Weird isn't it. Just a few months ago it was the manager making players underperform, now it's the squad.
Strange how the narrative changes.

In terms of a lack of fight and no goal threat I think probably yes. Even in the doldrums of Div2 Chelsea sides had more about them.

With all players fit we would look very different. We have almost a full team of injured players at the moment and that includes 2 of our best.
This EXACTLY! Honestly the team put out against City was SO inferior, do people think ANY manager in the world would outplay / outperform that Manchester City team with the players we had playing!
We now have to play City away with our second string (and our first string is inferior to City's) I hope people realise this before jumping all over Potter!
I don’t blame potter for the City performance. I think that was more indicative of our squad strength and stupidity in the transfer market.
1. Spending big on players like Kepa ( a complete unknown) in a summer when Allison was available.
Not giving conte what he wanted in lukaku only to buy him a few windows later
2. Spending big on CC when there were cheaper options available with similar quality and not using that money to invest in a DM which the squad has been crying out for ages.
3. Spending on Auba - a player who wasn’t good enough for frckinh arsenal when they finished 5th
4. spending 80 mil on a raw player to replace probably one of the best CBs in the league last season
Potter has made strange decisions but with 10 players injured I don’t blame him for the city loss.
