So let me get this straight:

Tuchel had to be sacked for not getting more out of this group of players despite Top 4x2, Champions League, every domestic final we competed in.
But when Potter got us sinking into mid table in record time it's because the players are sh*t?

 

 

No, Tuchel had to get more out of the squad after spending £250M on players he personally selected. The CL win should’ve been the start of a serious title challenge. Instead, we floundered and got worse with every month.
Need I remind you that when Potter got the job we’d already been thoroughly embarrassed by Leeds and we’re in 6th?

Potter needs to be careful. The squad do not look together and morale seems very low. That usually only ends one way. 

It's amazing how Chelsea FC has mirrored British Royalty/Politics this year.

Brits lost our Queen EII, and we lost our King Abramovich.

Brits have sacked two PM's this year.....

i never advocate sacking managers , but i fcking hate managers that twiddle their fcking thumbs while rome is burning.  potter step up or  f**k OFF.

Good to see that you live up to your chosen username. 

Pathetic performance did we even Have a shot? Replacing a champions league winning manager for a mid table manager is seeming more and more stupid every game

Let's not pretend though that we weren't as clueless and spineless at the end of the Tuchel era. 3-0 against Leeds, 2-1 against Southampton, 1-0 against Zagreb. There's something fundamentally wrong with this group of players, not just the manager

If the Uk government didn’t f**k us over with the transition of ownership, I feel like Boehly and Tuchel would have been able to sort their differences for the good of the club and work together. Instead we had Boehly being forced to work as interim technical director until he recruits people and Tuchel already jaded from a hectic season so probably just wanted to focus on coaching. I honestly feel if Tuchel was in a better place he probably would have been happy to help with recruiting.

Thats was Cech and Marina where there for but oh no, too know Boehly had to get rid of them.

Said I take a draw yesterday, there was no way we was gonna win.

With the squad we have, the injuries and playing RLC against a top team.

I knew we’d struggle but I’m more disappointed in the goal we conceded and the fact we played like a real underdog who didn’t even test their keeper.

I still think Potter needs time and usually I’m weary about January transfers but that midfield and attacking options are shocking and without attempting to fix them in January we won’t finish in the top 4 and will be out of the Champions League by March.

A fair crack? The man put Sterling and Pulisic at WBs for close to a month and consistently pick bad starting lineups. 

We had Conor say "Brighton were up for it more".

How is this not a failure on Potter's part? Our squad looks confused and lack belief. 

Well you lot were all too happy to give Tuchel a full season of players out of position and baffling starting lineups. By your own standards, you should extend the same courtesy to the new man.

Okay so a European Champion got sacked for two losses in six games?

What do we say to winless in four and two consecutive losses now? I am all for sacking Potter tonight but not holding my breath.

And hey, Tuchel won the Champions League with a squad that look like sh*t under Lampard and with zero players he had brought in. If Potter is so, so good. Why can't he get a tune out of this squad?

The players were the problem. Tuchel said so himself. 

We need a thorough cleansing of the squad

Zakaria could not get a game but RLC played.

Sterling played the whole 90 minutes. All you need to know about this team selection. The only positive is that Broja came on relatively early.

Gallagher should start week in week out considering his performances. He isn't amazing but 10x better than RLC and also better than Mount at the moment.

No matter how many more players we buy we will go nowhere with this imposter as manager I have never seen such inept management than in the last couple of premier matches. He and the team look scared sh*tless

Glad to see how many fans are turning on Potter. We cannot afford to give time to someone who is clearly out of his depth.

Tuchel's not coming back if that's what you're hoping for.

He did not spend £200m. The £200m was spent, but it needs to be wisely spent. This was not wisely spent - it was completely wasted on players who are on the wane or just not good enough. 

Referring to bohley I’m quite aware potter didn't spend 200 mil (I was also a Chelsea supporter 2 months ago) then remove the man who wanted those signings, many of which signed to play under him, then put in a guy who plays strikers as wingbacks and has no top level experience. 
 

Not the best way to spend money or achieve success.

That felt like an end of season performance where the players can’t wait for it to be over. I wonder if it’s the same but the WC. Too many injures, bad form…they want to get off to the WC

That's what I felt too but it also shows the mentality of the players we have on the squad.

Tuchel had us in and around top 4.

Potter doesn't inspire confidence on the team to even reach top 4 and you expect fans to be confident in him?

I’ve said many times before, he deserves immense credit for the 3/4 month run up until winning the CL. What happened in the 13 months after that?

I can’t accept your point when he’s spent over £200M to improve the “sh*t” yet arguably makes us worse.

You asked me this exact same thing last week, and I gave you a very detailed post explaining it all. So instead of me repeating myself, I'll just link you back to that post

The only players that are good enough to have us competing is James, Chilwell, Kovacic, Kante and Silva. We have 5 top class footballers in the squad, 4 of them ruined by injury and the other one is 38 years old. The rest of the squad isn't good enough, and I include fan favourite Mount in that list right now. He's been performing in patches for over a year now and apart from 2 or 3 games this season, he has been sh*t.
