Liam Rosenior has problems to fix at Chelsea - what's on his to-do list after Fulham defeat?

Liam Rosenior was back at his old club Fulham as he watched Chelsea in action

New Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior arrived with optimism, but Wednesday's 2-1 defeat at Fulham underlined the scale of the task ahead.

The 41-year-old described his appointment as "one of the proudest moments of his life", yet the reality was clear as Chelsea dropped out of the Premier League top five for the first time since August.

Sitting in the directors' box alongside co-owner Behdad Eghbali and members of the sporting leadership team, Rosenior watched as the side he has inherited slipped to eighth.

He replaced Enzo Maresca after the Italian fell out with the Blues hierarchy, with Rosenior joining from French club Strasbourg who share Chelsea's owners.
