Liam Rosenior insists he has Chelsea owners’ full backing despite a poor run of form, as pressure mounts in the race for Champions League qualification.

Liam Rosenior has insisted he retains the full backing of Chelsea’s ownership, even as the club endures a troubling run of results that has placed their season ambitions in jeopardy.

The Blues slipped to a fourth consecutive Premier League defeat with a narrow 1-0 loss to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, a result that has intensified scrutiny on both performances and leadership.

Chelsea currently sit sixth in the table with 48 points and just five games remaining, leaving their hopes of securing a Champions League spot hanging by a thread as rivals close the gap.

One of the most alarming aspects of their downturn has been a complete lack of cutting edge in attack, with the team failing to score in each of their last four league defeats.

The dip in form comes at a critical stage of the season, with Chelsea having once looked firmly in control of a top-five finish before their momentum collapsed in recent weeks.

Rosenior, who was appointed in January following the departure of Enzo Maresca, acknowledged the severity of the situation and accepted full responsibility for the team’s struggles.

Despite the growing pressure from supporters and increasing scrutiny from the media, he remains confident that the club’s long-term vision is intact, pointing to consistent support from the ownership group led by Todd Boehly.

Attention now turns to a crucial away fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion, where Chelsea must respond quickly.
