Potter brought over the assistant of recruitment with him. Does he now become head scout?

Gives Potter a few extra days to prepare.

Nor did I say they were. I said when Tuchel first joined Dortmund, both Tuchel and Potter had similar managing histories prior. Taking a lower level club to the Europa league. In Potter's case, he won back to back promotions before doing so.

I would say Potter right now is the equivalent to Tuchel when he first took over Dortmund. Tuchel took Mainz from the bottom of the table to the Europa League. Potter took Ostersund back to back promotions and then got them to the Europa League.

Not if this DoF and Potter are part of the club's long term vision.

🚨 It’s understood Chelsea are close to appointing a new sporting director with sources even suggesting the new man has had some influence on the move for Graham Potter. (@SamiMokbel81_DM) — Pys (@CFCPys) September 7, 2022

Let's see how the players get on now they aren't working under a manager that is more worried about keeping the ball vs moving forward with it.

Something tells me this too was a panic decision by Boehly. I like Potter and he does tick a lot of boxes, but I'm fairly certain he isn't a manager that Boehly and Co had in mind since May for the club's long term vision.

Is it really that big of an issue? I know NFL football players that eat skittles and sour patch kids before kick off. It gives them immediate carbohydrates.

Moronic is believing a human being should perform 100% even when their confidence is shot. We have a manager who virtually hasn't a clue in what he wants. He implements a footballing philosophy that has zero sense of direction and players playing out of position. He criticises the players weekly and tarnishes relationships with everyone. Tuchel goes on record saying he doesn't know how to fix the issues at the club, and you have the audacity to complain about the players. Why should the players believe in what they are doing when the manager doesn't? 😂

Havertz at LW. Mount and Gallagher in the pivot. Sterling as a false 9. Players being overplayed. Him not fixing, and quite honestly contempt, with the lethargic slow possession play for what seems like years. He's undoubtedly lost it. It's a shame though as he steered us through absolute shit last season.

But again, when confidence is shot so goes form and hunger. Zagreb won because they believed in what they were doing. This can't be said about Chelsea for the past several months.

Imagine saying Boehly failed for not getting De Ligt and only got Koulibaly and Fofana as an alternative.

Of course not. He's won us 12 points last season practically single handedly. I don't believe any of our attackers are that shit. You create a structure that doesn't get the best out of the team, the players will lose confidence and performances like that will be a weekly reoccurrence.

People need to consider the greater scope when they claim the player's have downed tools. Imagine playing out of position in a system that doesn't get the best out of your ability, week in week out. Your confidence is shot. This game is far more mental than physical and its no surprise why the likes of Pep and Klopp have sustainable systems. Confidence is soring high with these players yearly.

Anyone else feel this was a mutual agreement? The sacking makes no sense which gives me the impression during their meeting Tuchel stated he can't do any more with the team?

So the football we play is justifiable then because we only brought in one elite player? You are talking bollocks mate.

So did Tuchel have to settle on scraps then? Behave. There is zero excuse to play football like that when you have the likes of Aubameyang, Sterling, Koulibaly, Cucurella, Fofana in the team combined with the likes of James, Chilwell, Mount, Silva, etc.

Friendly reminder every attacker that has left is flourishing.

This your same rational come December and we are 10th?

"If we did underestimate Dinamo then we have a problem. Me personally, I didn't." Is that why you played Mount in the fucking pivot and Azpilicueta at RCB you fucking mug?

Defence no longer covering for Tuchel's limitations.

I'm shutting this off. Boehly and the other investors need to have a meeting and soon. Questions need to be asked as we look no closer than rediscovering our form than we did since last season. We spent £300m and this is where the money went? Producing this shit football even Everton would be embarrassed of? On the bright side, we have a squad ready for a progressive manager to step in.

Maybe Rory Jennings was right.
