Sky Sports’ Paul Merson spoke about Premier League managers, including Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior, in a recent column.
The Blues recorded their fourth successive defeat in all competitions after losing 3-0 to Everton on Saturday. chelsea They are six points behind the top four and one point behind Liverpool, with a group emerging behind them.
Meanwhile, it was another tough weekend igor tudor to tottenham. They lost 3-0 to Nottingham Forest, who overtook them in the Premier League table.
This means Tottenham have dropped to 17th place and could be in the relegation zone by the time of their next game, against Sunderland, live on Sky Sports on April 12.
and Newcastle president Eddie Howe They face further scrutiny after being knocked out of the Champions League following last Sunday’s derby loss to Sunderland.
Read Magic Man’s thoughts on the managers of Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle below…
‘Chelsea players are not in the same position as Rosenior’
It hasn’t been a good month for Chelsea’s Liam Rosenior. That’s four games on the trot in which they have been batted. They can’t win a single game.
There is a way to lose a football game and it was a terrible, terrible sight at Everton. It didn’t seem to me like the players were actually on the same level as the manager.
If Arne Slott is sacked by Liverpool this week or Eddie Howe leaves Newcastle, will Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior get one of these two jobs?
Let me tell you one more thing. Will that person be interviewed? It is madness.
This Chelsea team is no match for the fans who have put Rosenior under pressure from day one.
But whatever the board’s plan, Rosenior will likely feel he needs to finish in the top five to be happy.
‘I’m really worried about Tottenham’
I was at Wembley on Sunday for the Carabao Cup final, where I watched Spurs play. Oh my.
Tottenham were initially ahead and would have gone on to win if they had scored. But they didn’t, and they did what they became famous for this season. They let one in and surrendered.
Spurs being relegated is more believable today than ever. Last week, they achieved a result against Liverpool, who had performed poorly that day, and later won against Atletico Madrid.
A thought suddenly occurs to you: If they play like this they will be fine and have no chance of collapsing. But fast forward to next Sunday: wow. wow.
This is really worrying for Tottenham. I’m really worried. And if they end up in the bottom three – and they could before the next play – it’s going to be difficult for them.
They will next travel to Sunderland where they will be reunited with their fans after their derby victory. Then, it is Brighton who is playing better than anyone else right now.
Spurs also have two games remaining against Chelsea. They don’t want to go where they need points. Because it’s Chelsea’s biggest game of the season.
And watch West Ham play. They have wolves in the house, that’s nonsense. They also play Crystal Palace in between Palace’s Europa Conference League match against Fiorentina, so West Ham could win.
And on the final day of the season, we play at home to Leeds. You couldn’t write that, could you?
‘Howe shouldn’t be under pressure at Newcastle’
I laughed when I heard Eddie Howe was under pressure at Newcastle. Last season, he won his first trophy with the club since I was born.
How much did the club spend on the window? Newcastle lost Alexander Isaac and brought in two centre-forwards who weren’t very good.
I couldn’t sign a contract with Yoane Wissa at that time. He only had one or two good seasons at Brentford. When you pay that kind of money for someone, that player needs to be paid more consistently.
They too were injured. They have one of the three best midfielders in Bruno Guimaras, Joelinton and Sandro Tonali. How many times have they played together?
