Chelsea

Chelsea suffered yet another defeat as they lost to Tottenham Hotspur as the pressure continues to pile on Graham Potter.

If Potter can’t point them in the right direction, Chelsea will need someone else to clean up everything. I know the personality and quality in the team. It’s also true that Chelsea lack a true number nine, although Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been drafted back into the first team of late. “I know the responsibility,” Potter said after losing to Tottenham. “I haven't done enough at this club to have too much good faith,” Potter admitted afterwards, conceding that this five-month spell as Chelsea manager to date hasn’t gone as planned. Graham Potter had the look of a resigned man after Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Chelsea manager Graham Potter could be facing a critical two-game period that will make or break his time in the Stamford Bridge dugout.

However, a conflicting report from [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/4256308/2023/02/27/graham-potter-chelsea-vs-leeds/?source=emp_shared_article) instead claims that Chelsea are not planning to sack Potter and will continue to give him time turn to turn things around. It is believed that failure to win any of their next two matches would create a situation where the club and players feel there is no way back. And while the focus has been on giving Potter time to oversee a rebuilding process, [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2023/02/27/graham-potter-faces-make-break-games-despite-backing-chelsea/) report that he now faces a make or break period over the next two games, with owners and senior players now growing concerned with the rut they are stuck in.

Chelsea laughed at Arsenal when Todd Boehly swooped in to sign Mykhaylo Mudryk. However, a month on, and he's not even registered a goal contribution.

Not a single goal contribution since he signed and he’s spent more time on the bench than the pitch. Mykhaylo Mudryk was the pinnacle of it all and it’s no fault of the players. He had a lot of hype around his name and it was a very bizarre transfer.

Graham Potter said he "hasn't done enough at Chelsea to have too much good faith" as pressure mounts on him after the 2-0 defeat at Tottenham.

They are good lads, they want to do better, they want to win but at the moment we are suffering. That's just the nature of football. That's just the way it is. "You can't stop that question while the results are like there are and I accept it. I just try to focus on the team, keep supporting the players because I really like these players. "There's always that question [over the owner's loyalty], absolutely," Potter said.

Chelsea are determined to give Graham Potter time and do not want to make a decision on his future based on the next two games.

Potter said on Friday that he had A large proportion of Chelsea fans have run out of patience with Potter after one win in 11 matches.

2nd minute: In that central position, Raheem Sterling takes a tumble as Oliver Skipp clips him on the ankle when trying to make a clearance. 11th minute: Not much to encourage Spurs so far, but Harry Kane spies some shafts of light when he breaks up play in midfield and makes for the Chelsea penalty area. Conte then returned against medical advice for defeats to Leicester City and AC Milan, before he returned to his sickbed for the win over West Ham. 19th minute: Thiago Silva is down on the turn again and his race is run. Kepa picks it up and throws to Ben Chilwell, the ball comes back his way and Harry Kane ploughs into a very late tackle on the former Athletic Bilbao man. 66th minute: A panicked combination of Kepa and James deal with the latest cross hurled into the Chelsea box. Spurs begin on the front foot, with Royal charging into the Chelsea box to put himself in the thick of things once again. Romero goes charging into a challenge on Havertz and comes off worst by running into the Germany forward's chest. Planning for the future is commendable and a long-term vision has been badly lacking at Stamford Bridge in the modern era. That's six games without a win in all competitions for the Blues and any lin lingering hopes of a top-four finish have now surely gone up in smoke. For Chelsea and Potter, there is a myriad of dire and damning statistics. Assistant referee Darren Cann told referee Stuart Attwell that Emerson Royal had been pushed in the face — a red card offence — but the officials were unsure of the culprit.

Chelsea coach Graham Potter said he understood why fans were asking how much longer he would stay in the job after a latest loss on Sunday, but he said the ...

Emma Hayes said Chelsea showed "the mentality of champions" to overcome fellow heavyweight Arsenal 2-0 in the Women's FA Cup. Sam Kerr.

That was intentional." Hayes told BBC Two: "That's the mentality of champions. "Across the team I thought it was a resilient performance and comfortable, even though we didn't have much of the ball in the second half.

“My job is to keep going, to try and change the moment. The players are hurting. Chelsea have scored only one goal in their last six games and did not show much fight for their beleaguered boss after falling behind just seconds into the second half. I take full responsibility for those results.” I’m not happy with them. Chelsea manager Graham Potter acknowledged he cannot rely on the support of the club’s board for much longer after a 2-0 defeat at Tottenham on Sunday heaped more pressure on him.

He inherited a number of players who hadn’t settled into life at Stamford Bridge, and he watched on as the recruitment team added more to the mix. Getting rid of the one-time Swansea manager just means the process has to start all over again. Some teams struggle to bed in three new starters into a team, Potter has been tasked with getting six January signings up to speed while still trying to put his stamp on the team himself. We look forward to supporting him, his coaching team and the squad in realising their full potential in the coming months and years." He is a proven coach and an innovator in the Premier League who fits our vision for the Club. His ruthless approach kept the Blues at the summit of English football throughout his time with the club, and supporters have become accustomed to reactions when things aren’t going well.

Kerr was on target as Chelsea beat Arsenal to reach the quarter-finals of the Women's FA Cup.

We’re elite performers and we do it all the time." 60% of their goals are scored with under four passes so, knowing that, you have to set up right and I don’t think we did that in the first half. I think we’re a better place for that body of work. "She comes in, does everything necessary and lifts the spirit of everyone in the building. That’s why we’re winners today because the mentality shown by the team in challenging circumstances, we showed that." And Hayes believes it is that kind of tenacious mentality that sets Kerr apart from other strikers in the WSL.

But on the other hand, as a manager of Chelsea, you also need to give something. The only way he's going to be able to control it is by winning his next game against Leeds. Now he's coming off the bench and they still can't get a result. I can't run around anymore but I can pass the ball, and I could have played in the team. They're good lads, they want to do better, they want to win but at the moment we're suffering and that's my responsibility." "I think Graham Potter will get the next two games, Leeds and Dortmund in the Champions League. If he was his player and he'd have gone to the board and said he needed him, and would have to play him. I was at the game against Tottenham on Sunday and that's the most hostile I've ever heard it among the Chelsea support. They could still be playing now and they wouldn't have scored. I can't remember getting excited once in the game by them. I could have played for Chelsea on Sunday when they had the ball because it was so slow - and I'm 54! Obviously now things have changed a little bit but that's just the way it is.
