reportedly maintains the \u2018full confidence\u2019 of Chelsea\u2019s hierarchy despite the side\u2019s wretched run of results.<\/p>\n<p>The 41-year-old\u2019s position as manager has come under increasing scrutiny in recent weeks, with the Blues winning just one of their last eight matches in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>After some early signs of encouragement under Rosenior, Chelsea have dropped to sixth in the Premier League table with the ex-Strasbourg boss at the helm and are at risk of missing out of Champions League qualification for next season.<\/p>\n<p>A pair of heavy defeats to Paris Saint-Germain, either side of a 1-0 loss at home to Newcastle, piled the pressure on Rosenior entering Saturday\u2019s clash with Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>But things went from bad to worse for Rosenior as Beto struck twice \u2013 the second coming from a woeful Robert Sanchez mistake \u2013 to give the Toffees a two-goal advantage with 30 minutes remaining on Merseyside.<\/p>\n<p>Iliman Ndiaye increased the deficit with an emphatic strike beyond Robert Sanchez in the 76th minute and hosts Everton held firm to emerge 3-0 victors and move up to eighth in the English top flight.<\/p>\n<p>The result leaves Chelsea one point behind fourth-placed Liverpool, who also faltered in a 2-1 loss to Brighton in Saturday\u2019s lunchtime kick-off.<\/p>\n<div

Rosenior arrived in the middle of the season, not having any pre-season,\u2019 he went on.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is not a squad built for Liam Rosenior so obviously there are some points to be considered

I always will. I take responsibility for that lapse in concentration, but that\u2019s what it is,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That\u2019s happened too many times in my time recently for me not to tell the truth as it is.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For me, we arrived into the final third a lot. We had an edgy start in terms of cheap giveaways that we gave away, then we managed to gain control of the game and were in their half, and we were arriving and creating moments which we don\u2019t take.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We\u2019re not clinical enough. Then, out of nowhere, it feels like out of nowhere, they score. It\u2019s not the first time that that\u2019s happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What happens in football, if you are in a run, a difficult run of games against big teams, your energy levels and your confidence levels can drop if the other team score first. That\u2019s what happened. [Jordan] Pickford makes a world-class save at 1-0.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Then we come out in the second half and have control of the game. Then we make a mistake and they\u2019re 2-0 up. It gives them even more energy. It\u2019s about flow and momentum.
