Fernandez fires Chelsea to FA Cup final showdown with Manchester City
Liam Rosenior's thoughts would have been worth a lot more than a penny as Chelsea's triumphant players took the acclaim of their supporters inside Wembley after reaching the FA Cup final.
Chelsea's 1-0 win against a disappointing Leeds United showed much of the best of a talented group of players - but also some of the worst given their desperate efforts that led to Rosenior being shown the door after only 106 days.
If Rosenior was watching this scrappy semi-final, decided by Enzo Fernandez's first-half header, he would be right to question where all that fight and determination on show at Wembley were when he was at the helm.
These are the basics any head coach should be able to take as a given, but were absent under Rosenior during a desperate run of five league losses without scoring, a fate that had not befallen Chelsea since 1912.
