In the 90+3 minute, from a corner kick, Zian Flemming comfortably headed in the equalizer for Burnley. Prior to this moment, instead of marking the 1,85 m tall forward, Chelsea players focused on other targets.

"A marking assignment was not carried out," Rosenior said angrily after the match on 21/2. "One player was assigned that task, but he marked the wrong opponent."

The Chelsea coach did not name the player who made the error. He publicly addressed the mistake for his players to learn from it and play with more focus. "I am not here to blame any player. I will always protect my players and will deal with this issue during the week," Rosenior stated.

In the recent match, Joao Pedro opened the scoring in the 4th minute. However, Chelsea failed to capitalize on their lead to extend the advantage and secure three points. From the 72nd minute, they played with 10 men after Wesley Fofana received a red card.

The draw against Burnley was Chelsea's second consecutive dropped points, following a 2-2 draw with Leeds on 10/2. Rosenior's team could pay a heavy price for this slip-up. Man Utd could take Chelsea's 4th position and create a three-point gap if they win against Everton on 23/2. Liverpool could also close the gap with Chelsea if they defeat Nottingham Forest.

"We have dropped 4 points from two home matches. For a club at this level, playing better is not enough. I am learning more about the players, about those I can rely on when things do not go as planned and when we need to finish a game. That requires very quick decisions," Rosenior added.

Rosenior has managed Chelsea since 8/1, after his predecessor Enzo Maresca was dismissed. Before the two recent draws, he led Chelsea to 4 consecutive Premier League wins against Brentford, Crystal Palace, West Ham, and Wolves. In the next round on 1/3, they will visit league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Before joining Chelsea, Rosenior guided Strasbourg to a 7th-place finish in Ligue 1 last season and led their Conference League group this season. Strasbourg and Chelsea share the same owner, BlueCo, a group controlled by billionaire Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
