Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior insists he is not under pressure despite back-to-back home defeats at Stamford Bridge.
Rosenior made the remarks after Chelsea’s 1–0 loss to Manchester United, with Matheus Cunha scoring the decisive goal.
The result marks Chelsea’s second straight home defeat, following a 3–0 loss to Manchester City in their previous outing.
While United boss Michael Carrick described the victory as “deserved,” Rosenior pointed to his side’s lack of luck as a key factor in the defeat.
“We had wave after wave of attack and hit the woodwork I think four times. I don’t want my team to feel things are against us. We have to keep fighting.”

“At the moment any small mistake we are making and the ball ends up in the back of our net and that has to change. No [I don’t feel under pressure]. I put myself under the most pressure” Rosenior said to the BBC.
