Just to add that Potter hasn't done anything to convince anyone he is the right man. It's been roughly 4 months since he got the job. Not 1 single player has improved, if anything they look like they've gotten worse. There is also no style to the play, no passing patterns, static movement. I think the truth lies somewhere in between. Its Potter and the players.

He didn't see them for a month!! Not only that his first team is on crutches!

The 90 minutes left me angry, depressed and empty, in that order. Felix would have been a huge positive, if he hadn't stretched himself into that lunge. He looked like he wanted to beat his man and be direct. Huge disappointment that he will now sit out the next three, but not Potters fault. Their first goal, a deflection that took Willians shot away from Kepa, who would easily have saved otherwise (maybe - it was straight at him, but.. more later) was just bad luck, not Potters fault. Shortly after we had a shot deflected that took it towards Leno, bad luck again. We bossed large amounts of the game and got a deserved equalizer, only for Felix to make a tackle he should have never gone for, bad call on his behalf, but hardly Potters fault. Finally another Kepa clanger (what was he thinking?) gifted Vinicius (Snr I presume) an opportunity my grandad could have found the net with, but not Potters fault.

Now I have to listen to idiots attack Potter as the reason we are, where we are, again. Watching so called "experts" clamor for his head and stoke the sh*t. I wasn't at the game myself but according to ESPN fans were singing Thomas Tuchel's name, if true they need taking outside and having a word with. TT's transfer choices are the main reason we are in the sh*t now. They weren't working for him, so he was fired, remember? He brought in duffers like Aubamayang, Cucarella, Sterling, Koulibaly, none are anywhere near worth what we paid.  We need a class keeper (Mendy? don't make me laugh, he's got two left feet) and a proper finisher (no idea who, but i don't get paid thousands to watch football around the globe and find him.)

Face facts - we are not going to finish top 4 - will be lucky(?) to even get Europa. Time to stop expecting this team to win every time they walk out. It ain't happening, so get off the team & Potters backs and bloody support the club. There are are enough opposition fans who hate us, already fanning the fires our own idiot's are starting. If the footy gods are reading this - please find some other team to have your sh*ts and giggles with.

This is a great post,  I have been a fan of this club for 45 years I know a lot of other fans that have been going to the Bridge for as long as me too and NONE of us that have been fans this long wan't Potter canned! WE can remember the last time the club had sh*te recruitment and kept blaming/changing the manager!  It resulted in us narrowly avoiding Division 3!

I do support my team through thick and thin, and always have done so. However that does not mean I have to support the manager, whose incompetency is clearly wasting the abundance of talent we have in this team, which is what this whole discussion with droyman has been about.

And what 'abundance of talent' did Potter have at his disposal the moment Felix left the pitch!!?

 
I'm yet to see a decent passing move from our team. The movement is non existent and players that have been available such as mount, Havertz, chalobah and many more haven't improved. I'm not expecting the world but he can't even seem to get the players to give 100% which is the bare minimum. I'm not asking for him to be sacked, in fact I'd rather we stick with him but between now and the end of the season he needs to show something.

Really? Maybe the squad, but the current team? If we had the 3 missing defenders available, I guarantee we'd be much higher, though maybe not top 3. The competition is only going to get harder, Newcastle, Spurs (with the poss new PSG investment) & Man Ure regaining form. There is no God given right to success Jack, if you can't handle the bad times with the good, supporting Chelsea may not be for you. But you are  a funny man, and I appreciate that...

I detect a hint of sarcasm in this post. Look you are entitled to your opinion about GP and the squad, and I appreciate you may not share the same opinion as me, however I find it a bit disrespectful when new members come on here and start questioning longstanding members allegiance to the club.

Not at all Jack, but just because I haven't been a longstanding member of the forum, doesn't mean I haven't put my time in at the Bridge or supporting the club. The two are totally separate things. I go back to the early 80's, my all time favourite player is Pat Nevin, and I can assure you I saw things you can only have watched on youtube. However, my point of just supporting the club, and yes to me that does mean I support the manager (the only one I was deadset against was Benitez but weren't we all) , I stand by. No disrespect to a member with 1.1k posts, honestly..
