rw1978

Just came here to rant, I’ll try to keep it brief. I don’t think potter is the real problem. Yesterday we had loads of chances to create easy chances. Our problem is the last pass, more specifically we have three forwards who have no interest in making the last pass, only receiving it. How many times did they ignore an incisive pass in favour of looking for someone to give it to who could create a pass for them. They need to learn that ‘we score’ is more important than ‘I score’. It’s a team game ffs. Oh, and we loose more playing James in the back three than we gain. Costly lesson that potter shouldn’t have needed 90mins to learn.


Splenda_31p

Chelsea is useless team…Cucurella is Maguire 2.0… he worths less than used Toyota Corolla …Arsenal dodged Murdyak….Chelsea is mid table team now


futurejoyboy

Why the fucking hell is Reece James playing so far back


Spiritual_Chicken824

Missing an important match event: **45+1’** Ben Chilwell scores a header, but the goal is disallowed


chriise

Why was it disallowed? Because he climbed the player?


mango277

Yes.


JTerryShaggedYaaWife

If we sack him now we will win the champions league. It’s a Chelsea thing


truzon3

Bro. Get ready to play the lottery.


Dan614564

PotterIN Bullshit, he's reminded out club since he got here


Oneshot_stormtrooper

Chelsea had so many chances, not Potters fault but the players


Dan614564

bruh yes im not defend the players we played like shit, fam you have 2 actual CB on the bench but no you choose Reece the best RWB in the league at RCB and Ruben at RWB, the guy can dribble has strength but cant cross for shit, cuccerella and Koulibally should never play next to each other again, Why the fuck did he put kante RW and Chillwell in LCB, Yes mudryk shoulda done better even he knows it but hes had 8 matches. explain how his decisopn making has beneftiyed anyone hes hindered reece since putting him RCB

i_am_darkknight

This was a wanker performance. Absolutely bottled it.


eddie_ovo

dont know y badiashile didnt start for cucu. bads has play plenty of mins next to kk and silva. he has been such a great defender for us this season and to just leave him out like tht is strange. madueke not getting a start after his international break is also laughable. this guy teddy graham has not one clue who his starting 11 is. im beyond frustrated with the officiating in this match, our manager who has hos team shoot 27 times and not score once, and the fact tht we let a world class top 5 manager leave for some tissues and lotion so us fans can look like jack offs for tuning in every week or go to the games just to see a train wreck of a team “play football”


Spiritual_Chicken824

Cucurella is cucu for coco puffs, he literally doesn’t know how to use his head—in both ways—he low key plays like a girl, and Gallagher should’ve started before him… I also wish Badiashile was put in, then the way the referee and the video-refereeing team decided that Chilwell’s goal was disallowed because of a minor shove (Ashley Young flopped too) BOGGLES MY MIND!


eddie_ovo

absolutely shambolic tht call on chillwell. honestly after tht i knew the second goal was coming. the story of chelsea atm. and ur point on cucurella made me laugh hard lmaooo i rlly want him to succeed but plays like tht r just ridiculous. reece was 20 i believe wen he was playing under lamps and NEVER had such nonsensical reactions in the game like we’ve seen a few times w cucurella. levels…


Spiritual_Chicken824

Why’d you downvote my comment?


eddie_ovo

i didnt bro


Spiritual_Chicken824

Oh, it was in the negatives for a moment


Coulstwolf

This was the worst refereeing performance to ever take part in a Chelsea match. The man was absolutely not fucking hiding who he wanted to win and he succeeded


Toy_Dahl

Just wait until Anthony Taylor with Liverpool next week. Or, you know... Any past Chelsea match ref'd by Taylor.


Far-Objective-181

He was bad but not close to the worst

Offsidez

Potter decided to roll with a makeshift back three which neutralized Reece. Played RLC in reeces preferred spot and his subs were atrocious.


Civil-Celebration-28

Graham Potter is a really good manager!


[deleted]

The best ever... so glad we got rid of TT (Bayern 4-0 today).. Love watching our football under Potter and sliding into the bottom Half after giving him time! is just part of the genius plan to take a winning club and asset strip it into mediocrity... No one saw that coming Fuck off Potter, fuck off Boehly and fuck you to the Tories that destroyed our club and gave it to clueless wankers


Nycho

Going to do dortmund dirty like that? It was 4-2 I know you think TT is god but damn going to lie about results is delusional


Unable-Chemistry-166

Hilarious


[deleted]

What is hilarious is Potter's being paid £11.5 million a year


Unable-Chemistry-166

Damn that’s more than the goalkeeper


[deleted]

Relax dickhead it's. a typo and I can't edit it... It doesn't change the reality good managers don't need excuses or 'time' to get results and sacking TT is one of the most stupid moves in football. Look at the table dipshit.


lucash7

And to think the new owners tossed Tuchel out (whose team won soundly) to get this.


[deleted]

What a shock he gets 4-2 in his first game... no 'time' needed! Who saw that coming????


ICKTUSS

You do realise Potter went 5W 1D 0L in his first 6 games as Chelsea manager right? I know you’re angry and can’t control your emotions but at least make sensical comments.


ObviousEconomist

that's a good point. even potter takes some time to turn a good team into shite.


ICKTUSS

Yeah the results before Potter were really good actually weren’t they? That’s why we sacked the previous manager


ObviousEconomist

Ok Mr Boehly bot. Todd himself explained the reason for sacking Tuchel and it has nothing to do with results. And he achieved much better results than the absolute crap Potter has mustered this season. Wake up buddy.


ICKTUSS

That is bullshit from Todd. You’re pretty selective with what you believe when Boehly talks eh? He also said Potter would have until the end of the season, that was obviously never going to be the case. Both were shite.


Oneshot_stormtrooper

Chelsea had so many chances, not Potters fault but the players


[deleted]

Sensical... that's gold. How sensical is paying his 11.5 million for this? I mean obviously you've got some insight everyone else is missing. Tell us you sensical take of Potter sensical management and the genius of selling TT? Sensical enough to say he's shit ores that not sensical enough? I'll get the popcorn


ICKTUSS

You’re so angry mate haha. Calm down lad, take a deep breath. I don’t like Potter and don’t think he’s the right man for the job, but your point was nonsense. Neither worked out, both played shit football and both deserved the sack.


[deleted]

How you don't get the difference between TT and Potter is hilarious .. You're too relentlessly beige to get the passion in football. Try golf it's made for you ;)


ICKTUSS

My goodness. You are too stupid to argue with. I’m embarrassed to support the same club as you.


[deleted]

.... golf you'll love it, all the beige you could hope for. This football lark isn't for everyone


ycuwuw

"the boys gave everything" - potter


bigjohn15668

Usually I can point to 1 or 2 players that had a good game despite the loss… today I can’t name anyone… worst performance I’ve ever seen.


Aphinadria

Chilwell had a great game, incredibly positive performance from him. Kate was good after coming on as well. I think Joao played alright but was overly selfish at times. Enzo had a decent game as well to be fair, just instructed to play it wide instead of through the lines or in behind. 100% down to poor tactics today. The rest of the team were bad - not sure reece did anything wrong, just not playing where he should.


Unable-Chemistry-166

Yeah chilwell put in the work today. Should hv kept the goal


Galactus1701

I can’t wait to see the Rantman’s take on today’s match.


cbtf400

I have no idea what Potter was doing with his tactical setup. No idea with his player choices and their positions for this game. He's had more than enough time to establish a coherent gameplan and team composition and he still managed to fuck it up. Benoit on the bench and he played cucurella instead... no final third plan besides cross it into the box and hope someone was there. He needs to go


mango277

lol that post match interview


jlxmm

Potter owned the defensive errors. Own it on your team sheet. Own in by picking an 11 and sticking with it. Own it by picking a standard formation. You know what actually? Get out of this club. Go. Get.


leegunter

Just watched the potter post match. No clue.


jlxmm

Potter is speaking. Stats are positives, lots of positives. STATS DONT WIN GAMES 🤮


mcluckz

Trust the process!


DeadDeadFish

How are we still able to blame potter when we created all of those chances. There were half chances, seaters, long range...... But none went in. Or being called offside. I understand the fan base wanted change, but is getting rid of potter the answer? Let say you have a new manager coming in, let it be Nagelsmann, and he's gonna need games to adjust and coach. It's toward the end of the season, it's better to KEEP potter at this point.


Aarington

Yep. Not like we didn’t dominate shots on goals. Tactically, set up was right which is reflected in every stat except goals. We are just so offensively poor. You’d think with that many shots on goal, someone could put one in.


Unable-Chemistry-166

At least would start next season in form


all_circuits_R_fizzy

I'm kinda with you. We have good players. Some of the best in the world. And they just suck. They don't finish for shit. I dont think cycling out coaches every season is going to solve the problem. The men just have to learn to play together. I just see zero chemistry here.


DeadDeadFish

Yea totally. Chels are creating more types of chances than having wb go up and down the flanks. Silly as it sounds, the team is developing into something greater as compared to the beginning of the season. Just need to get results, that's the frustrating part.


Emotionless_AI

Wouldn't it make more sense to give Nagel a full pre season


DeadDeadFish

Yes I think giving preseason to coaches would be highly beneficial. We wouldn't know how the team would be if Potter was given a preseason.


Ab0rtretry

I'm sure you have.


KamikazeTokes

I have what?


Ab0rtretry

Wtf? [Have] enjoyed your team's previous success.


Humanoid77

Cucurella - Stinks Koulibably - Stinks Fofana - Never really fit Sterling - Ok but does anyone see him as a starter next season ​ That's what 220m worth of players that have not moved the needle at all for us, summer window was a DISASTER.


Adebisola

Congrats to all involved in this shitshow. Sacking a top 3 coach itw for a glorified PE teacher.


YourAverageCho

We went from a CL winning club with promising young home grown talent to this piece of shit in less than 2 years. Fuck Putin.


90washington

CL runs can be lucky. We were definitely not the best team in Europe in 2021, but we did win a tournament called the Champions League.


Dismal_Ad7990

Mount is jumping ship


ChelSquad

Just get him out now, enough is enough. Can give Barry the interim job for the season to keep him happy at Chelsea and get time to line someone up for a summer appointment


Outrageous-Part-3366

Nagelsmann pleaseeeeeee


Economog

Enough is enough Anyone still believes we can turn this around? This is pathetic and unacceptable! I never miss a match and it has been a chore to watch us play for a while now. A change needs to happen as soon as possible and even if it’s 50/50 on players and manager to blame since we can’t change the players,managers needs to go now. So Potter out for me. Have a nice weekend y’all :’)


Groundbreaking-Rub50

Todd for his stupid decision deserves this shit, but match going fans don't. That's the reality, I am worried how low we have to go, I wonder where we could be with TT in the helm. With FFP which would stop us from spending money, and a average manager at the helm I am not sure where we will be in the next few years.Thanks Todd for screwing this season, I hope you would learn your lesson. And the worse part is even a mid table club looks miles ahead than us and that with 500 odd million spend it down the drain.


Jamtannn

Mount’s gone my god


Dismal_Ad7990

Is Guus Hiddink still around?


AryanTyranny

Loftus-Cheek is not good enough for Chelsea. He is a Championship level player. God only knows how he gets so much playing time.


egettonleinad

Potter is shite but the players are woeful too, can’t shoot anywhere but 20 metres over the bar or straight at the keeper. Our Defenders assisting for the away team and tripping over the ball, looks like playing fifa on 120 ping


LeifErikson10

Keeping Potter much longer may fuck is for years to come. We have players with undecided futures who won't have a hard time deciding against staying with us if we signal these kinds of results are okay


senluxx

All the Potter supporters deserve to watch this garbage, the problem is the reasonable ones do not. That's the shitty part.


Ya-Tutarsa

there is nothing reasonable left about potter


senluxx

by reasonable ones i mean the ppl that want him out lol


Ya-Tutarsa

oh ok lol

I’m sure the pain will continue tomorrow when I wake up to watch Royal Challengers Bangalore!


myself_dan

Feel you brother


de_bollweevil

The list of losses just at home this season is ridiculous. 2 weeks ago there was no serious viable replacement, but now Nagelsman is there, it's a no brainer. Although tbh put the tea lady in charge over Potter.


AryanTyranny

Potter thinks he's a success because Chelsea almost have 40 points and are safe from relegation. It's his level.


East_Wind17

Bring it on boehly bots. Give me your positive take to defend your compatriot's clueless owner.


LeifErikson10

I don't really get the point in attacking the owner. Not like he can be fired unlike the manager.


East_Wind17

Well, if they had at least a tablespoon of football knowledge they will not hire potter in the first place. Even if they do, they will sack him long time ago if they don't have an ego of a fucking Jupiter


jimgogek

I would love to hear a recording of Potter’s job interview with Boehly when he convinced the billionaire what a great manager he would be and that he deserved a $$$$$$$ contract. Must have been a masterful performance.


L_L4wl1et

Please get Nagelsmann when he is still available... Please Boehly..


SmogBreather

The boys are legitimately trying and running and sweating and yet fucking lost. that fuck just claps for no apparent reason, gives no instructions, sits at his chair and stands by the sideline looking hollowed and knowing he’s got nothing.


Dak_Tiny_PP

What a waste


Sandy_hook_lemy

The geopolitical sphere of Russia is what led Chelsea to be the team it is today. And Its probably the same thing that would lead to the destruction of Chelsea


wm_1176

Yeah, it’s not our shit new owners or the fool they’ve put in command, it’s actually just Putin’s fault.


simon_me

Mount is clapping to the fans… hope it doesn’t mean what I thought


AryanTyranny

Boehly should show us he's the boss and sack Potter before the post match press conference.


Stand_On_It

If you’d guarantee me Potter would be sacked, I’d gladly take us losing every remaining match 0-3 for the rest of the season. We can’t let this clown stay at the club any longer.


Ya-Tutarsa

but you clearly haven’t seen the progress we’re making, we’re far better at stats like fans life expectancy after stopping supporting chelsea


CrazyLegs17

Enzo is still winless at CFC as a blonde.


Fit-Somewhere-7350

Lol


crazierowl

Spurs are at 4th and Conte blasted the players for that.


jlxmm

That was not a good look for Conte but it was pretty much correct.


crazierowl

True. He had the passion for winning which we seem to lack at this moment


semicolonneeded

Thoughts of the match Mudryk and RLC were the poorest; validated by Potters subs of Kante and Mud Wish Cucu was a little taller…if he was they clear that first goal…felt like lack of communication between he and Kouli Would like to see Potter swap Enzo and Kante in the midfield in future setups Thought Kova was poor/ inconsistent; validated by his sub I can see the argument to blame the players…but the setup was confusing…if not silly. For me Potter setup his team to fail tonight. Kante looks fit (as y’all would say)


jlxmm

Potter set up this team to fail. I’ll double down on that.


perpetualgrunt

Also people who say 2015-16 was worse, kindly check the PL table.


Ya-Tutarsa

not the best april fools tbf, anyway when does the game start guys?


AnthonyMarx

Yeah....that must have been April fool....got me for a moment


Kava_and_company

This just isn’t a team. Like I don’t understand what’s happening on the pitch. Do we play In training?


jlxmm

We’re “too big” to play 11 v 11 remember? Potter has no guts to pick a starting side and tell the players who aren’t apart of his plan to sit.


Humanoid77

Players are to blame for that primarily. We created more than enough chances to win but what can you do with a bunch of forwards who are all foreplay and no finish


jlxmm

That would give us *the edge* haaaaaaaaaaa


robozaurex

What if they are not willing under Potter? What if they are poor in front of goal because they want Potter to be sacked? This starts to be a question..in UCL this isn’t happening because..UCL, but when we play domestic we are in fucking shambles. I always get hyped and say to myself this is it, we are starting to win now, nope


Humanoid77

They were poor in front of goal under Tuchel as well, at some point you have to accept them for what they are.


g1mpie

Nagelsmann TIME


louisbo12

Chilwell and Felix the only two even trying


TopTramp

Cmon enzo was decent


glacialOwl

So Unai Emery managed to save Villa from relegation, with a squad worse than ours, within months?!? They are in race for Europe positions?! WHERE IS THEIR PROCESS?!?! COME ON NOW! UNFAIR! How can they be so lucky?!?! /s


fwembt

Mudryk, Felix, and Kante all should have scored. Created chances, just didn't take them. This team is unbelievably frustrating. Manager isn't at it, players aren't at it, owner is a clueless goof, just awful right now.


fwembt

Didn't say he was at fault, he clearly wasn't, but he absolutely should have finished that. Not a tough chance.


Coseen

Kante is not the one to blame, he only had one decent chance


TomatoVsPotato

at least the women team kept my spirit up


Existing_Ad1428

Some of y’all are cursing out Potter like he is doing this shit intentionally. He can’t help it he’s not good enough. Y’all should be focusing that anger on Boehly and co. They are the ones who assigned Potter his role. If they’d assign me, you think I’d say no? I’d take in that sweet salary and pray I can keep it coming for as long as possible until the board come to their senses and sack me.


Dalbo14

Which owners out there that were interested in chelsea are better options


TwoEasyyy

100%


frodo5454

Existing_Ad1428

Of course, 90% of the workplace is filled with mediocre people. Potter not being good enough and managing Chelsea is Boehly’s fault. Of course he was going to say yes


leKai23

Comfortably beaten for no discernible reason or excuse. End end this.


Pokebra

Tuchel conceding 2 goals, the same amount as P*tter. Interesting.


Yardbird7

Can't wait for the deluge of the "we tried hard" "thank you fans" and "trust the process" cringe posts from the players. Followed by the staged training photo ops. That'll def take the pain away.


WalnutWhipWilly

Remember when teams like Villa used to dread coming to the Bridge? Our players have downed tools, it’s obvious. I’m not saying Nagelsman is the answer but whoever it is, it’s clearly not Potter. How much benefit of the doubt can he be given - surely he’s all out of credit now? He didn’t change anything despite being 2-0 down until the 80th minute.


cometflight

Put me in, Boehly! It won’t be that much worse under me, I swear.


RoughCollies

Have they really "downed tools" or are they simply not good enough?


VishalRocker

Not good enough after spending 600 m? What...should we spend another billion in the summer...then would potter win against relegation and bottom table teams?


RoughCollies

It's a fair question!


blackluciano

Truly cannot imagine what Potters career will look like after this


kwakwaktok

I can easily imagine him going back to Brighton when a top club gets De Zerbi


Salanha04

Look. We need to find the 3rd man in our attack cause Havertz and Felix seems like they found their spots and are playing really good. If Kante keeps fit and we start any GK that isn't Kepa we can be darjhorses for the UCL


mango277

Neither of them are playing really good. Felix has been nothing short of average since he has joined. I'd rather play mount there in all honesty.


Salanha04

They are good, but a playmaker needs a functioning striker and they haven't, even in this scenario havertz got at least 3 key passes in each of the past games, Felix needs to play more with the team and maybe could do better coming off the bench, mount is a better player overall when in form


Sonic_Fool

Are you joking? Havertz was our worst player today…he did absolutely nothing…


Salanha04

You probably wathced another game. Mudryk was atrocious, Havertz got some good passes, but mostly died in Rlc feet


Sonic_Fool

No, I watched the same game. You thinking Havertz had a good game is either extreme copium, or you are another one of our weak fans who is content with “tried their best”. You thinking Havertz had a good game puts you in the extreme ignorant minority


jayrack13

Weren’t you guys just ranting and raving about kepa a few weeks prior? I swear this sub has a goldfish memory. Every week is a clean slate for you guys.


Salanha04

I've never. Kepa cost us some points this season already


jayrack13

Maybe you haven’t. But this sub is wild. When you guys beat Leeds, dortmouth and Leicester the pitchforks coming for potter suddenly turned to praise. Everyone loved him, the players are great. You guys lose and suddenly the tides turn so hard again. Kinda pathetic tbh.


glacialOwl

First win for Villa at the Bridge in 10 years 😂 Botter breaking all the records.

Don’t worry y’all. We’ll spend another 100 mil on Osimhen and he’ll fix our issues from RWB next season. BELIEVE!

Tim Sherwood thinks this is the straw that breaks the camels back. I need to see it to believe it with boehly.


monkeybrains1210

Even Gary Cahill


Royalsushi45

I don’t blame our players they’re quality world class players our manager isn’t. I’m sorry boys you gotta deal with this fraud.


FantasticTangtastic

For what it's worth I have a feeling he will be sacked if we lose against Liverpool. But let's not pretend the "boys" are faultless. 25 shots at goal and fuck all to show for it, barely even a gilt-edged chance. If nothing else, the players are completely unable to create shit.


aPrid123

At this point we need a manager who will motivate the boys. Potter doesn’t inspire confidence that’s clear and it has been. Whether they are a brilliant tactician or not is a different story. We just need someone who will make these players to get up and fight.
