Pressure grows after defeat to Manchester United
‘People don’t want to hear me say how well we played’
Liam Rosenior admitted that Chelsea have a mountain to climb after a 1-0 defeat by Manchester United put another dent in their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
Matheus Cunha scored the only goal as United tightened their grip on third place by overcoming their defensive problems at Stamford Bridge, heaping the pressure on Rosenior after a dismal run.
Chelsea are four points off fifth-placed Liverpool, who have a chance to pull clear when they face Everton on Sunday afternoon, and were toothless against a makeshift defence. They need a response when they visit Brighton on Tuesday but have lost four straight league games without scoring for the first time since 1998.
