Potter doesn't seem up to the job:
He's been dealt a toughish hand at the beginning with Injuries and squad rotation, but he has done worse than I think near enough anyone else could have done even taking that into account. Here's some actual managerial rickets he's done.
Rushed back chillwell and james who both picked up injuries.
Ignored/Ignorning chalabah despite Koulibalys poor perfomances.
The fans wanted Hall instead of cucurella, hall was then very good but had one bad game and has not been seen since.Cucurella has had 20.
Ignored zakaria, who then came in and was our best player 3 games on the bounce.
Ignored Broja for havertz.
Ignoring aubameyang for havertz.
ignoring fofana for havertz.
Finally started Fofana at the weekend - our best player, then took him off.
Mount false 9.
No in game management.
No style of play.
Played a full first team despite injuries in a dead rubber game in the last cl game although we'd qualified.
Playing any of mount, cucurella or havertz despite woeful form for 6 months.
A list of reasons at to why Graham

Potter is here to stay, whether we like it or not.
Surely it's best to take the positive position and believe he can turn things around and support our coach.
It would be so Chelsea , with our history of emotional roller coasting, and being at our best with odds agaInst , to actually see that happen.
I'll back Boehly and the board's decisions as they have shown their commitment to the cause and I have faith that they know what they are doing.

I want to believe Potter can succeed. Just can’t see any signs yer
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We are playing more positive football, moving thr ball forward rather than sideways and backwards. We are playing a faster game and we are creating chances. The new guys are gelling which should see some of our offside goals converted to better timed runs and goals that will stand. We've also come up against some great defences that have cleared at least two certain goals plus not too mention the oustanding save from James free kick the other week. We have been a bit unlucky and they say you make your own luck. We are working on it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are we playing more positive football though? for every dortmund game theres a southampton. We've signed an abundance of players so i'd expect some better attacking intent regardless but in terms of structured style of play, we're worse than at any time under tuchel imo.

The Sunday match v Spurs at their patch will clarify the improvement question.
We have no wins in our last 5 games. Spurs have won 3 lost 2.
But we have not registered a loss to Spurs in our last 8 meetings.
Everyone remembers the last encounter with Spurs levelling late after being 2-0 down. And TT's handshake grip. Not to forget Cucu's goal mouth hair restyling.
Let's revisit the improvement question after this tasty encounter.
Both teams will be totally up for it.
Spurs desperate to stop the 0-8 winless run v us.
Chelsea will need to change the 0 wins in 5 stat.
Squeaky bum time for Potter and the lads in Blue!
Come Sunday we will have some answers.

I've only noticed a significant difference in a forward thinking mentality since Fernandez has come into the team, before then not so much. I've noticed we try (keyword 'try' to play at a better tempo with Potter though I'll give him that, I like how we frequently attempt one-two's in the opposition half
