The blues never have real fight against the big team. The performance is so bad, The first match against MU chelsea can do nothing and the same thing repeating again when it was against arsenal . Brighton was also destroying chelsea. That makes chelsea got very bad result in the premier league. Graham has enough time but will recover the club with the bad performance like that become an easy task for him? it's still a question that has not yet answered. I guess todd doesn't like the way of chelsea was loosing some matches in a row. That's it.

This season Chelsea seems to have a phobia with big teams, a draw is the best achievement Chelsea has got against big teams.
Two consecutive defeats to Brighton and Arsenal made Potter's job even more difficult, especially in the next game against Newcastle who are in their best form. Potter is increasingly under pressure if Chelsea lose to Newcastle and the chances of moving up to the top four are increasingly difficult. Potter must be able to bring Chelsea back to victory to keep their chances, they must try despite the fact that victory is very difficult to come by at St James' Park.

Chelsea having one of their worst season this time around with sacking good coach like Thomas Tuchel, even though he was not doing well, he needed time to bounced back to Winning ways. Arsenal won them with ease because the blues never put up a fight at Stamford bridge. I think there's still time for Graham Potter to make things right with the team because they're conceding much goals. Last weekend was Brighton which they lost 4-1, now is arsenal which they also 1 nil. Fans are not longer cheering as they having doubts about the new boss.

I think, Chelsea president need to bring in a new talented coach that can handle Chelsea players very well in a way they will start performing well like Manchester city in this season. Chelsea has missed many opportunities in this season, because their formal coach was trying to move the team higher with some new strategies he brought to introduce to the team before he got a sacked letter from the Chelsea president that made Chelsea to lose potential coach in this season. I don't think, Chelsea new coach can help them to achieve this premier league title because there are many strong teams that are well position to win the title.

Chelsea aren’t in a good form right now. Potter is still twerking formations to see which one suits his players but it’s just not happening and they are losing crucial games. Although there have been moments of incisive play under Potter, who I'm sure will get it right once working out all the parts to this Chelsea machine. Yet, without the natural width and creativity of Reece James and industry of N'Golo Kante, Chelsea are looking a little lost in this transitional period. There are many things that need to be fixed in this Chelsea side, maybe now or after the World Cup. It’s just not pleasing for the fans.

Actually I don't feel that Potter is a bad coach despite his minimal experience at a big club but in this case I don't feel that he has the ability to coach a club.
He's playing at Chelsea on the fingers of so much so can't fault his form at the moment especially he's had some good games before.

Regardless of what all coaches obviously need time and few of them are able to immediately blend in with the players and play well when just starting out at a new club.

Potter needs time and I don't find the criticisms made about him right at the moment. The rivals Arsenal and Arsenal are the best team in the league. They brought the game well until the 63rd minute, but they conceded the goal. Even if there is a different defeat in this match, I still do not find it right to criticize Potter. We need to look at his performance in the upcoming matches. We criticize the team if it can't get it together.

[Docnaster]

I wonder how much good Liverpool will be able to continue from now on. Winning a big game should be helpful for them to push themselves to play more effective. The last time they did this didn't create very good results. After beating Manchester City home their winning streak lasted really short.

Now Liverpool have a lot of time before playing their next Champions League game. In this period of time, they should be able to focus on their league games much more. Especially before the World Cup they should close this half as good as possible. They have only a Southampton game though but they should still be able to win this game to give a good break.

If the league continues this way, there won't be any chance for Liverpool to improve and once you see that they are improving the next week they will do their worst.
The only thing that will help Liverpool and other struggling teams is the two months break that is coming. After the World Cup many things will happen in clubs, some of the teams you think that are playing well may begin to struggle and the ones that were struggling may begin to do well. I am hopeful that Liverpool will come back to a very good shape after the World Cup

Potter was brought in from Brighton to replace Tuchel's coaching role, and he has made a difference since his arrival.
I'm sure, every new coach, no matter how good the tactics he has with his talent and ability. there will always be, a phase where he needs time to adjust to the new troops he will train. let alone have to optimize with the source of the players who have been there before, and it's not easy.

as for Chelsea's defeat of Arsenal, in addition to several players who were absent due to injury. I admit, Potter's strategy was weak against more formidable and consistent teams. such as, during the match against Manchester United. at least, he also needs time for every strategy he implements to run optimally.

[Furious 7]

With this result it is clear there is a real difference for Arsenal now and it is not impossible that they can fight until the end of the season.
But considering Arsenal actually although I can't compare it to last season but looking at their track record when it's halfway through this season there are always some things that set them apart.
Hopefully when the half of the season ends nothing has changed from them so that the EPL competition remains exciting.

This is a fundamental problem for some teams during the middle of the season, the end of the season or the break. Yes, sometimes they come back unlike before, some are better, some even come back with a very drastic decline and not infrequently they also return with stable performance. It's hard to say what went wrong to cause some teams to have such a habit.
It is the coach's full responsibility to keep their performance stable or even better. Maybe the cause of their reduced intensity together or fitness is another reason.

The problem in this case is that we know that Arsenal are sometimes difficult to predict because they can get better and can even become clowns like last season.
The role of the coach is indeed very good, but on the other hand we also have to look at other things because this is not only focused on the coach, but also the players.
Actually for now I don't think Arsenal are like that but it's not impossible that their form will decline and we won't know until we see what happens.

I agree with this, Although indeed in the last 4 matches they could not have a good match but on the other hand this can also be leaned on the 5 core players who are still in treatment.
Potter was one of the coaches who stole the show last season at Brighton and this is the first time he has coached a big club, of course there have to be adjustments and his performance will not instantly become good considering that in this case adjustment is one factor that can be decisive.
It's still too early to see him having to be substituted because even the matches were not all bad even though in the last 2 matches he couldn't get any points.

Am not supporting the fact that Tuchel was sack but in other words, Graham Potter is a very good coach. He'll do well with Chelsea with time. We can't start now to write him off and ask for his sack. Don't forget that he has a 5years contract with Chelsea as a coach. Bridging his contract now, doesn't make any sense

The only problem I see in Potter is having terrible formation and not featuring the right players in matches. Sterling and Aubameyang need to be benched in some matches

Actually chelsea became better after Graham Potter became a coach at chelsea. Even in the first few games when Graham Potter came on, Chelsea had won in a row. but lately Chelsea has seen a lot of defeats again. and their performance in the game has decreased. I don't know if it's about the confidence of the players who aren't as full of confidence as Graham potter said in his interview. but I also saw the decline in Chelsea's performance was also caused by several key players being injured. even Kalidou Koulibaly had to sit on the bench because he was not in a fit condition. I hope Graham potter finds the best solution for the next game.

Aston Villas goals were quite perfect frankly speaking and Baily doesn't score that goal from that angle 100% of the time. Then the freekick and only that one lucky goal for Manchester United. That is what I think shouldn't happen. Manchester didn't fight back as a great team would do. They didn't get their organisation right and weren't sufficiently dangerous in Aston Villas box despite having amazing players in their offensive lines. Aston Villa was greatly prepared and they delivered a real fight. That's why in the end the three points were well deserved.

Manchester United have stability issues, especially when it comes to away games. At some point, when it seems that ten Hag was able to improve the game of the teams, they manage to get defeated by not the strongest team. But Emery's presence may have played a role here, now it will be interesting to see the results of Aston Villa, since Emery is a very good coach and can significantly improve the team.

I think on average most teams are weaker in away games, but for a team like Manchester United it shouldn't be the case that they concede over two goals per game on average in away games, which is the situation right now. There defense in away games is among the worst of the whole Premier League...

It is quite common that new coaches bring some new impulses into the team, but often times that is more of a psychological thing than real changes in strategy and ability. That is also an important aspect of course as it helps building confidence in an otherwise discouraged and insecure team, but what also often happens is that this first effect falls flat after a while. From what I saw in the game there is definitely potential though and some serious quality.

I'm not at all surprised that the current owners have decided to sell Liverpool.
They counted on the Super league and its supposed revenue and after a huge backslash by fans and the PL, that revenue stream has been closed off.

They never invested any of their own money and their intention was always to sell after making the club successful again.

Chelsea have been performing well since Potter coached, but the Premier League competition is really tough so they won't really win every game because other teams also want to get maximum points. Chelsea could have won, but they have to be good enough to take every opportunity to score. Aubameyang who actually performed well at Barcelona also can't always help the team to win, and dropping a lot of points in the last few games is really unavoidable.

Therefore, Chelsea must really fight to get their place back in the top 4 because at the moment they are behind Brighton, Manchester United and Tottenham. The next game will definitely be difficult considering Newcastle are very good at the moment in every game, they are a strong team now that no one can underestimate.

Potter format isn't terrible but the players he plays in those role isn't just it. As for players to be bench, Aubameyang No, Sterling Yes. Sterling has been underperforming since his arrival at the bridge. Although he's the top assister and goal scorer at the club yet he's underperforming for a player we bought to change the storyline of our wingers. I think potter is under pressure to play some players he's playing. Players like Gallagher doesn't deserve to be bench while players like Havertz play.

I think potter inexperience is becoming clearer, he hasn't manage a big side as Chelsea in his career and it's becoming visible in every game he plays. I just hope he'll be able to bounce back when the like of James comes back form injury because the impact of James in the attack is been heavily missed at the moment.

We need to look at his performance in the upcoming matches. We criticize the team if it can't get it together.

Maybe in this case about the humiliating defeat against Brighton which is a problem because to play Arsenal it is clear that Chelsea are still losing and that has been seen from the start. But indeed this is progress and he is currently doing what he should be doing.
At least it's still early so I personally don't feel there is anything wrong with Potter even with 2 consecutive defeats.

I'm not at all surprised that the current owners have decided to sell Liverpool.
They counted on the Super league and its supposed revenue and after a huge backslash by fans and the PL, that revenue stream has been closed off.

They never invested any of their own money and their intention was always to sell after making the club successful again.

Many fans have actually criticized some policies that actually seem stingy in spending on players for Liverpool, both for transfers and salary issues.
Mane may have been an example of when his departure could have been prevented by an increase in salary at the time but Liverpool refused on the grounds that it was too big.

[Raflesia]

The league is almost half way gone and so far many teams have struggled to get that balance and the exact kind of performances they expect to maintain. Newcastle have been shockingly brilliant in their past games. Arsenal and Manchester City have an outstanding performance in the league so far, I don't see Newcastle as title contenders this season so the battle is between Arsenal and Manchester City. Arsenal are showing resilience and  looking ambitious, I think it will be a tough one for City this season with Arsenal battling for the trophy.

Newcastle's seriousness has now been seen because indeed they clearly want to aim for a high position after becoming the richest club today for financial supplies.
I will not be surprised that they have some big names in the following seasons because this season is only the first step for them to continue to make resolutions for their players to be even better in the coming seasons.

[Jeger.Kiting]

I was wondering about this, why is Liverpool being sold? while Liverpool performed very well in the English league and also in the UEFA Champions League. In my opinion, it's a shame to sell Liverpool because in Liverpool's game it really looks very good, I believe it will backfire for Liverpool owners if it is really sold, because so many investors are interested and waiting to buy Liverpool.

You're right Graham Potter is much more following the wishes of the sponsors and the desire of the Chelsea bosses to play according to the wishes of the sponsors. Not like when Tuchel was around but for now, even though Graham Potter has done his best, Tuchel must have been fired with a bit of disrespect right? It's still far enough to judge how Chelsea will be in the hands of Potter. For now, Potter did not feel that he was completely satisfied with controlling Chelsea. We need to see that after Chelsea Finish in the top 3 then Potter deserves credit.

Yes, this time only between Arsenal and City, Newcastle are good but not as strong challengers for the title nor Tottenham and United. City has more chances in my opinion even though they are still in second place the difference in points is not big and there is a big chance that the final result will be determined until the end of the season

Due to the huge failure of the Super League project to be implemented, Liverpool owners who are targeting huge profits from this ambitious project are not being achieved, all the detail you can read here https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-sale-fsg-owners-price-28432725
The owner hopes that this big project can be implemented and will have a good impact on the club's finances and will be able to make the club more competitive.

Quite curious who will be the new owner of Liverpool, will this be bought by businessmen from the middle east and bring in more money to make Liverpool stronger financially?
