I think Chelsea is too big for Graham Potter to managed, he isn't a big club manager. I was of the opinion of we giving him time but from what I have seen since we had the reinforcement we had in the January transfer window, I think Graham Potter is clueless and just playing with the club. He isn't ready to make decisions that can win games, we aren't a mid table team that should settled for draws, we're bigger than that and the worst is when we're losing or drawing, it seems Graham Potter is okay with such results and that's not the mentally of a manager that should be managing a top club like Chelsea.

I still don't understand why Kai Havertz is still been used as our striker when we have players like Fofana and Aubameyang in the squad. His team selection are always off except for the game against West Ham that he put in a strong attack but still we had Havertz in the team that has little or no contribution to the game. Hopefully he learnt from the mistake he made of playing cucullera when we had Ben chilwel fit. He killed that game by not passing to Mudryk.
I have said that Graham Potter does not deserve many seasons at Chelsea even if he is challenged to manage this great team. He has not solved the problems faced by Chelsea, especially regarding the team's performance, which is getting less and less good every day.

From January to 11 February, Chelsea have completed 8 matches including the FA Cup match against Manchester City. Chelsea have only won 1 of a total of 8 matches since January, that means Chelsea are really in big trouble. There's no better reason than to fire Graham Potter and compensate him instead of keeping him on for the entire season. If Chelsea do, I mean keep Potter then Chelsea may not be back in Europe next season. Now I no longer think this is a Chelsea problem, but now the center of attention is Graham Potter who is considered unable to handle this team better.

One of Chelsea's players, Loftus-Cheek commented after the draw against West Ham. He thinks the team's performance has been better, but there are many feelings of disappointment from the results of each match.

Loftus-Cheek: Disappointed but determined for better

Quote
‘We are all disappointed in the changing room,’ Ruben reflected.

‘We dominated in the first half, created the chances. They didn’t threaten us too much, we thought we had the game under control.

‘It was a fantastic goal, a great finish from Joao who is settling in really well. He’s a great addition to the team. It was looking good, but one good cross from them and it’s 1-1. That gave them a bit of confidence and the crowd got involved.

‘They defended well in the second half. It was difficult to get in between the lines. They were compact. We found some joy down the side, that’s where it looked like we would get in, but they defended crosses well.

‘We’re all shocked about what we thought was a handball in the closing minutes,’ concluded Loftus-Cheek.

‘I didn’t see much from the bench at the time, but seeing the replay it was clear to me it was a handball for stopping a shot at goal.’
