Chelsea's goal drought has reached alarming levels under Liam Rosenior, with the Blues failing to score despite having the most shots in the Premier League since mid-March. The 4-0 defeat to Manchester United marked their fourth loss in a row, dropping them to ninth in the table during Rosenior's tenure. The manager's robust defense of his record is increasingly at odds with mounting evidence of systemic issues.

While Rosenior claims his team has been 'dominant,' the statistics tell a different story. Chelsea's expected-goals total per shot ranks among the lowest in the league, indicating their chances lack quality. The team has hit the woodwork multiple times but struggles to penetrate defenses effectively. Perhaps most concerning is that every attacking player on the pitch against United has underperformed their expected goals throughout their Premier League careers, suggesting personnel rather than bad luck may be the root cause.

Meanwhile, Newcastle's defensive vulnerabilities continue to surface under Eddie Howe, with their 2-1 loss to Bournemouth exposing gaps left by their high-pressing style. Florian Wirtz's struggles at Liverpool also raise questions about whether the £116 million signing has adapted to the Premier League's intensity. As the season reaches its business end, these issues could prove decisive for clubs with Champions League ambitions.
