the truth is graham actually tried despite the job being at stake coaching is not an easy task at all...

Supporters of Chelsea football club are calling for him to be sacked, the current coach of Chelsea I mean, but I do not think that will happen knowing that the club is under new ownership, not the previous owner who may have easily answered to the call of the fans. This new owner cannot be the same as the former owner and is someone that looks to have a different approach to the business involved in the sports. I believe that he will give the current coach of Chelsea Graham Potter some time to fix the team even if they lose in their next game.

If results still do not come after the next couple of games it is only natural to sack Graham but I think that if Chelsea cannot achieve the objective of being in the top 4 teams they should give Graham time as he did not have enough time where we can see his touch,so they can leave him at managing Chelsea for up to the end of the next season,this I think would be the best for the Chelsea owners and high management team.

I think they are critically thinking on what to do with the situation going on and I think the next couple of games will be crucial to the decision they will take,either sack Graham or extend his contract and give him the belief he needs.

Tottenham will host Arsenal this week, and for sure this will be a hot match that will be presented. Arsenal are still on a positive note even though last week they were only able to draw at home to Newcastle. Tottenham started the league again with a slight stumble because they had to lose against Aston Villa at home, but in the next match they were able to win again when they crushed Crystal Palace. Arsenal are coming to extend their fine run, but Tottenham will not want to be humiliated in front of their own public.

Chelsea wasn't desperate to find any suitable replacement for Tuchel. And Thomas Tuchel performance wasn't as woeful as being said. As at when he was sacked, other coaches like Klopp was having and is still having a bad rough season.
The reason why Tuchel was sacked is highly connected with his inability to sign Ronaldo from Manchester United. Every other story is just a cover up.

Well, if Tuchel was actually sacked because he stopped Chelsea from signing Ronaldo when Todd Boehly requested, then Chelsea would have signed him (Ronaldo) after the WC, he was a free agent then as Manchester United had already terminated his contract mutually; since they allowed him move to Saudi Arabia, i am not so sure that they were ever interested in the summer.

Having said that, i think Tuchel was fired because the new hierarchy (Todd Boehly) at the club wanted to stamp down their authority and make a couple of changes to make their presence felt, it was an unnecessary decision, and one that Chelsea are going to regret for a very long time.

Tuchel shouldn't be sacked before Todd will exercise his authority of decision and supremacy. As of when Ronaldo became a free agent Chelsea has already lost some players who wouldn't have moved if Ronaldo arrived and also Chelsea has made some couple of signings which cost them alot such as Koulibaly and Fofana.
For Tuchel to outright refuse signing Ronaldo even when Todd wanted is a confirmation of our both sides of the story.

This is one of the interesting matches in the next EPL fixture apart from the Manchester United Vs Manchester City match. Both Arsenal and Tottenham are currently ranked at the top of the standings, and from their last 3 meetings, Arsenal have dominated more with 2 wins at the Emirates Stadium and 1 defeat while playing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

From their 3 history of meetings, I have a bad feeling for Arsenal this time, because this match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It's true they have been winning consistently lately, but that doesn't mean they will easily beat Tottenham Hotspur who are playing at home.

Left to me personally I don't think he deserved to be sacked, facing clubs like man city everyone knows what they are capable of doing and football is just a game,  Chelsea's coach is bad at all and the man is actually trying his best to bring out the best in Chelsea, and now all man city's target is to win both in premiier league and FA cup, Arsenal really needs to sign new payers if possible and put more effort if they actually want to win the premier league.

Looking at the record of meetings between these two teams, Arsenal and Tottenham beat each other, it is recorded that from the 6 matches they played, Arsenal were able to beat Tottenham 3 times, and the remaining 3 matches ended in victory for Tottenham. This will be a match that will be difficult to predict if you look at their meeting record, but if you look at the current situation, then Arsenal is the team that is more favored to win the match.
Tottenham also now have problems that make their performance not optimal, while Arsenal are still in a good balance.

Graham Potter needs time to grow up his career and he does not has a big career like Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp.

Big coaches need time at their new clubs too and Potter needs more time in Chelsea. Chelsea should give him more time but because he is not a big coach so chance for him to succeed in Chelsea with more time is smaller. I can't say more time will be enough for Potter to succeed but if Chelsea readily give him more time, I can watch Chelsea performance and wait for good improvement from Potter for his club.

Pep Guardiola joined Bayern Munich and Manchester City when those clubs were at good conditions. His jobs were more easily than Potter now and even more easily than Klopp. When Klopp joined Liverpool, that club was in crisis too.

He's a pretty good coach actually, but indeed when he trains a club with mediocre standards, he immediately switches to a big club like Chelsea, obviously this is a little difficult because regardless of anything, he also has to be able to develop further with this, especially very difficult with Chelsea's current condition because besides being required to train in a better direction in terms of coaching he is also required to improve Chelsea's performance which is not doing well because there are many problems in it so this is indeed getting more difficult for Potter I think.

I myself as a fan chelsea. still want to give graham potter a chance. at least I want to see how Chelsea will buy players in the transfer market again. Graham potter actually proved to be a good coach while still at Brighton. And when Potter arrived as Chelsea coach to replace Tuchel, at first he made a very good impression on Chelsea's performance. So I still have hope in Graham potter. and I hope he can bring Chelsea back to his best. at least in the match against Fullham we will see whether Graham potter can come up with a strategy to make Chelsea win in that match or not. and if you still can't bring victory to Chelsea then it's only natural that many will ask graham potter to be fired.

Changing coaches will also only make their expenses soar even more, especially now that Potter is just starting out again by bringing in several players who he thinks are quite good now after Nkunku, Benoit and new young man Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama. so firing now is definitely not right in this case.
At least this season he can still compete and be given a chance but maybe he has to prepare for the worst conditions for Chelsea who can't speak much in the EPL this season.

[shinratensei_]

For the record, Chelsea was desperate to find a suitable replacement for Tuchel and at that time Brighton was having a decent run with Potter thus they contacted Potter to replace him. It wasnt really working well for Potter but he is not doing bad either, it just seems bad because its Chelsea and they got the potential to sit in top 4 atleast

Tuchel's frustration stemmed from an inability to communicate with the club management concerning the signing of some players, from Cristiano Ronaldo to Aubameyang. In order to cover up for the statement made in press regarding the sack of Tuchel as a decision from management changed, another staff member was sacked. Now we have a worse record than Tuchel. The majority of English football managers can't perform at top clubs, but are still celebrated for average performances, which is why Gareth Southgate is still a coach, which cannot happen in Germany.

At least tuchel was giving some important trophies for chelsea unlike potter. The fact that if todd was rushing to sign pottter without try to consider another potetial coach. What achievement that already achieved by potter? i see that if he has no achievement. That means if tuchel was far better compared with potter. Potter itself has no good experience in managing the big team.

That's why chelsea was losing against manchester city two times in a row which is very bad for chelsea. I never heard that if chelsea interested to sign ronaldo.lol

Arsenal are still on a positive note even though last week they were only able to draw at home to Newcastle.

Arsenal are coming to extend their fine run, but Tottenham will not want to be humiliated in front of their own public.

A match that will be difficult for Spurs, because after all their performance is not in stable form. The reason is, against Crystal Palace. Spurs struggled in the first half, fortunately in the second half Antonio Conte's troops were able to escape the pressure and win the match with a landslide score.
Next, Tottenham will host Arsenal at their own headquarters. for sure, Antonio Conte's men will work hard to win the battle to push back their ranking to the top four of the Premier League. it's just that Arsenal are currently in a very positive trend, the Gunners' young squad is in its best performance with an increasingly well-trained mentality.

This match is also a crucial match for Arsenal, including Nketiah who must prove to be a sharp striker. supposedly, Arteta's youth squad can take advantage of the momentum to overthrow the Spurs who are not at their best. I hope the Gunners will continue with a positive trend to increase the points gap with Manchester City.

[Coyster]

Tuchel shouldn't be sacked before Todd will exercise his authority of decision and supremacy. As of when Ronaldo became a free agent Chelsea has already lost some players who wouldn't have moved if Ronaldo arrived and also Chelsea has made some couple of signings which cost them alot such as Koulibaly and Fofana.
For Tuchel to outright refuse signing Ronaldo even when Todd wanted is a confirmation of our both sides of the story.

Mind you that whenever there is a new owner/management in any company, they always try to make changes once their tenure begins, and i suspect that is what Todd Boehly wanted to do by firing Tuchel. The thing is, there was no confirmation of anything as regards why Tuchel was sacked, Tuchel himself didn't release any statement as to the reason why, whilst Todd Boehly basically said that his vision/ideas and that of Tuchel didn't align.

Having said that, if Chelsea actually wanted Ronaldo, they would have signed him for free, all they would have had to worry about would have been his salary/wages, of which Chelsea is more than capable of handling.

[Xcode7]

Changing coaches will also only make their expenses soar even more, especially now that Potter is just starting out again by bringing in several players who he thinks are quite good now after Nkunku, Benoit and new young man Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama. so firing now is definitely not right in this case.
At least this season he can still compete and be given a chance but maybe he has to prepare for the worst conditions for Chelsea who can't speak much in the EPL this season.

every coach has a different strategy and so do the players he needs, a loss for a team that constantly changes coaches is that, but that must still be fulfilled by the team so that the coach's plans are in line with what the team expects.
but so far the change of coaches made by Chelsea is in my opinion a big mistake, Potter has never been able to improve Chelsea's performance.
everything needs process, but a team like Chelsea seems impatient for that.

He's a pretty good coach actually, but indeed when he trains a club with mediocre standards, he immediately switches to a big club like Chelsea, obviously this is a little difficult because regardless of anything, he also has to be able to develop further with this, especially very difficult with Chelsea's current condition because besides being required to train in a better direction in terms of coaching he is also required to improve Chelsea's performance which is not doing well because there are many problems in it so this is indeed getting more difficult for Potter I think.

Graham Potter has not had great achievements to handle a team as big as Chelsea, he has only succeeded in increasing Brighton's performance and that cannot be said to be a glorious achievement.
I don't hate Graham Potter, but I see it realistically that he is no better than Thomas Tuchel.

[Frankolala]

Graham potter actually proved to be a good coach while still at Brighton. And when Potter arrived as Chelsea coach to replace Tuchel, at first he made a very good impression on Chelsea's performance.

Let Graham Potter be given them for him to fix the problem in the club as it is too early to be talking about sacking him. Life is all about up and downs and Chelsea can't keep winning all the time. In life we will see that changes are  constant and we should take this natural thing as part of football too.

Chelsea will be doing well maybe by next season,this season is a time for Potter to fix the club and make his selection of players for the team and if it is a buy players,so let it be. The problem is that fans wants winning at all time and don't consider the losing aspect.

[royalfestus]

But actually, right after Tuchel was replaced by Graham Potter, we could see that Chelsea had improved quite a bit. 9 matches without defeat but only 3 draws and 6 wins. However, after Chelsea lost to Brighton, it seems that Chelsea's performance since then has really gotten worse. It was as if there was another problem within the club. Of course we know that Chelsea is lacking superior players. But it shouldn't be as bad as it is now. At least in the next game Chelsea will face Fullham. and I hope Chelsea can return to show their best performance in the match later.

The coaching transition always occur in that manner if you observe it. The old coaching philosophy wears out with time/games and the new coaching pattern sets in. Most of the time it is not immediate since new players are not brought in. Besides, Tuchel is not doing that bad when he left.

[rendravolt]

Chelsea had to accept a bitter defeat by Manchester City in the FA Cup match with a score of 0-4. It looks like Chelsea have no hope with their current performance, Graham Potter also can't do much with the current squad due to injuries from several of his players who haven't recovered yet. Furthermore, in the EPL match, Chelsea will face Fulham. This time Fulham will be the host, with the bad results that Chelsea have been getting continuously it looks like they will lose again in this match, but I still hope they can win this match even though it is very difficult.

Seeing that Chelsea condition is getting worse, of course you don't rule out the possibility of fighting Fulham, the results will not be too surprising. Whether you lose or win, Chelsea still has a lot of work to do. The cast whose composition was not up to par only impacted Potter's career. I'm not even sure Potter can survive such poor results. If you can't bring Chelsea through, maybe we will see the dismissal option soon. The Premier League made Chelsea frustrated because they were only able to rank 10th, this was clearly not a satisfactory result for the blues.

Yes, this indirectly affected Graham Potter's career as a coach. Maybe this is the worst season he's experienced when he became the new coach of Chelsea, even though if he can stay at Brighton, his career will probably still be good, but we don't know that bad luck can happen to anyone. However, it doesn't look like the dismissal of the coach will occur in the near future, maybe Chelsea will still give Potter a chance until the next season because this situation is not entirely his fault, the factor of the number of injured players also affects Chelsea's performance.

[SatoPrincess]

I am still very confident that Arsenal will continue in top gear until the end of the season. I know the league is a tough one and very competitive especially when you have Manchester City coming at you, Arsenal can’t risk dropping a point because City can take advantage of the situation. It seems Arsenal has it under control. Manchester City humiliated Chelsea again today is very shameful because after losing to Manchester City in the EPL I expected Chelsea to retaliate and get a win but that wasn't the case and they got humiliated again.

[KTChampions]

The problem is that the result is needed here and now and not next season. Imagine Chelsea finishing the season outside of the top 4 (and that's practically a fact) - that would mean that even if Potter got Chelsea back on track by next season, it would still be a big flop. Now Chelsea is showing such results that maybe they will even be outside the top seven, which means they won’t even get into the Conference League (lol).

it's true what some people say, that what happened to Chelsea at this time was not a pure mistake from Potter, but the Chelsea players cannot be blamed because all strategies must have come from Potter

there are many other competent coaches out there, why does Chelsea's management only focus on Potter, if he can't train Chelsea then management must replace him with a new coach so that Chelsea's performance doesn't get worse
