Comeback win over West Ham sixth in seven games
‘Fans were magnificent. I would have booed in first half’
Liam Rosenior said he hopes his appointment as head coach will eventually be seen as the best decision Chelsea have ever made.
Although Rosenior has won six of his first seven games since replacing Enzo Maresca earlier this month, the mood in the stands has been far from positive. Many fans are unhappy with the club’s owners and Stamford Bridge felt mutinous when Chelsea were 2-0 down at home to West Ham on Saturday.
The atmosphere shifted when Chelsea mounted a stirring comeback, levelling through two goals from João Pedro before snatching victory with a stoppage-time winner from Enzo Fernández. Yet the unease is palpable. Rosenior, who has never had a job of this stature before, accepts that part of his task is to get supporters onside.
