Graham Potter Thread

[robsblubot 3,595]

I think the timing and circumstances around Potter appointment made it less likely to succeed even when it was always a bet like few others (as discussed above).

Many of these players have won the CL. I know some here think that's not a big deal, a fluke, and I strongly disagree. It takes quality and a high level of discipline, which is what makes it so difficult a feat.

Regardless, the point is that it also brings other things: increases the value of players, which leads to contract talks and inflated egos. And pretty much the same set of players are now managed by someone without any important accomplishment in football as well as coming from a much smaller club. If that does not play a part, then nothing will imo.

You approved the TT sacking, you wouldn't even give a so called "elite" manger time 

Knee jerk comment. I never thought he would be fired and I wasn't happy with the firing

Exactly, so who are you expecting to be our new manager and perform miracles in the scoring department?

Literally anyone not English and mediocre. Don't act like Potter was our only option. He should never have been in the frame for the job

I dare not say it, but even Mou 3.0 is better than Potter. He is getting results out of a barebones Roma squad that plays twice a week. Potter can't even win a game with £600m.

You have just lost all credibility with one post. Spend massive on Youth talent then bring in the youth grim reaper, take a bow lad!! What an idea.

Looks like he is a Chelsea fan who wants what's best for the club, you on the other side look like an English fan.

You're very quick to point out accusations but have yet to back up your point with ONE piece of evidence. Just one stat or source that says Potter is the manager for us. All you do is respond with sarcasm and plain rudeness but there is no substance to your argument so unfortunately you are the one with no credibility.

All I can hope for if for the board to exhibit similar level of passion and heat when assessing this matter as this thread here 😆

I will give u some evidence. And the evidence is right there in this picture that was supposed to mock Potter:

As you can see there, and as I mentioned a few days ago, it shows that our decline began under Tuchel, which was a heavy decline. The decline rate has basically been the same since Potter took over. So yes, Potter struggled hard to stop that decline that Tuchel started, BUT, as you can also see in the graph, we seem to have reached a kind of turning point recently, with xG FOR going up again by quite some margin and xG AIGAINST coming down quite a bit. 

So in my opinion, we should wait and see till the end of the season if this is just a coincidence, or if its maybe really a trend of improvement that will keep going over the next few games. So my suggestion is to watch this statistic till the end of the season and assess it. Bc IF this is the start of a turning point that keeps on going, it would be harmful to change manager and throw everything all over again in the middle of the season.
