Liam Rosenior admitted Chelsea are in a “difficult place” after Sunday’s dismal 3-0 defeat against Manchester City piled pressure on the Blues boss.

Rosenior’s side conceded three times in the second half at Stamford Bridge as Nico O’Reilly, Marc Guehi and Jeremy Doku netted for title-chasing City.

Chelsea are languishing in sixth place in the Premier League, four points behind fifth-placed Liverpool in the race for a top-five finish.

With their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League hanging by a slender thread, Rosenior is facing pointed questions about Chelsea’s struggles since he arrived from Strasbourg to replace Enzo Maresca in January.

Chelsea have lost five of their last six games in all competitions, including three in a row in the Premier League.

In those three league defeats Chelsea have failed to score and Rosenior said they had fallen well short of the standards he demands.
