Liam Rosenior can expect to be sacked by Chelsea.
That is the view of Tim Sherwood, who has described the under-fire manager's tactics during Tuesday's 3-0 defeat to Brighton as "embarrassing" while acting as a pundit for Sky Sports’ coverage of the game.
The defeat - Chelsea's seventh in their last eight games - leaves with facing a huge task to qualify for next season's Champions League after dropping to seventh in the Premier League table.
Rosenior slammed his players' "indefensible" display on the south coast after a performance which leaves him on the brink of being sacked a little over three months since his appointment.
"It was a team playing against a bunch of individuals who had no spirit, no character," Sherwood told Sky Sports.
"I’ve just watched them at the end going up to the Chelsea fans, half of them had already left the stadium probably 20 minutes ago, it was done and dusted after the second goal went in.
"They played five at the back in the first half, it was embarrassing the amount of room Brighton had, second half was a little bit better at the start.
"[Rosenior] was lucky at half-time it was only one [goal down], Garnacho came on and gave more in forward areas but as soon as they got the second goal with Hinshelwood [it was over].
"I don’t like saying it but there are demonstrations there and flags out against BlueCo, he will not survive this, Liam Rosenior will not survive this, unfortunately for him.
"It’s a real tough job for any manager to go in there and change the environment because these Chelsea fans have been brought up winning trophies, the biggest trophies, with the biggest players. It’s a development club."
