Funny enough I thought Potter will do great at Chelsea. He was really good at Brighton and I felt he will replicate the same performance with Chelsea. How wrong I was. I really don't know what happened t Potter in Chelsea but he was beyond awful. His team played so badly. Chelsea should have fired him earlier.
But then again, Chelsea went ahead to hire Lampard. What exactly were they thinking? If Chelsea had gotten a better manager after sacking Potter they would have finished in a better place on the table. probably not a among the top 6, but definitely not 12th position.
We all thought the same way, Graham Potters success stats with Brighton gave me that impression that If he could manage a team like Brighton and propel them to be one of the teams creating problems for the top teams in the keague he would as well transform Chelsea to be a formidable force but the expected was not the case and he was sacked just like his predecessor, I will be watching from a distance this time without high hopes that Pochettino is the man to turnthings around until he does.
Pochettino is capable of rivalry Pep Guardiola Manchester city, the Manchester city squad mightn't be as strong as they were last season because there are transfer rumours of some players especially those not getting enough playing time wanting to leave the club and when that happens, the quality of the team will drop because now they won't be having competition to play better so they can be chosen ahead of the other players. Chelsea are capable of winning the premier league next season. It just takes few right signings for that to happen and I believe Pochettino with the backing of Todd Boehly can get that to happen.
I really doubt Pochettino will get any where close to competing with Guardiola in terms of individual quality and brilliance in the coaching game because Guardiola has proven to be a tactical genius and the best in the league. Pochettino will have his chance and we will see how well he can compete with Chelsea for the league’s title and other domestic cups
