He was trying to rebuild and refresh the squad. 

Potter comes in and basically repeats the same mistake that Tuchel was trying to rectify

I don't get what he was trying to rectify, though? Do Aubameyang (a dreadful player in the end at Arsenal - all speed is gone) and Sterling (notable for missing easy chances) improve our ability to score? If anything, they just add to it. 

We didn't bring anyone in as backup to James. Cucurella was not a proper backup option to Chilwell - his best asset at Brighton was defending; he didn't contribute much to a tangible attacking sense. It was also far too soon. He only had one good season at Brighton.

Yep the revisionism around Tuchel is becoming too frequent now.

Did a great job until about this time last year, and then after that it was a total grind.

Yeah but it was still delivering results and we actually dominated games just without scoring.

Now we look confused in pretty much every game in the league.

And yet, we still finished 4th, still won the club world cup, still won the super cup, still reached two cup finals and won the Champions League the season before. This lot were punching well above themselves with Tuchel, put an average coach in charge and this is what we have.

Finishing 4th and only winning cups against clearly inferior opposition is the standard of success now, is it? How the mindset has changed from our glory days.

When we bought Cucurella, did we just say "yeah, he can pass the ball, let's go get him".........because defensively he is a bag of nerves. He can't defend to save his life, he's sh*tting himself any time he needs to do it.

We lost to the same opponent 4-2 at home in April.

How did we “dominate”? Passing sideways for 90 minutes? We averaged 3 shots on target a game in Tuchel’s final 4 months.

There's something deeper about thi club that's an issue. We finished 10th under Mourinho, 5th under Conte, and for the past five seasons we've finished 19/20 points behind the leader. That doesn't happen to the likes of City. I don't understand this club.

There were signs of experimentations with Tuchel. Before Boehly sack him.

Cucurella was clearly a Chilwell backup. Chilwell was clearly getting up to speed earlier in the season and wasn't match fit.

Now that Tuchel's gone, we have to start the process all over again with someone that is a lesser version of him

And Sterling and Cucurella played very well under Tuchel. No one is looking good under the lad we have in charge right now.

Cucurella was awful under Tuchel. Sterling was alright at best but had some bad games, also, where he was ineffective.

Hard to watch. Potter is not showing the instinct to correctly prepare his teams or make in game changes. 
 

Worse Chelsea team in nearly 30 years. Hopeless in every department

3 shots on target is 300% more than we have managed today.

I'll take a 300% improvement.
