It's been 114 years since Chelsea went on a losing streak this bad. They have lost five in a row in the league without scoring, after their 3-0 defeat to Brighton last night, for the first time since 1912. And the last time Chelsea lost five consecutive games was way back in 1993. Such form leaves the Blues in a bad position in the Premier League table, and Liam Rosenior in a worse position in the dugout.

The Chelsea away fans at Brighton chanted at Rosenior to "f*** off" and have consistently booed the team. So is this the end of the line for Rosenior after just three months in charge? Or can the 41-year-old still turn things around at Stamford Bridge? Chelsea will have to pay a massive fee to get rid of him if they decide to swing the axe. And the support for the manager is waning after an emergency meeting was called on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the situation.

In our latest Big Debate, we asked Express Sport's contributors - should Chelsea sack Rosenior? Here's what they said...

Charlie Malam - Yes. Is it brutal? Yes. Is it all his fault? No. But does that mean he's good enough to be Chelsea manager? Also, sadly, no, hence their worst run of goalless league form since 1912. Liam Rosenior hasn't been helped by BlueCo's daft transfer policy and financial mismanagement, or the raft of injuries and suspensions. And he's not a terrible coach, as some matches have shown. He's been subjected to some unfair ridicule, as David Brent as some of his comments have been.

But the 41-year-old also just isn't the right fit. It's sad but true. That the club gave Rosenior a six-year contract in the first place should see the responsible members of the board sacked too, to be honest. What an insane decision. It's all a big, big mess at Stamford Bridge at the minute. Major changes are needed above the manager for them to become a force again.

Amos Murphy - Yes. The only debate here should be about the framework surrounding Liam Rosenior's severance package. A managerial appointment that should've never happened to begin with, was never going to work when it did happen, and should be forgotten immediately when it inevitably ends in the near future. Sacking him before the weekend semi-final against Leeds might be their only chance of making it through to the final. What's that Calum McFarlane fella up to? At least he managed a draw against Pep Guardiola...

Abbie Meehan - No. Chelsea are on their fourth manager in three years and have spent over £1billion since 2023. They have brought in players, sacked them off, brought in managers and sacked them off too. Liam Rosenior definitely deserves more time in the hotseat at Stamford Bridge but with the club's track record in recent years, it doesn't look like they'll give the Englishman the time. What the Blues need right now is stability. Consistency in their starting XI, a long-term coaching staff and manager as well as a routine with their upcoming transfer windows. Whether they'll do that is another story.

Harry Brent - Yes. I usually lean toward patience, but the 3-0 defeat to Brighton felt terminal. Liam Rosenior is clearly a gifted coach - they were outstanding in the first leg against PSG, deserved more against Manchester United, and matched Manchester City for an hour. But tactical talent means nothing once you've lost the dressing room. The recurring late collapses and the fact that senior stars like Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella have lamented Enzo Maresca's departure, it's clear the squad doesn't believe in Rosenior's approach - and that many have simply checked out.

A manager cannot survive a lack of player commitment, regardless of how "unlucky" the underlying metrics may be. Crucially, moving on now forces the owners to confront the blind spots in their model. Rosenior was their definitive "project" hire; his failure should be the splash of water they need to re-examine their long-term strategy. Waiting until the summer only delays the inevitable and allows the rot to set in further. For the sake of the club's culture and the owners' accountability, a split is the only logical verdict.

Isaac Seelochan - Yes. I feel really sorry for Rosenior who seems to be a nice chap, but it's clear he's out of his depth at a club of this size and expectation. Chelsea should never have appointed him in the first place and need to correct their error as soon as possible. That means making the change now. They can't afford missing out on Europe - a very real fear for them right now. It would be harsh, but much of Chelsea's past success has been built on ruthless decisions. And if they do sack Rosenior now I wouldn't be at all shocked if they went on to win the FA Cup and secure at least a Europa League birth in the process.

Mark Whiley - Yes. Who'd have thought a man sacked by Derby and Hull wasn't the best fit for a dysfunctional Premier League basketcase that has spat out managers as often as it has wasted money!? Rosenior probably should get the boot. It's too big a job for a manager with his modest CV. That should have been obvious before he was even hired. But it can't always be the manager's fault, and this is a case in point. The Chelsea owner's desire for a compliant 'yes man' has bitten them on the backside, and deservedly so.

Patrick Austen-Hardy - No. Sacking Liam Rosenior before the end of the campaign will only make matters worse. When they sacked Graham Potter around this time, the Chelsea players threw the towel in and left Frank Lampard looking desperate. Rosenior started well at Chelsea, but the horrendous loss to Brighton must be an almighty wake-up call. An FA Cup triumph may earn him enough credit to carry on beyond this summer, but it's difficult to see that happening.

No new manager would want to take over the Blues right now. It's better to give Rosenior the chance to recover until the end of the season, regroup and see who is available in the summer. While they do that, the ownership and co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart must have a long old think about the billion-pound-plus 'project' which threatens to leave Chelsea in the bottom half for the second time in four seasons.

Jack McEachen - Yes. Should Chelsea sack Rosenior? Unfortunately the answer is yes. He is at a point where there is no coming back, already, with the dressing room turning on him and once owners start holding talks about replacing you, you may as well be one foot out the door. But he can only look at himself, despite Chelsea's failings above him.

Heading to Brighton with a flat 5-4-1 and Enzo Fernandez on the left wing was criminal. No matter what injuries have befallen him, that Chelsea team was set up to fail. You could argue that Rosenior has been too, with the squad at his disposal completely deprived of leadership and direction. Chelsea have bigger issues at hand, but removing Rosenior for an experienced hand would be a step in the right direction, albeit possibly too late to save this season.
