Weird because you didn't do that when Tuchel was here who was obviously miles better. 

Tuchel saw the team regress. 

Potter hasn't. We are just not getting any better.

Think this quote from the southampton manager - not Potter

Ah that makes more sense 😂

Graham Potter after the match press:

"I didn't have enough time to invent a system and I indentify with the principles that were in the house before: solid, a unit, together. We had a fantastic week of work and we showed what we could do. If someone wants to beat this team, they are going to have to be on their best day. To be a winner, first you have to lose. It's about process, future, taking one step at the time."

Just to recap:

29% win percentage in the league 💣
17 league matches, 21 points won 💣
Got kicked out of both league Cups in round 1 (first time this has happens since 1989) 💣
Lost the first leg vs BvB in the CL first knockout stage 💣
Current form: DLLLWDDDLL ( 1 win in 10 ) 💣
This match vs Southampton D. Fofana created 2 chances and Potter took him out at half time. 💣

Are you sure that the comments you have attributed to Potter actually came from him? I think these are actually from the southampton manager.

Surely you are not making stuff up....

Thats a load of crap.

When were we ever in relegation form for months with Tuchel? The lengths some go to defend this fraud.

The mere sight off him and his assistant is pissing me off at this point.

Because it is the best for the club at that time 

you aren’t beating man city that season when they had 100 pt and break all the records, your dream of ‘winning 2-0 after losing 6-0’ is just a fantasy and doesn’t help. That season the top 4 race is tight and I understand why Conte don’t want the team to go and lose 6-0 to lose a big advantage when competing 4th. You have to do what is the best for the team at that time just like how Inter defend with 10 men inside the box for the whole 45 mins against Barcelona in 2010. 

having standards doesn’t mean you need to be unrealistic. I believe what Conte did that night is the best for the team in the top 4 race, that’s about it.

Small problem with that, the team that finished a mere one place above us beat them three times. But even if not, there's middle ground between all out attack and playing like San Marino.

And it's not a fantasy, we won the reverse fixture under Sarri 2-0 that season, if he also accepted two "proud defeats" we'd have not finished top four.

Relax, anyone defending Potter is simply trolling at this point.

Yeah, I've always thought he was out of his depth but now I'm starting to actively dislike him

Time to put it out of its misery

No, I don't forget that. 

If you didn't then you won't have come up with excuses like "he needed more time" defending Potter.

Potter could have easily fielded his main lineup then introduce each of Enzo, Mudryk, Madueke, Felix slowly. He instead chucks them in, switches them around, changing his 11 every game and then expects chemistry ro be formed.

Potter is literally playing the real life equivalent of FIFA without the option to skip the year

I don't doubt that you are emotional and angry and potter - as am I for the shambles he is currently overseeing. 

But that doesn't change the fact that Tuchel saw us regress and we were playing some awful stuff by the end.

that's not placing all of the blame at Tommy -as in truth The rot started long ago. The club have been rotten to the core for some time. As a result there is no magic wand to change that overnight. 
 

Tuchel had us playing some awful stuff.

Potter hasn't improved either the style or results. But it hasn't gotten worse

Where did I say that? 

I thought I said he's doing a terrible job and that I don't see a good argument against that viewpoint.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Southampton have done the double over us this season. Well, this is fun isn’t it. Sack the bloody idiot and do it now 

This may come as a shock, but at their ground we lost with Tuchel as coach. Potter may be out of his depth, but let’s not rewrite history and pretend all losses were under Potter.

A third of our points this season have come under Tuchel

I've never understood how people could type out posts like this when it's so blatantly untrue that anyone with eyes can see it or it can be easily disproved in seconds.

How do you even argue against someone just denying reality?

Results have got worse under Potter I'm not sure how anyone could have the audacity to post otherwise after we've won 2 out of our last 15 games and scored 4 goals in our last 10 in all comps.

Tuchel has never had a run as bad as the run we're on now in his entire managerial career.

Sacking Tuchel wasn't a mistake. It was when we sacked him and then avertedly replacing him with Potter that was the mistake. 

Was Arteta this bad at Arsenal in the early days?

That little lad in your avatar photo could do a better job at managing Chelsea than Graham Potter.

Not trying to offend you mate but you should consider politics.

The performances haven't.

I firmly believe that it will take a long time and lots of ups and downs along the way if we are to move forward and get away from the short term thinking that has seen the squad get so rotten over the last few years. 

Our performances in the end ended TT were awful. They are not currently worse than that.

Performances are not worse. Results are awful at the moment - but the performances are not worse than the end of TT reign.
 

Some of the worst performances I have seen were under Sarri (boring), Lamps (clueless by the end) and TT (slow stagnant football without imagination at the end).

What we are seeing now is not much of an improvement in play - but it isn't any worse.
