DH1988 1,356 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Credit where credit is due, high octane play like today suits this team, but it's down to the players to do that and get past the mental block of not scoring during pressure then flattening or going into a shell when we concede, it's a process and I'll say it again, we're used to the elite mentality, or having younger players coming into our team with captains of national teams getting changed next to them day in day out, we don't have that, we don't have those big players. The coach certainly does his part and it must be difficult to have Graham, who is a sound chap, trying to get you up for a big game. Just watched his BT sport interview and he looks like a rabbit in headlights, like a fan of another club who has been invited along for the day. I said to myself "what a shame" because I am genuinely happy for him tonight, whatever the injuries etc Dortmund are the form team in Europe and we utterly schooled them. I want him to succeed, do I think he will? No, why? We are Chelsea, it's different here, it's elite, he should have gone to Spurs, in my opinion.

I don't think so, he is too nice for that. This is what top class managers do. Arteta introduced today ESR in mid first half for injured Trossard. He played horrible and in minute 69 he was replaced for Nelson who got minute later assist and winner goal in injury time. Pure masterclass. Not sure how he is too nice to do that, when he literally did this with Aubameyang against City. It didn't work, but he did it. So nothing to do with niceness. Anyway I do absolutely believe he will turn this around if given the time. Just like Arteta did. I said this a week ago and two weeks ago as well, and I dont think I am changing my mind any time soon.

Vegetable 830 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 We scraped two wins, Potter GOAT, all is forgiven, we have zero problems, who cares we are closer to relegation than Europe, hey, we've had a lucky tap-in against Leeds and beat Dortumund without key players, glory is here!

Yeah definitely strange how easy people forget, even last night his subs we're poor. He should honestly thank Tuchel because half of the team already knew this system. My biggest worry is him playing the likes of Ziyech and Pulisic when they we're one foot out the door and out of our plans. Anyways he is probably seeing out the season now, hope we at least replace him before the new season starts, hate to know such a talented squad is being wasted on this limited coach but least the transfer activity lately has been promising, hope we follow this up in the summer.

Anyway quotes aside, any upturn in form means Potter buys himself more time, and rightly so. Let's just hope it wasn't another flash in the pan. The good thing is we're still in the CL just a little bit longer. Edited March 8, 2023 by Blue Armour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing us we're still in the CL just a little bit longer. I'm pretty sure all these players defending him is just Todd asking the players to side by him and give him support. For example Thiago's wife made it sound like Potter is not good enough. We played good against Milan and Dortmund I think players simply raise the intensity and desire considering it's the Champions League if not here where. His next 3 matches are Leicester, Everton and Aston Villa he should be winning all of them without much fuss and will be much more telling what is happening.

I don't like Potter but I have no agenda against him it's just that it's obvious he isn't good enough and signs around the players say the same no matter what PR interviews they give. Also comparing the average WAG to his wife he is dating since he was 18 years old, I'm pretty sure they are very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhsc 1,146 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 The players answer questions professionally and from a PoV of self-interest (might be stuck being managed by this guy for years), of course they're going to say polite things at a minimum (like Thiago did). However, if they really disliked him there would usually be a shit load of leaks that make it clear, and I don't really see that. I think because he is so inoffensive and genuine in his attempts to help them they really don't hate him - they probably just think he is noticeably less special / motivating / clever than some of their previous managers. Given the way he has put rotation and an equal share of minutes above basically anything else this is somewhat to be expected. They would have turned on him if the XI was locked down and results were this shit, but they have all had their time to "shine" and been an equal part of our failure, so they can't really justify trying to pin blame on him.
