Poor from all involved. Potter will still survive this, but it is getting hard to keep watching when it is so inevitable we will waste the potential of this squad.

Sadly it is true that Havertz is the best option we've seen so far up front. Mind you DDF will never get into form if we never give him a run.

Absolutely bizarre line up, why are none of our fast players playing? We will be back to boring old pass pass pass with no real threat.

It is very obvious by now that this is not true, players have not hesitated even slightly and are buying into the project, attracting talent is NOT a problem for us.

Some strong negativity around here about Poch but I would take him over Potter, he at least would get us playing an aggressive / effective press which atm is sorely lacking, although I'd prefer Luis Enrique - think he'd be a great manager for a player like Enzo. Think Zidane would 1. not come and 2. be a big gamble, despite his record.

AVB would do better with this squad than Potter is atm if our young pacey CBs stay fit, he'd play his super high line but we wouldn't get sucker punched all the time like when JT was being made to do it

We created good opportunities as the xG shows - just wasted them - but it took Potter about 60 minutes to get a group of players on the pitch that could sort of play together. The goal they scored was an individual error from our captain who should not have been playing, which was Potter's mistake. It is a bit harsh on him as ultimately the players have to kick it in the net but I 100% think at this point he has to be held accountable for results and if we got a new manager in we would go on a run for the rest of the season.

Wake me up when this guy is sacked

Think we're having low, modern Chelsea standards if we're saying DDF looked good. Demba Ba was better. Wesley coming back is good news though. Curious if Potter will drop Thiago for him, to let us play a super high line with Bads. Would be totally unfair but arguably, maybe, the right thing to do.

Are we not one of the worst performing teams in Europe on current form? Just terrible. Can't score can't keep a clean sheet. Lots of excuses - referees are poor in every game, new players gelling, bla bla bla - Potter has to go. End of. Accountability has to exist.

Honestly have to sack Potter after this. Not entirely his fault, of course, but we need to turn this around and we've tried buying players. Next step = new manager who has a history of winning and who's teams score a lot of goals.

15 minutes would have been very harsh, 12 was just a joke.

Only 12 mins?

Could be a really serious one. VAR not even reviewing this?

Can't help but think a new manager would get this team winning immediately and we'd go on an amazing end of season run

Lavia looks good tho eh? Would love to see him join us.

There is no way Theo Walcott is still a professional footballer. Wow. Thought he must have retired ages ago.

Forgot Mount started. Where was he in the first half?

Kinda want Boehly to do a Vince McMahon style walk down the tunnel losing his absolute shit screaming at everybody

While I like Potter more than most, I still think you have to get fired eventually if results aren't good enough. Accountability is a fundamental part of the job.

Mount for some reason restored to the lineup, bizarre. Some bold moves in the lineup.

I don't think we can say he has played better than Havertz, he has mostly done nothing for us and been invisible tbh. However, I do think Auba could become dangerous with Felix/Enzo behind him. I hope we finally see DDF start tbh.

My general feeling is that Chelsea for several years now has been the "big team" that other sides turn their form around against, getting that crazy win that starts something for them. I go into this game with low expectations.

Oh god, that is so sad, hopefully something is arranged at SB today for him

I don't think we have any choice though, given the money we've spent and the way FFP works. Is there another way out? We have to create FFP profits and HG players is the only way to get it in the supply we need no?
