Trump, tactics and mid-season breaks: Liam Rosenior's Guardian columns

For Rosenior, the art of coaching is a familiar territory, one he has navigated with ease during his playing days as a Brighton defender. But what sets him apart from other aspiring managers is his willingness to share his thoughts on the game, tackling topics ranging from dead balls to Donald Trump. In this series of columns, we delve into Rosenior's opinions, offering a glimpse into the mind of a forward-thinking coach who is unafraid to speak his mind.

One of his earliest writings, published in 2017, was a poignant reflection on the treatment of Slaven Bilic by Brighton fans. The then-Brighton manager had endured a barrage of abuse and criticism during a game against West Ham, with Rosenior questioning whether he was cut out for the role. However, the coach's account also highlighted his humility and courtesy in the face of adversity, showcasing a leadership quality that is crucial for any football manager.

A year later, Rosenior turned his attention to the lack of diversity in coaching positions within English football. He argued that coaching is not just about knowing the game, but also about having empathy and engagement with players from different backgrounds. This stance demonstrates Rosenior's commitment to creating a more inclusive environment for underrepresented groups.

In another column, he extolled the virtues of midfield maestros like Michael Carrick, praising his exceptional ability to control the tempo of the game. For Rosenior, players who excel in this position are essential to any successful team.

Mid-season breaks also receive attention from Rosenior, who emphasizes their importance for rejuvenating physical capabilities and fostering a sense of camaraderie among players. This emphasis on teamwork and camaraderie is crucial for success in football.

Rosenior's most recent writings have been marked by his strong opinions on set pieces, particularly free kicks and corners. He believes that pragmatism and organization are key to unlocking success in these situations. This forward-thinking approach is a hallmark of Rosenior's coaching philosophy.

One of the most surprising columns is an open letter to Donald Trump, written during the height of controversy surrounding the US president's comments on black people. While his views may have been seen as divisive at the time, they reflect Rosenior's willingness to engage with complex issues and challenge prevailing narratives. Even if some readers may not share his opinions, it is clear that Rosenior is a coach who will not shy away from making tough decisions.

Overall, these columns offer a fascinating glimpse into Rosenior's thoughts on football, politics, and the world around him. As he prepares to take the reins at Chelsea, one thing is certain – fans can expect his signature blend of pragmatism, empathy, and forward thinking to shape the team's approach to the game.
 
I'm loving this new series about Graham Rosenior 😊. The guy's got a lot of guts for sharing his thoughts on everything from Slaven Bilic to Donald Trump 🀯. I mean, not everyone can just go and write an open letter to one of the most divisive figures in politics... it takes a big person to do that.

What really resonated with me is how he talks about empathy and engagement with players from different backgrounds. As someone who's passionate about social justice, it's so refreshing to see a coach prioritize inclusivity on the pitch 🌎. It's not just about winning games, it's about creating a culture of respect and understanding.

And I love how he breaks down complex issues into simple, accessible language. His columns are like little lessons in leadership and communication πŸ“š. Plus, his opinions might not always be popular, but that's what makes him so relatable – he's willing to take risks and challenge the status quo πŸ’₯.

Can't wait to see how this translates onto the pitch at Chelsea 🏟️!
 
I gotta say πŸ€”, I'm intrigued by this coach Rosenior guy... seems like a pretty open-minded dude, you know? But what really got me is how he tackles tough topics like racism and politics. I mean, writing an open letter to Donald Trump 🚫 was some bold move, but it's also super refreshing to see someone speaking their mind.

But let's get to the nitty-gritty... how much of this is just coaching philosophy or genuine insight? Some of these takes feel a bit... convenient? Like, praising Michael Carrick for being good at controlling tempo without actually saying what makes him special πŸ€”. And don't even get me started on set pieces πŸ˜‚.

Still, I gotta respect the guy's willingness to engage with complex issues and not play it safe. Maybe he'll bring a fresh perspective to Chelsea? Fingers crossed, right? πŸ’ͺ

But what really gets me excited is his emphasis on empathy and diversity in coaching πŸŒˆπŸ’¬. As someone who's always been a fan of innovative tech (like my latest fave, the new Meta Quest 3 πŸ€–), I love how Rosenior's thinking outside the box when it comes to football management.

What I find most inspiring is how Rosenior tries to bring people together through football. He's not just talking about winning games, he's talking about building a sense of community and camaraderie among players and staff. That's what gets me pumped for Chelsea FC πŸ†

but what's up with his columns on set pieces? free kicks and corners lol why does that even matter so much? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
πŸ€” I mean, it's refreshing to see someone with a different perspective on the game, Rosenior's opinions are always entertaining, even if you don't agree with them, which is often πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. His willingness to tackle tough topics like diversity and set pieces is admirable, but some of his columns can be a bit... much, I mean, an open letter to Trump? 😏 Still, it's nice to see someone who isn't afraid to speak their mind, even if that means ruffling a few feathers πŸŒͺ️. Chelsea fans are gonna have to adjust to a new style of play, and I'm curious to see how Rosenior's pragmatism will shape the team's approach πŸ’‘

πŸ€” The fact that a football coach like Sean Rosenior is willing to share his thoughts on set pieces and free kicks is not surprising, but it's refreshing to see someone who isn't afraid to speak their mind, especially when it comes to complex issues like politics πŸ—³οΈ. His open letter to Donald Trump was definitely eye-catching, and while we may not agree with everything he said, it shows that Rosenior is a coach who values authenticity and isn't afraid to take risks πŸ’‘. As he takes the reins at Chelsea, I'm curious to see how his unique blend of pragmatism, empathy, and forward thinking will shape the team's approach to the game ⚽️.
 
πŸ€” just read about graham rosenior and i gotta say, the dude is a genius lol. like, who else would write a column about set pieces while also tackling politics? his thoughts on midfield maestros like michael carrick are spot on btw. but what really impresses me is how he's not afraid to speak his mind - even when it's not popular πŸ˜‚ like that open letter to donald trump, bruv. anyway, with him taking the reins at chelsea, i'm hyped to see how he'll bring his unique perspective to the game πŸ€—
 
πŸ€• Just read that Chelsea's new manager has a history of being super critical of underperforming players... sounds like they're gonna fit right in with their current squad πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ And on a more somber note, did you hear about the recent surge in COVID cases worldwide? 🚨 It's getting pretty scary out there...
 
πŸ€” just read about this guy Rosenior and i gotta say, idk what's more surprising - the fact that he's gonna manage chelsea or how some ppl think he's being divisive with his opnns on trump lol. seriously tho, its like he's trying to be all like "hey, we need to rethink our approach to football" and then just goes ahead and shares his thoughts without caring what others think πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. dont get me wrong, i'm all for some honest convo about the state of football, but this guy is on a whole other level. its either gonna be awesome if he can bring some real change to chelsea or just another example of someone trying too hard to be "trendy" πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
