I'm watching them lose to Fulham.... I really think Potter is out of his depth.
Imho Boehly got rid of Tuchel far too soon. Look how badly Arteta was doing last year... He was kept on and they are flying high this year...
I do wonder if we didn't have so many injuries we would be doing better.. They let James back far too soon and he was injured again...
Gah!!!!

I'm not a Chelsea fan, but I'm watching. I do think injuries are adversely affecting your team. Fulham are playing well though.

To add insult to injury Willian our old player got the goal!!

Yes it’s not looking good for Potter and Chelsea have been playing badly recently. DH said it looks like they are not trying to get rid of Potter 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a gunner, I agree you got rid of Tuchel way too early.
Arteta had awful seasons and now look.

Unfortunately this was way too big of a job for Potter.

Tuchel should never have gone. He won a UCL and got Chelsea to 2 cup finals last season.

cheapskatemum · 12/01/2023 21:07

Game on!

Willian is a class act, I've loved him as a player since he was at Shakhtar Donetsk

Thank goodness... Let's hope Fulham don't bring on the other Challobah... It will be very confusing!!

Agreed.

Tough season for us this one and hope things turn around soon:)

Mum and I used to find Tuchel so funny when he got cross... He jumped up and down like Rumpelstiltskin!!
Oh dear another injury to Zakaria!! 😔 😔 😔

Tuchel- agreed - that expression where, to use a Roald Dahl simile "mouth like a dog's bottom".

I went into the care home to see my aunt in my Chelsea hoodie this afternoon...
An old lady with dementia came up to me and kept calling me Chelsea!!

Ah, bless her. I was astounded when Chelsea became a girl's name. I think Chelsea Clinton was the first time I heard it used thus.

My daughter is a Chelsea fan (I'm Liverpool, tense moments in our house last season!)and stropped off to bed after the first goal.

I was obviously very sympathetic and did not shout through updates of her old boy scoring against them, her new boy being sent off and conceding a second goal. 😬

Kepa is, and I quote, a mutated flamingo according to DD!

I thought they'd swap Mount when he got the yellow card.. They've bought Hair bear on(Cucurella)
I think Connor Gallagher will improve and do well!!

Not a fan (but a huge football fan, LFC here) should never have got rid of Tuchel. Potter way out of his depth, but I'm not sure who's about to replace him.

Probably best to get a new Manager in as soon as possible.
