The frustration from supporters is understandable, given Chelsea have now lost their past four Premier League games without scoring - their joint-longest run since November 1912.

Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior admitted his side face a "mountain to climb" in their pursuit of Champions League qualification, after the latest 1-0 loss to United left them four points off the top five, having played a game more. Failure to qualify would be viewed internally as a disappointment, with the club at risk of falling short of the minimum target set before the season under former head coach Enzo Maresca. Missing out would mean a loss of key revenue and prestige, and would mark the third time in four seasons Chelsea have failed to qualify since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital completed their takeover in 2022.

Much of the criticism had focused on the defence, goalkeeping and the squad's age profile - but it is now the attack that is under scrutiny. Chelsea have gone almost six and a half hours without a goal in the league. Rosenior's swift appointment from partner club Strasbourg was one of the reasons ultras from the French side joined the protest alongside Chelsea supporters, with supporters of both clubs arguing they have been negatively affected by the January decision.

For Chelsea , however, the recriminations are widening, with Liverpool four points ahead with a game in hand and rivals Manchester United and Aston Villa looking increasingly difficult to catch. "It's not insurmountable but it gives us a mountain to climb and we have to go into Brighton with an idea that we have to win that game and kick-start the rest of our season," Rosenior said. The pressure is truly on with five games remaining as the campaign unravels at a crucial juncture.

Cunha gives Man Utd win at Chelsea to boost Champions League hopes Is Rosenior in trouble? A few weeks ago, when the slump began, Rosenior pointed to the fact he had taken charge at Chelsea when they were eighth in the table and fourth in the recent form rankings. However, his side have dropped to ninth in the form table since his appointment and are set to fall further once all teams have played 33 matches.

It is a damaging return, particularly given Rosenior's calls for more time on the training pitch. Despite having free midweeks to prepare for his past two fixtures, Chelsea have still lost to Manchester City and Manchester United .
