replaced Enzo Maresca at the start of January.

And, in one of his biggest tests to date, it was his drastic half-time substitutions that led to the Blues recovering from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and moved them into the top four.

After making seven changes from their midweek Champions League win in Napoli, a limp first-half display allowed relegation-threatened West Ham to deservedly take control.

But, making three half-time changes, Rosenior inspired a comeback in which substitutes Marc Cucurella and Joao Pedro hauled Chelsea level with a goal apiece - before Enzo Fernandez's dramatic stoppage-time winner.

Criticism can be levelled at Chelsea for a poor first half in which they were booed off, fully deserved to be two goals down, and raised further questions about the quality of their squad.

After the match, Rosenior played down the importance of his substitutions, instead crediting the mentality of the players since his arrival.

"My biggest learning is there's a spirit and a fight and a resilience in this group that I really, really like," he said. "I've demanded that from the first day of stepping in.

"We haven't had many training sessions, but we've spoken about reacting positively to setbacks.

We've spoken about reactions to losing the ball, pressing, energy, intensity. All of that was there in the second half, which wasn't there in the first half. I don't put that just down to the changes I made.

Overall, Rosenior's early reign, now four weeks old, has been characterised by grinding out results and impactful in‑game adjustments.

His predecessor Maresca ended his tenure after a breakdown in relations with the ownership and having dropped a league‑high 15 points from winning positions - prompting frequent criticism of his mid-match decisions.

Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Liam Rosenior went back to not exactly Chelsea's best team, but what Chelsea knew and the system they feel comfortable in. It now feels like tactical genius because they have won."

There will be questions about whether Rosenior got his starting XI wrong, having made wholesale changes from the 3-2 win at Napoli.

Chelsea's entire left side - Alejandro Garnacho, Jorrel Hato and Benoit Badiashile - could arguably be blamed for Jarrod Bowen's opening goal and Crysencio Summerville's second for West Ham.

All three were taken off at half-time, despite an enforced earlier change when Jamie Gittens was replaced by Pedro Neto midway through the first half.

Rosenior said: "The individuals came off and then people will look at them. That wasn't on them. There was a collective poor performance in the first half.

Those players know with me, I make early changes. It doesn't mean that all of a sudden they're out of my thoughts at all.

Early changes have become one of the defining characteristics of Rosenior's management at Chelsea, as was also the case at sister club Strasbourg, which is likewise owned by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.

Against Brentford, early substitutions helped Chelsea protect a narrow lead before a late goal secured a 2-0 victory in his first league match.

Despite a poor performance on Saturday, Garnacho has credit in the bank after scoring two goals from the bench against Arsenal in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, while Cole Palmer set up Joao Pedro twice as a substitute in Naples.

Joao Pedro highlighted in his Sky Sports interview that Chelsea have a "strong squad", while ex-Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp added after Saturday's win: "If you ask every single Chelsea fan, it was the easiest set of substitutions you'll ever have to make."

There is depth in terms of numbers, but changes such as Cucurella, Joao Pedro, Wesley Fofana, Neto and eventually Reece James - all among Chelsea's strongest performers - were always likely to influence the match when introduced from the bench.

However, it has proven challenging to keep Chelsea competitive when resting players.

It was a criticism Maresca made of the squad after a 3-1 defeat by Leeds when, like Rosenior against West Ham, he rotated heavily. He said that players such as Andrey Santos and Tosin Adarabioyo were not at the "level" of his first-choice starters.

Former Chelsea goalkeeper Rob Green echoed that view on BBC Radio 5 Live, saying: "Rosenior righted the wrongs in the second half, but he's got the same problems now as Enzo Maresca.

The players who are not in the starting XI are so far off the starting XI. So he'll be delighted, but also at the back of his mind, he's got a problem.

Rosenior is just the fourth English manager to win his first three Premier League games.

He has won six of his first seven matches in all competitions and has overseen Chelsea's first comeback from two goals down to win a Premier League match.

Those results have propelled the Blues to fourth place while competing on four fronts domestically and in Europe.

They will need another comeback win at Arsenal on Tuesday in the second leg of their League Cup semi‑final (20:00 GMT), having lost the first leg 3-2 at Stamford Bridge.
