“Incredible coach and an incredible person” – Chelsea player raves about Liam Rosenior

One Chelsea player is seemingly very happy that Liam Rosenior is his new head coach at the club going off his latest comments.

We are just getting ready to welcome Arsenal to Stamford Bridge tonight in the first leg of the League Cup semi final for the 8pm kick off later on.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea have been offered the chance to sign a former Premier League midfielder!

And one player who seems quite likely to be starting the game later is striker Liam Delap, someone who Rosenior knows very well, having worked together at Hull City when Delap was on loan there and Rosenior was the manager.

Delap will know Rosenior better than any of his team mates do, having shared good relations with him when he was his boss previously, and the former Ipswich Town striker has been raving about his current manager this week.

‘He’s an incredible coach and an incredible person,’ Delap replied when asked about working under Rosenior at Hull, who we will face in this season’s FA Cup fourth round.

‘I spent a year with him and I think his ideas, his philosophy and how he wants to play football will really suit us and help us. Especially me and a lot of the young boys he helped at Hull, he really helped us progress, and we’re all doing really well.

‘I really like his management style. As a person, he’s one of the nicest but can be brutally honest at times. I think as a coach, you need to be that. He will tell you why you’re not playing, he’ll tell you where you need to improve, and he’ll tell you where you’re doing well.

‘He’s really honest and if you build that trust with him and his staff, then it will help you. Liam’s honesty is really important.’

Liam Rosenior seems to suggest that Cole Palmer will not be playing against Arsenal tonight as he tries to manage his minutes after a recent long term injury.

My colleague has also written something on Palmer and says that Rosenior has a big task ahead of him if he doesn’t fix one thing with the England international.
