Rosenior must 'go for the kill', says Melchiot
[Getty Images] Former Chelsea defender Mario Melchiot believes Liam Rosenior has to do more to try to win matches instead of slowing down the game. The Blues currently sit sixth and have lost three straight Premier League games under Rosenior after an impressive unbeaten run when he first joined the club. Speaking on BBC 5 Live Breakfast, Melchiot said: "The situation for the coach is everyone can talk about it, but when you take a ship that you have to readjust because you're a new coach, you have a different way of looking at things.
"When he started, it was always going to be difficult and now also because you're watching a team like Chelsea, they have to go all the way. [Mauricio] Pochettino had that at the end, you were saying they have to go and win games. Then [Enzo] Maresca came and he went all the way with this team, and he said, 'no, we have to finish games off'.
"When I look now at Rosenior, he has to do the same thing, he has to go for the kill. You cannot always struggle and slow things down and wait. You've got to be really penetrating.
If you don't do that, this is where Chelsea's biggest weakness is now. They've got to score goals, and instead of looking good, you've got to be good. "
