Chelsea's FA Cup semi-final victory over Leeds United is a good distraction for Blues fan and content creator Rory Jennings, who is finding the attitudes of current Chelsea players are not “sitting right” with him.
The west London outfit sacked manager Liam Rosenior last week, but managed to secure an FA Cup final place under interim head coach Calum McFarlane on Sunday.
Speaking on the latest episode of The Wayne Rooney Show, Jennings said: “What doesn’t sit comfortably with me is, the reason we’ve beaten Leeds United is because we showed heart, fight and tenacity. All of those words that should be natural for any football team, all of them were completely absent a few days ago when Liam Rosenior was manager.
"So something about this crop of players doesn't sit right with me, but it's hard for me to feel anything other than jubilant at the moment because beating Leeds is a dream come true."
Former Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney, said: “I’ve been there as a player when a manager’s been sacked and I’d felt sad, like I’m part of the problem and part of why they’ve been sacked.
"But I was watching the Chelsea players and I didn't seem to see that in them – there seemed to be a relief. I guess it happens, but that's where as a player you need to look at yourself as well."
On who should become Blues' next permanent boss, Jennings added: "The next manager who comes in after McFarlane has to be somebody who can unify Chelsea. I want someone who gets the club and knows the history and what the standards should be – I would have had John Terry now instead of McFarlane.
"I feel like the standout candidate now would be Cesc Fabregas but it won't happen. It's got Gary O'Neil written all over it."
