Graham Potter Chelsea

It's time for the latest episode of View from the Bridge as our Chelsea correspondents Adam Newson, Scott Trotter and Bobby Vincent discuss Chelsea's defeat ...

The trio also delve into Potter's demeanor, Chelsea's chances, people getting bored of excuses and whether Thomas Tuchel pushing hard for Raheem Sterling could provide some solution after the winger returned. The 47-year-old returned to training with his squad on Tuesday after two days off and now enter another fixture that can be deemed pivotal against Tottenham Hotspur. It's a long week until Chelsea take to the pitch again following their defeat to Southampton and not simply because the Blues don't play this midweek.

Potter has guided the team to just one win all calendar year and the Blues are struggling in mid-table despite laying out £600million on player across both ...

Now the club are said to be accelerating effort to remedy the problems in the squad, with Vivell summoning Potter and his staff to a crisis meeting to address the shortcomings in the team and find a way to improve morale.

Crisis talks were called at the club's Cobham training ground after co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali gave their support to Potter and told senior staff ...

Sources insist Boehly and Eghbali remain committed to their long-term plans, which have Potter at the heart of them. Potter has been told to fight through calls for him to be sacked and has a full week to prepare for what feels like a crucial game against Tottenham. Boehly is due to be at the Tottenham game, while Eghbali is set to attend matches against Leeds and Borussia Dortmund after that.

I saw four Chelsea managers get the sack as a player but Potter is sticking to his principles and not just looking after himself.

He had his methods and who was to say what was right and what was wrong. Yet he was also left with players who really should have left and will not be happy still to be there. Didier Drogba was out of favour with him and I presume he was not happy about it but that never affected Didier’s work ethic. The periodisation model has become universal now, but Big Phil had his way and that was how it went. You have to suppose that Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, the principals of the consortium in charge, will admire that. Chelsea had the players to win that game, but in the Premier League there is always the possibility you might lose. When you factor in other aspects – like the players who can see their time coming to an end at the club, Potter has been stoic about it – no blaming his players, or the referees, or anyone else. Their game time needs managing and by taking the decision to leave them out he paid a bigger price than he would have anticipated. But the real test of how firmly you believe in them comes when things are going badly. Then, when Potter was asked about his reaction the following week, he said that it was just not how he wanted to behave. He was not going to change just because results were not going his way.

Ex-Chelsea man Rob Green has slammed Chelsea for handing Graham Potter an "unmanageable situation" - but he's warned it will go only downhill as the crowd ...

And Chelsea's latest embarrassment came at the hands of relegation-threatened [Southampton](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/latest/southampton-fc) over the weekend. Chris Sutton added Potter "has had a lot to deal with". "Once the crowd turns, it starts to get ugly and the players get affected and go into their shells.

Staff involved in the meeting reportedly put on a 'united front' and Potter has been urged to battle on through the external clamour for his sacking. Those in the room apparently accepted that there is a lot of work to do if Chelsea are going to turn around their season. The report adds that Potter green-lighted a scheduled two days off for players and staff despite being beaten by top-flight strugglers Southampton. The meeting was supposedly called to address the raft of issues at Stamford Bridge. Co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali are apparently sticking by Potter for now, but crisis talks have now been held at the club's Cobham training base. Potter and his backroom staff apparently met with the Blues technical director Christopher Vivell on Tuesday.

Chelsea news: Graham Potter's reaction to not being given a penalty in the Blues' clash with West Ham caused a mass debate online.

But the real test of how firmly you believe in them comes when things are going badly." Then, when Potter was asked about his reaction the following week, he said that it was just not how he wanted to behave. Cole wrote: "When Tomas Soucek was not penalised for his handball against Chelsea the weekend before last, I asked the question on television why Graham Potter had not gone on the attack with the referee, VAR - the whole thing - as we have seen managers do so many times before. "It cost Chelsea a chance to win the game there, through no fault of their own. You can negate that by controlling the narrative from that presser there." The incident caused a lot of debate at the time and on social media with many furious a penalty was not given, however Graham Potter opted for a different approach.

“Potter has been stoic about it – no blaming his players, or the referees, or anyone else. You have to suppose that Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, the ...

You have to suppose that Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, the principals of the consortium in charge, will admire that. “Potter has been stoic about it – no blaming his players, or the referees, or anyone else. Cole’s reasoning mirrors what many people have said in recent weeks when defending the coach, but it means more when it comes from someone who has actually been on the inside.

A crisis meeting was reportedly held at Chelsea this week amid talk of Graham Potter's position in the dugout being under threat.

Indeed, the Blues have netted more than one goal in just one of their last 14 league games (2-0 vs Bournemouth). Chelsea have scored just six goals in their last 11 Premier League games – no team has scored fewer since the start of November (the month in which the Blues' run began). However, the Chelsea boss has [openly admitted he knows he's under pressure](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/chelsea-graham-potter-not-stupid-position-people-want-something-different/blt66c0a199c5b6e781) after a run of just nine wins from 25 games.

Arsenal will be in a situation soon where they have to make a decision, do they go for the league or have a run at the Europa League. That just shows you he's got the respect of the club and he runs the show. When push comes to shove I think Manchester City have to win the Champions League - surely they haven't bought in Erling Haaland to win the Premier League for the fourth time in five years. He's now going to miss a final that he might never get the chance to play in again. I think the rules have got to change. I think if you're chasing one you've got a chance but not two. I look at the players and I don't get it. I don't see anything but a Man United win now. He's just been beaten at home by bottom of the league and he's still there so maybe they will stick by him. Get rid of David Moyes and they will get relegated. I like him as a manager but I look at the quality of the players and I question it. The best two players this season have been Reece James and Thiago Silva - he didn't play either of those two players, he looked after them.

[Antonio Conte](https://www.football.london/all-about/antonio-conte) to Stamford Bridge just added to the narrative. [Reece James](https://www.football.london/all-about/reece-james) put Chelsea back ahead around nine minutes after Spurs' equaliser to send the stadium wild. The Chelsea head coach decided to rest both Silva goes without saying, because as we saw at the weekend, Chelsea properly miss the 38-year-old when he is not present in the team. New co-owner [Todd Boehly](https://www.football.london/all-about/todd-boehly) had just spent around £250million on eight new signings going into the season and there were huge expectations from supporters in regards to the new campaign. Potter will undoubtedly be doing his homework on Spurs as we speak and the 2-2 draw with the north Londoners in August will have been watched by the Blues boss. It's become like that because of the recent dominance in this fixture. It was really impressive and one we haven't witnessed from the Blues, albeit under a new head coach now, over six months on. Chelsea got off to the perfect start when [Kalidou Koulibaly](https://www.football.london/all-about/kalidou-koulibaly)'s emphatic finish put the Blues 1-0 up in west London. It was so refreshing to see a Blues side on the front foot and looking dangerous every time they went forward. It was a manic game. Stamford Bridge was once again a cauldron of noise but Tottenham ensured the points were shared, with [Harry Kane](https://www.football.london/all-about/harry-kane) scoring a 96th-minute equaliser.

It beggars belief when the two met at Stamford Bridge at the start of the season that Chelsea somehow only came away with a point. Add the £288m January outlay, and that challenge is exponentially bigger! Elland Road was the scene of the horror 3-0 defeat under Thomas Tuchel way back in August, where there was talk of how difficult it was proving to be embedding the £170m of summer acquisitions into the squad.

“If he loses this one I'm not sure there is a way back because the fans will go ballistic. This game can change everything though - if Chelsea beat Spurs he can ...

“A lot of the players at Chelsea are the same, but no better than what was there before. “I'm not sure these are his players, that's the major problem. “If he loses this one I'm not sure there is a way back because the fans will go ballistic.

Football Insider has been told by sources that Chelsea board members are "keen" on Zinedine Zidane as a replacement for Graham Potter.

His impressive playing and managerial career are seen as perfect for the young players at Chelsea but Potter is still seen as a long-term appointment. Football Insider has been told that the club have not made a move for the Argentinian. Sources have told Football Insider that the Chelsea hierarchy view Zidane’s profile and status, as well as his success with Real Madrid, as a perfect fit for the young players at Stamford Bridge.

Joe Cole has praised struggling Chelsea boss Graham Potter for sticking to his "principles" despite the club's woeful run of form.

You have to suppose that Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, the principals of the consortium in charge, will admire that. “Potter has been stoic about it – no blaming his players, or the referees, or anyone else. “When Potter was asked about his reaction the following week, he said that it was just not how he wanted to behave. “He is dealing with injuries and not just those who are absent, but those who are coming back. When you factor in other aspects – like the players who can see their time coming to an end at the club, or those like N’Golo Kante, who just cannot seem to get fit – the problem just gets worse. But the real test of how firmly you believe in them comes when things are going badly.”

As we while away the days, dreading this Sunday's trip to Three Point Lane, Chelsea's PR campaign in support of the head coach continues to fill our days.

Not only did they arrive to work, they even did some work! As we while away the days, dreading this Sunday’s trip to Three Point Lane, Chelsea’s PR campaign in support of the head coach continues to fill our days. “Potter and his backroom team arrived at work determined to turn things around.” So what were they doing before?
