Merson tells Rosenior: Respect the ball? Just don't say it. Stop it!

Paul Merson says Liam Rosenior needs to stop saying things like "respect the ball" and giving players notes when they are 8-2 down - with Chelsea up against it to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Three straight defeats - twice to Paris Saint-Germain either side of a Premier League loss to Newcastle - leaves the Blues with just Champions League qualification and the FA Cup to play for this season.
