Chelsea have been advised to sack Liam Rosenior after their latest defeat by the hands of Premier League rivals Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Rosenior\u2019s side kept title-chasing Man City at bay in the primary half of Sunday\u2019s clash at Stamford Bridge but conceded three second-half goals to slide to a fifth defeat in five games.<\/p>\n

City\u2019s Carabao Cup final hero Nico O\u2019Reilly broke the deadlock with a header shortly after the restart before Marc Guehi doubled the visitors\u2019 lead with a crisp finish.<\/p>\n

The full of life Jeremy Doku added a 3rd for Manchester City, who closed the gap to Premier League leaders Arsenal to simply six points following the Gunners\u2019 defeat at home to Bournemouth earlier within the weekend.<\/p>\n

Chelsea enjoyed a promising begin to Rosenior\u2019s tenure after the previous Strasbourg manager replaced Enzo Maresca within the Stamford Bridge hot-seat.<\/p>\n

However the Blues were embarrassed by PSG within the Champions League before the international break and only one win of their last seven games has seen them slip to sixth within the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are 4 points behind fifth-placed Liverpool and 7 points outside the top-four places with six league games remaining.<\/p>\n

The Stamford Bridge hierarchy are willing to offer Rosenior more time to show things around in west London but World Cup winner Marco Materazzi believes they \u2018should make a change\u2019.<\/p>\n

Materazzi even urged Chelsea to try and hire Premier League legend Cesc Fabregas, who has impressed during his first managerial role at Italian side Como.<\/p>\n

Fabregas won two Premier League titles at Chelsea as a player after breaking through at London rivals Arsenal and likewise having fun with a successful spell at Barcelona.<\/p>\n

\u2018I used to be at Chelsea\u2019s game against Everton [a 3-0 defeat on March 21],\u2019 Materazzi told Hajper<\/a>. \u2018I used to be on the FIFA Club World Cup final.<\/p>\n

\u2018With Enzo Maresca, they were a very different team. What I saw in Liverpool was a simple game for Everton. Chelsea didn’t impress me.<\/p>\n

\u2018I believe they should change. They’re a young team and I don\u2019t know in the event that they have the most effective manager for what Chelsea need right away.<\/p>\n

\u2018They should try for Cesc Fabregas this summer. I really like the job he’s doing right away in Como. I don\u2019t know if he’ll move because he desires to take Como to the Champions League but I can see Chelsea in the longer term for Fabregas.<\/p>\n

\u2018Why not? Chelsea are the most effective club for Cesc Fabregas because they’ve young players who will follow his words immediately.\u2019<\/p>\n

Rosenior cut a frustrated figure after Chelsea\u2019s latest setback against Manchester City.<\/p>\n

\u2018We weren\u2019t ok within the second half,\u2019 the previous Premier League star said. \u2018We didn\u2019t start well.<\/p>\n

\u2018We had moments to clear the box and keep the ball, but we didn\u2019t. They were camped in our half for the primary five minutes after which we concede a goal.<\/p>\n

\u2018Then it\u2019s an analogous story for the past month now by way of coping with setbacks. In case you go down against teams nearly as good as this, what you might have to do for the subsequent five minutes is to remain in the sport.<\/p>\n

\u2018It ended up being a extremely, really difficult second half.\u2019<\/p>\n

Chelsea will look to get back to winning ways next Saturday once they welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
