When asked if Chelsea’s struggles under him as due to players finding it difficult to cope with the transition from Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter said: “There is transition and there’s factors but, at the same time, when the team is losing and we’ve had the results we’ve had then you can also understand it.
“We’ve invested in some young players, if you look at Enzo [Fernandez], [Noni] Madueke and [Mykhailo] Mudryk, they haven’t played that many games. They are learning to play in the Premier League.
“We’re managing quite an unprecedented injury list — so you have to manage that in the Premier League. All that is true but, unfortunately when you lose, it is not what people want to hear.
“I know my quality and I know what I have done in my career but I also understand than when results don’t go your way that you are open to criticism and that’s fair.
“It is not acceptable to lose 1-0 at home here and any criticism I get is now fair.”
The reality of the situation for Chelsea is that they have only won two of their last 14 games and are lying in 10th place in the Premier League. Unless things improve, they could not only end the season without a trophy but also fail to qualify for any European competition for next season.
