Fulham vs Chelsea

Potter has been extremely lucky for his side to get so many points before. Now he had an unlucky game and loss, maybe it will start to balance out.

Could have all fallen into place at Brighton, scouting team could be more worth the praise, look at how they’re still going now.

I’ve seen enough game management, tewm selections and lack of decision making to be completely hesitant to say he’s a good manager, he’s got it wrong all year

Don’t know why people keep saying Chelsea don’t give their managers time, that was clearly under a completely different owner. Can’t say for sure how Boehly will be.

I actually thought Fulham were pretty crap tonight. They were decent going forward but allowed Chelsea a lot of chances, even when they were down to 10. They can and have played much better than that. Still a great win for them though

Exactly my thoughts

Not sure Potter has the sense of authority and force of personality to manage a team like Chelsea at this stage of his career. I thought it looked an awkward fit at the start and results certainly aren't suggesting otherwise.

You can certainly see how and why he did such a good job at Brighton. But you need something extra personality-wise to manage a top club with top players. We've seen the difference going from Ole to ETH. I see some shades of Moyes/Ole in Potter at Chelsea.

He's obviously a very good coach, just looks like maybe Chelsea was a step too far from Brighton.

Whatever people think of Potter, I can’t recall a team with so many injuries to key players, it’s on another level

I always thought Potter was a good fit for Spurs or Arsenal (when Arteta was crap) but just couldn’t imagine him at Chelsea.

I think Chelsea fans will find it difficult to come to terms with the club they now are now that Abramovich has left. The standards that he demanded left with him and they are now run by a bloke that is clearly incompetent.

What a debut, lost 2-0 to Fulham, ended the night in 10th and got a red card
