Garnacho is causing frustration again.

Alejandro Garnacho's mistake not only cost Chelsea dearly, but also triggered a wave of criticism directed at manager Liam Rosenior.

Garnacho has been a disappointment at Chelsea.

On March 15th, a 0-1 defeat to Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge pushed Chelsea out of the top five, in a match where they were not outplayed. However, a single moment of lapse in concentration decided everything.

The turning point came from a pressing error by Garnacho. The Argentinian player rushed forward to press but failed to block the pass into the center. Tino Livramento easily set up Jacob Murphy, before the ball was crossed in for Anthony Gordon to score the only goal.

Analyzing the situation on television, legend Thierry Henry pointed out Garnacho's clear mistake. According to him, the player needed to move in an arc to intercept the pass, instead of pressing directly and leaving space. "You shouldn't let the ball go into the middle in that situation," Henry emphasized.

In this match, Garnacho didn't leave much of an impression, often showing a lack of chemistry with Marc Cucurella on the left wing. His inconsistent performance, limited finishing effectiveness, and lackluster performance in big matches have made him a target of criticism on social media.

Garnacho's pressing led to Chelsea's goal conceded.

Furthermore, criticism also focused on Liam Rosenior. Cameras captured the moment the Chelsea manager turned his back on the pitch when his team conceded a goal. This image displeased Henry.

"I understand the feeling of disappointment. But this isn't a training ground for rework. If a player makes a mistake, the coach has to react immediately. He didn't even look at what happened," said the former French star.

Conversely, Rosenior admitted the team had tactical problems. He argued that Chelsea's pressing style was different, but the players weren't maintaining their positions in crucial situations.

Chelsea effectively controlled the game and forced their opponents to play long balls for much of the match. However, a lack of precision at crucial moments led to them dropping points again. Another defeat, and the pressure is mounting on Rosenior. If the situation doesn't improve, Rosenior is at serious risk of being sacked.
