Tim Sherwood believes Chelsea will sack Liam Rosenior following the 3-0 defeat against Brighton on Tuesday night.
Brighton ran out deserved winners on the Amex Stadium with goals from Ferdi Kadioglu, Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck.
The defeat means Chelsea have now lost five league games without scoring a goal for the primary time since 1912.
In the course of the second half, Chelsea supporters chanted against the club’s BlueCo ownership and called for Rosenior’s sacking.
Chelsea have insisted that they don’t have any plans to dismiss Rosenior, nevertheless, Sherwood feels the 41-year-old will lose his job at Stamford Bridge.
‘It was a team playing against a bunch of people who had no spirit, no character,’ Sherwood told Sky Sports.
‘I’ve just watched them at the top going as much as the Chelsea fans, half of them had already left the stadium probably 20 minutes ago, it was done and dusted after the second goal went in.
‘They played five on the back in the primary half, it was embarrassing the quantity of room Brighton had, second half was just a little bit higher firstly.
‘He [Rosenior] was lucky at half time it was just one [goal], Garnacho got here on and gave more in forward areas but as soon as they got the second goal with Hinshelwood, we’re talking an academy player who played in each position on the pitch, he played full-back, he’s outstanding in that position, plays in midfield, he played as a No.10 tonight, he was outstanding.
‘I don’t like saying it but there are demonstrations there and flags out against BlueCo, he won’t survive this, Liam Rosenior won’t survive this, unfortunately for him.
‘It’s an actual tough job for any manager to go in there and alter the environment because these Chelsea fans have been brought up winning trophies, the most important trophies, with the most important players. It’s a development club.’
Sherwood also criticised Enzo Fernandez for his response towards Chelsea’s supporters after the ultimate whistle because the midfielder stood shrugging along with his arms out in front of fans on the Amex Stadium.
‘He desired to make a show, this isn’t someone who I desired to see with an armband on,’ Sherwood said.
‘He wants to go away the club. He stuck his chest out, he stood there, he made a stand, mate, make a stand when the sport is on, do something about it, lead your players, you’re a person who plays for himself.
‘He’s probably there talking to the coaching staff trying accountable everyone else around him, that ain’t what leaders do, they galvanise their teammates, they be certain that they’re organised, he has to know when he’s on that pitch what Liam Rosenior wants, and he has to attempt to implement it on the pitch for his manager.
‘They usually are not playing for his or her manager. Whether it’s him, Pochettino, Potter, Enzo Maresca, they throw all of them under the bus. The players need to have a look at themselves however the club needs to vary, you usually are not going to shift the mindset of those Chelsea fans.
‘Cucurella was poor tonight, Gusto was poor, the centre-backs usually are not adequate, whether it’s Fofana, Hato or Chalobah, they’re not adequate, the goalkeeper isn’t adequate. They need experienced players, no only in age but who’ve played a variety of games and know the Premier League, I would like to see leaders on that team just like the Chelsea of old.
‘This isn’t Chelsea Football Club, it’s nothing like I recognise from a Chelsea Football Club… terrible.’
