Things are getting interesting for Chelsea. I don’t know how they will manage to overturn this trap that they have set for themselves. Week in week out you question if the players are even interested in playing for their new manager. I understand that it’s not easy for a new manager to be brought in after the session has started and then he goes out to implement his ideas right away.
We all know that Potter is a good manager but Chelsea might not even be the club that he should be in right now. He is good but this job might end up overwhelming him. When he was at Brighton not a lot of us cared about their result.
We only spoke about how good he made the Brighton team even if they did lose a couple of matches. They were never to 4 contenders even with Potter and we all understood why.
With Chelsea, it’s either you are winning trophies or your top 4 positions are assured. Tuchel had somehow secured the top 4 in his previous seasons but it turns out they want trophies so they brought in a new manager to see to it. Currently, Chelsea is playing shit. Is not as if they are playing well and losing or drawing games. They are not playing at the level of a Graham Potter team.
Sometimes I look at their lineup and I don’t see what the manager is trying to do. If you are not playing well in the league you shouldn’t be making a lot of changes to your lineup. Yesterday’s match was an FA cup tie but I still think he should have put in the big boys. The big boys would have done a lot better than the academy boys he brought in to get game time.
Little by little they are getting kicked out of every competition and if care is not taken they might get kicked out of the Champions League soon. After getting kicked out they will have only the league; by now we all know they can’t win the win anymore. They are currently in 10th place and things will get harder as the season goes on.
If care is not taken they might even end up in the conference league positions. If that happens I don’t think Potter will be allowed to stay. I for one think that if he is even given a chance for a while it will be because of champions league football, the moment they get kicked out of that competition he will also get kicked out.
Chelsea is in real shit and if they don’t get up soon things will get harder.
