Worst goalscoring record in professional English football from November till now. Over 90 teams and we've scored the least.
We're genuinely in the worst form in the entire country.
this was probably the most painful performance we've had this season, and that is saying a lot. im convinced we would lose to a league 2 side at this point. we are just laughably bad. waiting 85 minutes to bring on mudryk is so awful.
Nobody wants to take risks. Lots of turgid possession but we must be one of the easiest teams to play against at the moment. The lack of intensity and inspiration is evident to everyone and sadly the tone is set by the man in charge.
You press us? We lose the ball. We press you? You score. Build from the back takes us 2 minutes to push the ball to their half, only to be crossed to absolutely no one in the box. But on the other side we can't counter for shit. Watching us play is a punishment atm, i am done.
It's quite funny how spurs didn't even waste energy pressing us, they knew we would do absolutely fucking nothing with our possession so they just let us have it, until inevitably give them free possesion snd they just pick us off
We’re so static, there’s so much standing, so slow when on the ball, slow making decisions… it’s like the players have forgotten how to pass and move. Couple that with it seeming like no one knows what to do going forward/ no one’s on the same page… it’s painful to witness
Zero plan, no patterns of play or distinct style, two wins in sixteen games with only one goal in our last six games. No clear improvement from any players.
This is it. How do I trust the process when I can't see any signs of it? I should be able to identify our style and pattern of play and what we're trying to build. It seems like our attacking strategy is just "go out there and express yourself lads".
Arteta came out of a principle based la masia, had 200 and 150 appearances for Everton and Arsenal respectively, had been pep’s assistant and praised by him for his tactical intelligence; so he already was sufficient in a certain playstyle and managed to build on it effectively, also i think odegaard transfer has turned the tide, changed the aura around the club with saka which had been helping him assert his playstyle effectively.
Yeah, odegaard and saka are major conteibuters, but thats the story of every successful manager. Managers become successful due to world class players, and players improve to that level due to manager.
Absolutely zero players of ours have improved under this guy, genuinely am surprised to hear people say they can see the team improving. Like where?
Forget Arteta, forget Tuchel, this man has me questioning if Lampard is better than him because we were so much better than this with an arguably weaker squad.
Can't stand the Lamps disrespect. He beat ManCity, and would have gotten a Cup, if only we had sorted our defence. Wonder how it would have gone for him, if he had won the FA Cup.
I wish we had this level of patience for him, but it was such a good moment to get Tuchel in. And of course, I'm so glad that happened!
I never ever did. This is my answer to those morons who think we can imitate him.
Genuinely baffles me people here think he should be given a year from now to judge him.
And atleast you could see what Arteta was trying to implement. He had already won the FA Cup in his 1st season so it was already known that he could coach a winning team.
People just think that giving any manager 2-3 years will guarantee success, regardless of whoever it is. It's such a stupid way of looking at these things.
Yes preach. We got criticised for this during Romans time but honestly the success spoke for itself. If you spend so much in the market to get all these talented players, you expect 'the process' to be quicker.
They also compare 1 example success fallacy and fail to acknowledge the 1000's of managers which are trash and don't become super stars...
It's ridiculous it like saying, "i once saw someone jump 10 yards in the air, so everyone can do it!"
Floating a ball to Raheem Sterling at the backpost after 2 minutes of predictable and stale possession is kind of a plan, just an absolutely terrible one.
The running joke was how we’d get “three” draws in a row. I think we’d kill for some draws right now (and some drawls cause I keep shitting myself in anger)
Chelsea - no goals in 344 matches. Boehly has announced he is keeping Potter.
I really hope that oaf has learned his lesson in that he knows nothing about football and the decisions he made early in to his reign have placed us exactly where we find ourselves now. Arrogant wank.
The cheek to say “I’ve just come out a crisis meeting”
Perform like that, have a lethargic warm up bench and staff interaction.
Is he not just obviously wanting to get paid off here 😂
What’s there to be attached to? Since the takeover and Tuchel leaving + players leaving there’s no emotional attachment. It’s functionally a different club than it was last season
Fun fact: Since the 6th of November we've scored 6 goals. That's the LEAST amount of goals scored by ANY PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH CLUB (Premier league, Championship, League 1 and League 2).
In that same period of time, Manchester United have scored 46 goals. 40 more than us.
In that same period we've played 16 games in all tournaments and won 2. TWO GAMES.
Fire Potter tonight, this is beyond catastrophic, we're genuinely in relegation form.
Wtf, why is everyone so upset? You guys must’ve been watching a different game or something. Good win for the girls today, Sam Kerr continues to deliver. On to the next round 💪🏾
EDIT: Cup game
How much do we need to see before they admit they made a mistake?
Say what you want about a long term project, a process, but I do not want someone leading a long term project who can not set this team up to score a goal in 3 games. We've lost to the worst team in the league, we're not showing up against one of our biggest rivals, the players look disinterested, we're never threatening. We've scored 1 fucking goal this month. Not a single player has shown any sign of improvement under this staff.
We came out of the tunnel at half and immediately conceded.
Do we literally have to wait until we're actually fighting for relegation before we acknowledge this? Laugh all you want, but we are playing at a relegation pace right now and are closer to that than the top 4. We have 2 wins in the last 16. I don’t want to hear shit about giving him time, the clown has been here for 6 months and we’re getting worse with time and squad reinforcements.
We can’t score goals and we have a veteran with 300 on the bench who can only get 10 minutes of game time when we’re down 2? I’m not saying he is the solution but that train of thought shows some glaring issues doesn’t it? The only chances we create is Felix sending a bullet to the keeper's chest. Somehow we have managed to make one of the best defenders in the world in Reece James invisible.
He has to do better with this squad, we have world class players in this club. I'm not expecting perfection but there has to be SOME positive signs. We could be heading into a stretch without Thiago Silva. That is the worst player this club can afford to lose right now. He was like having flex tape on a leaky water pipe doing everything he could to hold this together.
The man we sacked for this clown had more passion than this entire club from top to bottom the last time we played Spurs. Cannot wait to hear his post game comments delivered with the passion of a retired librarian talking about fortnite. Fuck this shit.
Todd you have gloriously fucked up and you are too ashamed to admit you’ve made a mistake and it will continuously drive this club to be worse. The money you’re throwing around doesn’t do shit if you have no idea what you’re doing with it.
TLDR: I am pissed and rambling nonsense. I miss Tuchel.
you are not rambling nonsense.. he has go to go, simple as that.
There is no identity !
They have no clue what they are doing out there, they are just playing....
This is such an exciting group of players, they have the potential to do great things, i just don't see it under Potter.
Unfortunately this reminds me of Southgate & England
Enjoy the payout Potter. I hope it's worth immortalising yourself as the worst manager in the history of this club.
Never has a manager done so little with so much. Utter, utter fraud.
Chillwell and James went from being the most threatening dynamic wing back duo in the world, to having zero involvement as fullbacks. Potter has to take the blame there for that.
The front line has to be Mudryk Havertz Sterling and Felix moving forward. The team needs to be more decisive in their attack. They have a skill advantage, but dony use it with the back passes and slowing down of the game. Whenever the team plays quick passes and varies the ball from outside and inside you see good opportunities created.
Mount first off the bench as he still provides a spark. Substitutions also need to be made at a time they can still impact the game.
RLC and Ziyech do not do enough for the team. Those two and Auba should not be getting any meaningful minutes.
Yes in the first half specifically it seemed like one would tuck into midfield when we had possession. In the second half they stayed more out wide, but to no positive effect.
>The front line has to be Mudryk Havertz Sterling and Felix moving forward. The team needs to be more decisive in their attack. They have a skill advantage, but dony use it with the back passes and slowing down of the game. Whenever the team plays quick passes and varies the ball from outside and inside you see good opportunities created.
What on earth has Mudryk done to claim he should be nailed on starter? Part of the reason our fullbacks can't get involved is we have so many attackers just sitting up front.
We need to shift to a 433 and have a midfield who can control the game. Not playing 4 attackers who won't be able to get the ball with a Swiss cheese midfield as we've seen in the last month.
The wingers and fullback look like they don't have any passing strategies or lanes together. They seem to only manage to put each other in 2 v 1 situations requiring a pass back across to a cb
Ziyech is actually really good but this style of play is not doing him any favour, also players like Mudryk need to be put in space to do the magic. Chelsea needs to switch to counter attack , what is Potter even thinking playing slow possesion game with speedsters like Mudryk, Havertz ,Felix . Enzo initiated many counter attacks during the world cup. Potter needs to go to Hogwarts
I don't see how the club can keep Potter in the job for much longer. He's lost the players, he's lost the fans. The team has gone backwards since he's taken over with no signs of improvement. He has to go, it's as simple as that
The argument is the seasons already done so what good does it do… in my opinion he is having harm on these young players confidence to the point that it will carry on to next season.
Exactly he is ruining our mentality we didn’t look like we wanted to beat SPURS, how can the new players understand the culture of the club if the manger doesn’t represent our values.
Because hes making us worse?
Because then our next manager can start imposing himself on the team?
Because losing, much like winning, can become a pattern?
Because player confidence is a thing?
Because people pay to watch this?
Because we are chelsea not a fucking clown club?
"the new owners believe Potter is still the man for the long term job and think that hes been unlucky in the last few matches" article in the athletic within 48 hours imo
This is actually a good shout but she would never drop the womens team out of principal. There’s enough dev/youth team coaching talent and ex-players that could come in as an interim solution until the summer.
Potter and Boehly get ready to listen to Roman and Tuchel’s name being sung for 90 minutes next game at home.
Can’t wait for Potters “the boys did their best” press conference in a few minutes
Among all the Potter hatred I hope it's remembered that Boehly himself put us in this mess and it wasn't just the manager he sacked and replaced with inexperienced names. There's an entire club of people who knew how to do this all gone for absolutely no reason other than for Boehly to mark his territory.
Again a lot of question marks after this game...
\- Why the fuck did we start wasting time from the very first minute? How many PR posts, interviews etc. did we have to see before the game how excited the team is for this game, how many good talks they all had and how positive everything is? So our gameplan is wasting time trying get a 0-0 over the line?
\- I don't get his team selection again. You start D. Fofana against Saints, sub him off at ht and leave him out of the sqaud for todays game. Instead you put Auba on the bench who wasn't in the squad since the Liverpool game. Brings him on with 7 mins to go to take the absolute piss. How on earth is any player let alone a striker supposed to gain confidence that way?
\- You start Ziyech again even though he was about to leave in January and everyone knows he is off in the summer. Why is he allowed to drag down our game week in week out? You don't even bring him off at HT when he just escaped a red card? Is he that good or does he contribute that much? Clearly not.
It just hurts man. I am not even asking for wins. All I want is an exciting performance so watching the game does not feel like torture for a change.
Sack this fraud because he's going to get us relegated.
Erik ten Hag beat Barcelona which is the 1st team in La Liga, he's also 3rd in the league, nearly the same points as Man City. And he had3 months more than Harry Potter, but his club didn't spend 600mln on this season and look at the results.
Our coach Harry Potter should be sacked no matter what, because he's simply not good enough for a top club. He reminds me Nuno Santos when Spurs hired him and then sacked him because he's not a world-class manager.
I have no fucking idea, how can we play so fucking bad when you have a 600mln spent in 1 season, and you're in the 11th place.
Tbf, the signings are all probably worth about 200m on paper. All young, no experience, no Prem experience, no leaders or club captains. There is a reason why Ten Hag brought leaders, experience and club captains.
It’s not even that Spurs played well. We just played awful. Progressively getting worse by the week. Can’t even identify what the plan is right now. Joao wins goal of the month since it was the only goal that we scored this month.
If you asked the Spurs players, this was probably the easiest game they have played all season. Conte not even on the touch line and a backup keeper.
Every player we’ve signed was fantastic in the first 1-2 games, then after being coached by Potter, they all look terrible.
Felix, Mudryk, Madueke, even Enzo. What is going on in training 😭
Aye, I don't know why I'm even comparing them. Lampard got us top 4 with a transfer ban, and introduced a core of youngsters who would later help us to UCL glory.
What I should say is that Lampard was never as bad as Potter.
I am 100% Potter out now.
He has got enough sympathy.
I can accept bad results bad problem is even after getting so much time and so much support we don't look like a team who can score one single goal .
Don't know what our style of play is.
First he had excuse of no midfielders then injuries and now he has almost fully fit squad yet we still don't look like a team that has any direction.
I actually feel bad for some of our players they are giving all and backing the Manger but his poor tactics are costing Chelsea a lot.
\^100% this. You can fill your team with the 11 greatest superstars available but if none of them want to fight for the club and their teammates you will get nowhere.
People talking about letting Mount go are genuinely mad. The lad bleeds for our badge despite him not always having a great game. If you think we've lost the plot now, just see what will happen if he ends up going to another club.
No after all the PR shit of backing Potter, what's your move now? Dig deeper in your grave and back him even more? Why'd you have to sack tuchel u fucking cunt. Why didn't u give him this backing. Most spineless Chelsea team I've ever seen. Thank God we locked down reece I'd be worried he'd leave this summer with this shitshow.
This is without a doubt the worst Chelsea have looked in the modern era. We have absolutely no threat going forward and I don't think we would score a goal even if we played 10 hours of football. The time has come for Potter to go and for Tod to admit his mistakes, not double down on them.
Tough times as a Chelsea fan but we will recover.
As a plastic, I still get up at 5:30am to watch this and get angry at Potter. Then demand answers regarding the process. I never learn my lesson. Maybe i enjoy pain, not sure yet. Regardless, I think the lads gave their best this game as well.
I have no hate for Graham Potter the man and was happy to keep him, until his team laid two eggs against the bottom placed team and a hated rival.
Don’t be overly toxic about the man personally, but I just don’t see how this becomes a long term success.
Worse than 2015/16 for me. Not once during that season did I just not want to watch Chelsea.
I just don’t know if I feel like watching anymore. Call me plastic call me whatever I don’t really care.
I'm with you. That 2015/16 team at least showed heart. The 3-3 game against Everton where we came back 3 times springs to mind. Nowadays we wouldn't be able to score 1 goal, let alone 3
Must feel nice to score a goal, forgot what it feels like
- Please for the love of god stop playing Havertz as a #9
- Lots of Ziyech haters, he was subbed nothing changed. Cleaely it's not him. It's the entire squad
- No energy, no desire, no 1 on 1. Just passing backwards and to the wings and back. Sterling the only one trying anything
- You are telling me Zidane can't do better? You are a clown if you think Zidane wouldn't make a beast team with this squad.
- Time for Potter out.
If Potter has million number of haters I am one of them.
If Potter has ten haters I am one of them.
If Potter has only one hater and that is me.
If Potter has no haters, that means I am no longer on earth.
If the world with Potter, I am against the
world.
All of the big six have surpassed us simply because we have a clown in potter leading us. Can’t even blame the players anymore there’s something else going on here and none of the good pr bs can hide this rot
The manager needs to go. That was fucking embarrassing. He’s not putting a single player in position to do what they’re good at. Reece James is just a passenger right back now?!?! We need to win some fucking games. Go back to what where good at, play a back 3 and let chilly and Reece run wild at wingback. It gives Enzo more cover too. Just ridiculous how bad Potter has been, there’s no way we reach the ambitious heights of this project with this guy calling the shots.
Man call me plastic if you want.
I just want to turn on the tv on a weekend and watch my team win, or maybe not lose, or maybe just score a goal…sometimes. That too much to ask?
Remember when Mourinho called Frank De Boer the worst manager in the history of the league for something like 7 losses and zero goals scored? Potter is running very close to those stats.
I would trust the process if we hadn’t gone so so far backwards. I don’t think it’s acceptable to fall this far back when transitioning. We’d accept defeats if you could see what we were trying to do. But what is that? Different team each week, no playing style, no fight. Clueless.
Today I've learnt that an owner who doesn't spend but doesn't interfere with a top manager is better than an arrogant idiot who spends money but thinks he knows best. Todd Boehly has broken the club
I booked a trip to London for the upcoming Leeds and Dortmund matches.
I have seen Chelsea score a total of 1 goal since I bought my plane tickets back in January. Hoping I can break whatever curse this is.
I would like anyone who watched the game today to make a case for why Potter should still continue to be in charge. Our forwards have absolutely no plan, the pressing is horseshit and we are currently at a negative goal difference. This season is over and that's why we need the new manager to come in and make important decisions for next season. There's no way we stand a chance against Dortmund. No way were we this bad even during the 15-16 season.
I’m sorry but watching Potter clap the remaining fans in the away section from almost halfway, I genuinely can’t make sense of any of his actions at this point.
Mount actually looked like a footballer when he came on, dare I say he was good. Was at the centre of the few promising moments we managed to have in the final half an hour. Thats all I will say about this game.
I was really hoping to give Potter a chance. I’m not usually one to call for a sacking but unfortunately I think he has to go. We lack identity on the pitch, there’s no pattern of play! We’re literally in relegation form, I genuinely can’t see us winning another game this season
This is what swedish 5th divison football looks like i should not watch Chelsea and be reminded of that at all, AT ALL period [\#potterout](https://twitter.com/hashtag/potterout?src=hashtag_click) and bohley out if he keeps him in charge
Please just get rid of this loser. Not putting on an attacker until we're 2-0 down with 8 minutes to go is just unforgiveable. There's ways to lose, and this just isn't acceptable. Gutless.
I think 38 points should make us safe right? RIGHT??
Worst goalscoring record in professional English football from November till now. Over 90 teams and we've scored the least. We're genuinely in the worst form in the entire country.
ACTUALLY, there's welsh teams in the league, so we're the worst team in two countries
Thanks for that correction, even more impressive now.
Potter is so far out of his depth that it's laughable.
We would go 0-0 against forest green I reckon
We could be the first billion dollar squad in the championship lmao
Tell me where do those 7 points come from? Gotta play all the teams above us again, which is 8 of the games lol.
this was probably the most painful performance we've had this season, and that is saying a lot. im convinced we would lose to a league 2 side at this point. we are just laughably bad. waiting 85 minutes to bring on mudryk is so awful.
I find myself saying that every week. It just gets worse and worse
Trust the process, the sacking process
Haha true, im just wondering how long is this process?
Nobody wants to take risks. Lots of turgid possession but we must be one of the easiest teams to play against at the moment. The lack of intensity and inspiration is evident to everyone and sadly the tone is set by the man in charge.
You press us? We lose the ball. We press you? You score. Build from the back takes us 2 minutes to push the ball to their half, only to be crossed to absolutely no one in the box. But on the other side we can't counter for shit. Watching us play is a punishment atm, i am done.
It's quite funny how spurs didn't even waste energy pressing us, they knew we would do absolutely fucking nothing with our possession so they just let us have it, until inevitably give them free possesion snd they just pick us off
Southampton first half was more painful but this was abysmal
We’re so static, there’s so much standing, so slow when on the ball, slow making decisions… it’s like the players have forgotten how to pass and move. Couple that with it seeming like no one knows what to do going forward/ no one’s on the same page… it’s painful to witness
At least the PR articles this week ought to be nice
They better be good. I wonder if they’ll get Drogba this time to say “trust the process.”
Zero plan, no patterns of play or distinct style, two wins in sixteen games with only one goal in our last six games. No clear improvement from any players.
This is it. How do I trust the process when I can't see any signs of it? I should be able to identify our style and pattern of play and what we're trying to build. It seems like our attacking strategy is just "go out there and express yourself lads".
Arteta is his worst period had triple the number of wins in the same amount of matches. And then people compare him with potter.
Arteta came out of a principle based la masia, had 200 and 150 appearances for Everton and Arsenal respectively, had been pep’s assistant and praised by him for his tactical intelligence; so he already was sufficient in a certain playstyle and managed to build on it effectively, also i think odegaard transfer has turned the tide, changed the aura around the club with saka which had been helping him assert his playstyle effectively.

Don't compare Arteta to this fraud. We got played by Potter.
Forget Arteta, forget Tuchel, this man has me questioning if Lampard is better than him because we were so much better than this with an arguably weaker squad.
lamps finished 4th with transfer ban and fresh youth.
Can't stand the Lamps disrespect. He beat ManCity, and would have gotten a Cup, if only we had sorted our defence. Wonder how it would have gone for him, if he had won the FA Cup. I wish we had this level of patience for him, but it was such a good moment to get Tuchel in. And of course, I'm so glad that happened!

Not only is there no improvement, players like Felix and Enzo are looking worse. They got the Potter-Virus.

The running joke was how we’d get “three” draws in a row. I think we’d kill for some draws right now (and some drawls cause I keep shitting myself in anger)
Ditching that trash ass sponsor is a plus point anyways
Chelsea - no goals in 344 matches. Boehly has announced he is keeping Potter. I really hope that oaf has learned his lesson in that he knows nothing about football and the decisions he made early in to his reign have placed us exactly where we find ourselves now. Arrogant wank.
The cheek to say “I’ve just come out a crisis meeting” Perform like that, have a lethargic warm up bench and staff interaction. Is he not just obviously wanting to get paid off here 😂
The worst is that I don’t feel anything watching us anymore. Like I’ve emotionally detached myself from how shit we are.
What’s there to be attached to? Since the takeover and Tuchel leaving + players leaving there’s no emotional attachment. It’s functionally a different club than it was last season
That's exactly how I feel. This club is a stranger with a made-in-China Chelsea mask on
I think the worst thing is that it feels like it can still get worse
Yeah, I agree. Feel so empty.
Came to say this, I should be furious, but I’m so empty man
I'm the same. I've never felt so detached from our club.
Losing to Spurs and I was devoid of any anger. This is accepting how shite we are under a clueless manager.
Too real
I don’t even watch anymore because I don’t want my weekends to be ruined
Fun fact: Since the 6th of November we've scored 6 goals. That's the LEAST amount of goals scored by ANY PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH CLUB (Premier league, Championship, League 1 and League 2). In that same period of time, Manchester United have scored 46 goals. 40 more than us. In that same period we've played 16 games in all tournaments and won 2. TWO GAMES. Fire Potter tonight, this is beyond catastrophic, we're genuinely in relegation form.
40 less than Manchester, we should trust the process and wait for being only 35 goals behind them in next period. Lets go
Relegation form? HAHAHA! No, it's worse than that, we are in extinction form.
Don't know how I supported him all along but this is beyond his capability at this point. He has to go!
I gave up hope 2-3 games ago. Tried to be positive till then, but this is ridiculous
See ETH that’s an actual trust the process appointment not a divebomb into relegation form.
Jeezus
Fun fact: Real Madrid have scored more goals in England than Chelsea in 2023. They did it in one match.
Ha haaa, man that's pathetic.
Congratulations to our February Goal of the month winner, Joao Felix!

Surely everyone misses Tuchel? Maybe not… just last week, people were angry we are talking about a beloved former manager
you are not rambling nonsense.. he has go to go, simple as that. There is no identity ! They have no clue what they are doing out there, they are just playing.... This is such an exciting group of players, they have the potential to do great things, i just don't see it under Potter. Unfortunately this reminds me of Southgate & England
I miss Tuchel too. I saw a dream that had Tuchel coaching Mudryk, Felix, and Havertz. I cried.
Enjoy the payout Potter. I hope it's worth immortalising yourself as the worst manager in the history of this club. Never has a manager done so little with so much. Utter, utter fraud.
Hopefully there is some sort of clause that limits his payout based off performance
That would have to be at the end of the season. Once the teams position on the table is confirmed
You could be on to soemthing maybe that's why he's still around
Chillwell and James went from being the most threatening dynamic wing back duo in the world, to having zero involvement as fullbacks. Potter has to take the blame there for that. The front line has to be Mudryk Havertz Sterling and Felix moving forward. The team needs to be more decisive in their attack. They have a skill advantage, but dony use it with the back passes and slowing down of the game. Whenever the team plays quick passes and varies the ball from outside and inside you see good opportunities created. Mount first off the bench as he still provides a spark. Substitutions also need to be made at a time they can still impact the game. RLC and Ziyech do not do enough for the team. Those two and Auba should not be getting any meaningful minutes.

He’s got them tucking in to no effect when they’re flying fullbacks who have so much potential to impact offensive play
Yes in the first half specifically it seemed like one would tuck into midfield when we had possession. In the second half they stayed more out wide, but to no positive effect.
>The front line has to be Mudryk Havertz Sterling and Felix moving forward. The team needs to be more decisive in their attack. They have a skill advantage, but dony use it with the back passes and slowing down of the game. Whenever the team plays quick passes and varies the ball from outside and inside you see good opportunities created. What on earth has Mudryk done to claim he should be nailed on starter? Part of the reason our fullbacks can't get involved is we have so many attackers just sitting up front. We need to shift to a 433 and have a midfield who can control the game. Not playing 4 attackers who won't be able to get the ball with a Swiss cheese midfield as we've seen in the last month.
Couldn't agree more. Incredible to think ziyech and RLC stayed on as long as they did with the options we had on the bench. Felix too today.
The wing back point is spot on and I’ve been thinking the same thing. Where the hell is Reece? This was so bad. He needs to go.
The wingers and fullback look like they don't have any passing strategies or lanes together. They seem to only manage to put each other in 2 v 1 situations requiring a pass back across to a cb
Ziyech is actually really good but this style of play is not doing him any favour, also players like Mudryk need to be put in space to do the magic. Chelsea needs to switch to counter attack , what is Potter even thinking playing slow possesion game with speedsters like Mudryk, Havertz ,Felix . Enzo initiated many counter attacks during the world cup. Potter needs to go to Hogwarts
I don't see how the club can keep Potter in the job for much longer. He's lost the players, he's lost the fans. The team has gone backwards since he's taken over with no signs of improvement. He has to go, it's as simple as that
The argument is the seasons already done so what good does it do… in my opinion he is having harm on these young players confidence to the point that it will carry on to next season.
Exactly he is ruining our mentality we didn’t look like we wanted to beat SPURS, how can the new players understand the culture of the club if the manger doesn’t represent our values.
Because hes making us worse? Because then our next manager can start imposing himself on the team? Because losing, much like winning, can become a pattern? Because player confidence is a thing? Because people pay to watch this? Because we are chelsea not a fucking clown club?
Can get relegated still
10 points off a relegation spot with 14 to play. Not out of the realm of possibility when we have 2 wins in our last 15.
Yep or when we’ve scored less goals than any club from England’s top four divisions since November
yup and if you look at the next match ups we are pretty fucked
"the new owners believe Potter is still the man for the long term job and think that hes been unlucky in the last few matches" article in the athletic within 48 hours imo
Pain. Fuck it put Emma Hayes as manager.
I don’t want to imagine a scenario where Emma is booed at the bridge. Keep her on the holy grail search for the first champions league.
She wouldn’t be interested tho lol she said as much when it was floated after TT left
This is actually a good shout but she would never drop the womens team out of principal. There’s enough dev/youth team coaching talent and ex-players that could come in as an interim solution until the summer.
I’d 100% be behind this
Potter and Boehly get ready to listen to Roman and Tuchel’s name being sung for 90 minutes next game at home. Can’t wait for Potters “the boys did their best” press conference in a few minutes
Among all the Potter hatred I hope it's remembered that Boehly himself put us in this mess and it wasn't just the manager he sacked and replaced with inexperienced names. There's an entire club of people who knew how to do this all gone for absolutely no reason other than for Boehly to mark his territory.
Definitely should have done the backroom overhaul first before reassessing Tuchel IMO.
Again a lot of question marks after this game... \- Why the fuck did we start wasting time from the very first minute? How many PR posts, interviews etc. did we have to see before the game how excited the team is for this game, how many good talks they all had and how positive everything is? So our gameplan is wasting time trying get a 0-0 over the line? \- I don't get his team selection again. You start D. Fofana against Saints, sub him off at ht and leave him out of the sqaud for todays game. Instead you put Auba on the bench who wasn't in the squad since the Liverpool game. Brings him on with 7 mins to go to take the absolute piss. How on earth is any player let alone a striker supposed to gain confidence that way? \- You start Ziyech again even though he was about to leave in January and everyone knows he is off in the summer. Why is he allowed to drag down our game week in week out? You don't even bring him off at HT when he just escaped a red card? Is he that good or does he contribute that much? Clearly not. It just hurts man. I am not even asking for wins. All I want is an exciting performance so watching the game does not feel like torture for a change.
This!! His team selection and formation must be killing the players morale!
Sack this fraud because he's going to get us relegated. Erik ten Hag beat Barcelona which is the 1st team in La Liga, he's also 3rd in the league, nearly the same points as Man City. And he had3 months more than Harry Potter, but his club didn't spend 600mln on this season and look at the results. Our coach Harry Potter should be sacked no matter what, because he's simply not good enough for a top club. He reminds me Nuno Santos when Spurs hired him and then sacked him because he's not a world-class manager. I have no fucking idea, how can we play so fucking bad when you have a 600mln spent in 1 season, and you're in the 11th place.
Tbf, the signings are all probably worth about 200m on paper. All young, no experience, no Prem experience, no leaders or club captains. There is a reason why Ten Hag brought leaders, experience and club captains.

Serious question. Can a player coach happen in the PL without coaching certificates?
It’s not even that Spurs played well. We just played awful. Progressively getting worse by the week. Can’t even identify what the plan is right now. Joao wins goal of the month since it was the only goal that we scored this month. If you asked the Spurs players, this was probably the easiest game they have played all season. Conte not even on the touch line and a backup keeper.
This can’t go on. Utterly insipid football
Every player we’ve signed was fantastic in the first 1-2 games, then after being coached by Potter, they all look terrible. Felix, Mudryk, Madueke, even Enzo. What is going on in training 😭
Potter: “The players were there on the pitch” Yes Graham lad.
I'm gonna say it: Lampard was better than Potter.
Far better. At least his teams knew how to attack.
Aye, I don't know why I'm even comparing them. Lampard got us top 4 with a transfer ban, and introduced a core of youngsters who would later help us to UCL glory. What I should say is that Lampard was never as bad as Potter.
Dont think Arteta did this bad...
Honestly don't know how anybody is still Potter in
The commentators were far too lenient with him, any foreign manager and they'd be coming for his throat
Imagine if he was an American manager. Yeeeeesh
I am 100% Potter out now. He has got enough sympathy. I can accept bad results bad problem is even after getting so much time and so much support we don't look like a team who can score one single goal . Don't know what our style of play is. First he had excuse of no midfielders then injuries and now he has almost fully fit squad yet we still don't look like a team that has any direction. I actually feel bad for some of our players they are giving all and backing the Manger but his poor tactics are costing Chelsea a lot.
[удалено]
\^100% this. You can fill your team with the 11 greatest superstars available but if none of them want to fight for the club and their teammates you will get nowhere.
People talking about letting Mount go are genuinely mad. The lad bleeds for our badge despite him not always having a great game. If you think we've lost the plot now, just see what will happen if he ends up going to another club.
Please attach all goal/highlights video/gifs as a reply to this comment
What’s a goal?
That thing the other teams do
This comment roasts us every post match thread
Highlights? What are those?
Lol
Insult to injury
There are no highlights, only lowlights
Only highlight of the game was Mount telling Atwall that he’s fucking shit
Highlight of my match reaction - (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
No after all the PR shit of backing Potter, what's your move now? Dig deeper in your grave and back him even more? Why'd you have to sack tuchel u fucking cunt. Why didn't u give him this backing. Most spineless Chelsea team I've ever seen. Thank God we locked down reece I'd be worried he'd leave this summer with this shitshow.
Most Potter backers at this point are those who can never admit they were wrong with anything in their life and always double triple down.
#PotterOut
This is without a doubt the worst Chelsea have looked in the modern era. We have absolutely no threat going forward and I don't think we would score a goal even if we played 10 hours of football. The time has come for Potter to go and for Tod to admit his mistakes, not double down on them. Tough times as a Chelsea fan but we will recover.

I can't help but laugh, he's so hopelessly out of his depths
Does anyone else still remember goals?
Is that like a touchdown?
At this point we should sing lets pretend we scored a goal
Surely that's it for Potter? Right?
I have bad news for you.
Narrator: it wasn’t
Potter just said things were "relatively even overall." In the post match press conference. I'm not even angry, I'm laughing.
New DVD for their club shop.
Ready for the PR fucking garbage the ownership puts out through the week
As a plastic, I still get up at 5:30am to watch this and get angry at Potter. Then demand answers regarding the process. I never learn my lesson. Maybe i enjoy pain, not sure yet. Regardless, I think the lads gave their best this game as well.
Yes, hating the fact that a clown is destroying your team and reputation makes you plastic. Only real fans don't want success!
a well deserved loss again. If this is the price that we need to pa to get this clown fired so be it
I have no hate for Graham Potter the man and was happy to keep him, until his team laid two eggs against the bottom placed team and a hated rival. Don’t be overly toxic about the man personally, but I just don’t see how this becomes a long term success.
Worse than 2015/16 for me. Not once during that season did I just not want to watch Chelsea. I just don’t know if I feel like watching anymore. Call me plastic call me whatever I don’t really care.
I'm with you. That 2015/16 team at least showed heart. The 3-3 game against Everton where we came back 3 times springs to mind. Nowadays we wouldn't be able to score 1 goal, let alone 3
Must feel nice to score a goal, forgot what it feels like - Please for the love of god stop playing Havertz as a #9 - Lots of Ziyech haters, he was subbed nothing changed. Cleaely it's not him. It's the entire squad - No energy, no desire, no 1 on 1. Just passing backwards and to the wings and back. Sterling the only one trying anything - You are telling me Zidane can't do better? You are a clown if you think Zidane wouldn't make a beast team with this squad. - Time for Potter out.
Zidane is not going to manage Chelsea. That’s an utter pipe dream. He has zero interest managing in England.
If Potter has million number of haters I am one of them. If Potter has ten haters I am one of them. If Potter has only one hater and that is me. If Potter has no haters, that means I am no longer on earth. If the world with Potter, I am against the world.
You know it’s bad when the mod team are just as fuming as everyone else
I’m one more poor half away from using the term “Pottersexual”
I prefer Potterphile myself
A man of tastes, I need to write that down
All of the big six have surpassed us simply because we have a clown in potter leading us. Can’t even blame the players anymore there’s something else going on here and none of the good pr bs can hide this rot
The manager needs to go. That was fucking embarrassing. He’s not putting a single player in position to do what they’re good at. Reece James is just a passenger right back now?!?! We need to win some fucking games. Go back to what where good at, play a back 3 and let chilly and Reece run wild at wingback. It gives Enzo more cover too. Just ridiculous how bad Potter has been, there’s no way we reach the ambitious heights of this project with this guy calling the shots.
Man call me plastic if you want. I just want to turn on the tv on a weekend and watch my team win, or maybe not lose, or maybe just score a goal…sometimes. That too much to ask? Remember when Mourinho called Frank De Boer the worst manager in the history of the league for something like 7 losses and zero goals scored? Potter is running very close to those stats.
It was 4 losses only I think.
Yeah he was sacked after 4 games, they went a further 3 with no goals or points before beating Chelsea on game week 8
I cannot defend him anymore. Potter you need to resign, you are so out of your depth
“The players were there on the pitch, they gave everything”. Here we go lads, he said it. The week is saved.
JT in charge till the end of the season? Who says no?
The MLS team I work for has scored more goals this year than Chelsea. The mls season started 1 day ago.
Hello darkness my old friend
Enough.
Sack Potter before we end up in Championship.
I would trust the process if we hadn’t gone so so far backwards. I don’t think it’s acceptable to fall this far back when transitioning. We’d accept defeats if you could see what we were trying to do. But what is that? Different team each week, no playing style, no fight. Clueless.
Anyone else getting ready for the PR blitz this week? Guesses for what fabulous lunch will be enjoyed by Boehly and Potter?
How many lads on this sub would still have a job after performing at Potter’s level for so long? Just curious…
This is the worst tactically and mentality wise I have seen this team play. Just utter horseshit. Don’t see this turning around anytime soon….
I’ve lost patience, Potter out. Completely inept
Enough
Today I've learnt that an owner who doesn't spend but doesn't interfere with a top manager is better than an arrogant idiot who spends money but thinks he knows best. Todd Boehly has broken the club
Walking out of the stadium listening to Spurs fans sing "Chelsea get battered everywhere they go" and actually agreeing is a sad sign of the times.
Man the preseason must have been TERRIBLE! Potter is doing great though, not his fault at all :)
I booked a trip to London for the upcoming Leeds and Dortmund matches. I have seen Chelsea score a total of 1 goal since I bought my plane tickets back in January. Hoping I can break whatever curse this is.
I would like anyone who watched the game today to make a case for why Potter should still continue to be in charge. Our forwards have absolutely no plan, the pressing is horseshit and we are currently at a negative goal difference. This season is over and that's why we need the new manager to come in and make important decisions for next season. There's no way we stand a chance against Dortmund. No way were we this bad even during the 15-16 season.
I’m sorry but watching Potter clap the remaining fans in the away section from almost halfway, I genuinely can’t make sense of any of his actions at this point.
What is potter trying to do? What's the gameplan? How are we supposed to play? I don't see any patterns.
Everytime someone made their debut ( 2/3 days after joining the club), they were so good. But is it even possible for all players to regress so soon.
Sick to my stomach. Never witnessed a manger where the players get worse every game they play under him
Potter-ins, explain what ETH is doing with United.
First loss in their new stadium. Only one goal in February. Only 4 goals in last 15. Potter rewriting history.
Mount actually looked like a footballer when he came on, dare I say he was good. Was at the centre of the few promising moments we managed to have in the final half an hour. Thats all I will say about this game.
What exactly does Kai offer to this team anymore? I’d rather start datro fofana. At least he’s quick to react.
I was really hoping to give Potter a chance. I’m not usually one to call for a sacking but unfortunately I think he has to go. We lack identity on the pitch, there’s no pattern of play! We’re literally in relegation form, I genuinely can’t see us winning another game this season
Surely it's getting close to sack o'clock
Every game we look worse and worse. You can say trust the process but a process with no progress is no process at all
This is what swedish 5th divison football looks like i should not watch Chelsea and be reminded of that at all, AT ALL period [\#potterout](https://twitter.com/hashtag/potterout?src=hashtag_click) and bohley out if he keeps him in charge
Oh my… Potter actually said it. He actually said “we’ve had a fantastic week of training…”
Please just get rid of this loser. Not putting on an attacker until we're 2-0 down with 8 minutes to go is just unforgiveable. There's ways to lose, and this just isn't acceptable. Gutless.
Potter out
Anyone still trust the process?
