Blues' new boss wants to hit the ground running

Liam Rosenior knows time is not on his side as he begins transforming Chelsea from English Premier League underachievers to title contenders, and the 41-year-old has made clear to his squad that he intends to hit the ground running.
-
Rosenior, who replaced Italian Enzo Maresca, joined Chelsea on Jan 6 from Strasbourg and will take charge of his first game on Jan 10 when the London club travel to Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup third round.
The Englishman was in the stands on Jan 7 as Chelsea were beaten 2-1 by Fulham, a defeat which left them eighth with one win from their last nine league games.
"For this opportunity to come up at this stage of my career is great, but my biggest focus is not about being Chelsea manager, it’s about being a winning Chelsea manager," Rosenior told Sky Sports ahead of the game at Craven Cottage.
"That is the message I gave the players yesterday when I was fortunate enough to meet them for the first time. We need to hit the ground running for the rest of the season."
