Do you think Potter will work out long term?

I think my biggest fear with Potter is the trying to adapt your game each time to your opponent. Yes you're meant to exploit weaknesses, but when you're the big team, you're expected to take control of the match and play your style and then tweak it to exploit weaknesses. I feel with the approach Potter takes, it means that often Chelsea don't take control early in the game and this means it can too often spiral, as this only gives smaller teams confidence. Compare this to when City play and they just suffocate the smaller the teams.

Chelseas season ended last season when RJ got injured, the same happened this season.

What you described doesn't seem like what Potter is doing with the centre backs. To send a LCB or RCB up the field and then the other two drop back to centre was what Tuchel did. Potter does not work this way. He drag out the LCB and RCB to wide positions to support the two wingbacks so as to create numerical advantage. But the downside is Thiago Silva is often left along in the centre position. Without a Kante-like CDM Chelsea suffer from a lot of fast counter-attacks. I don't know why he didn't change after a few times being caught on the break, but what you described is not what he has been doing.

GP will be fine. He's one of the innovators in today's game. He's just go through some teething issues

Football fans are like goldfish. He was touted as one of the most talented managers in premier league, with Brighton steadily climbing season after season. Now he’s in a bad spell with Chelsea and everyone is saying he’s no Eddie Howe lol. Who himself was considered a talented manager until he got the sack and everyone started saying he ain’t anything, until he transformed Newcastle. How bout we give Potter at least a seasons time before judging him.

with injuries and the then pending world cup it was difficult to judge Potter , now is the right time

To be fair, we've been without the first-choice wingbacks James and Chilwell due to injury. The replacements don't fit as well, by necessity and not by choice.

I don't think Chelsea fans should be feeling so negative. Well, this is the first year Chelsea begin their rebuild, many challenges are waiting for the team. Potter is the right man to place the first bricks to build a new reign, he may not achieve any trophy, his legacy is ready for someone else to win, like Carletto's case with the tripple UCL Real Madrid. He built that squad and Zidane just need to maintain morale.

Thank you so much, i keep saying potters formations are irrelevant but back 4 brexit chelsea fans always want a back 4 to play their "dm" not knowing what potter actually wants or that there are multiple ways to allow for a dm

Love the videos. Great analysis for football nerds like me. Also you should do how gakpo will fit in at Liverpool Or Emery Aston Villa tactics

One thing I was always impressed by is webster’s role at Brighton, but I can’t think of a Chelsea player that could do that. But either way I think that potter should focus on getting the players to play the same roles as at Brighton, like for example March, gross, and trossard’s roles

It can work out of course,especially now that Potter can build his team without Roman or Marina, but its a different team than others he's managed before. He has to win games and probably won't have the luxury of people letting poor form slide,despite the fact it could for tuchel. Tactics aren't an issue,it's just the players,but with the youth Potter has ie Hall,Webster and Hutchinson it won't be a problem much longer

Hey,pls analyse about Jude bellingham strengths and weakness.and analyse which team he would be perfect to suit in. From a real madrid fan😅

I think Potter will be good long term. Lets remember he took Brighton from a relegation candidate to a top 6 contender. Something we praise Eddie Howe for doing yet Potter did the same without the massive transfer budget Howe has had. He's proven in the Prem in terms of winning football games. The question is handling the pressures of Chelsea. Being reevaluated after each loss. Unhappy international stars on the bench. Etc. If he can manage those things well, I believe its just a matter of time till the on field product will be up to par with the rest of the Top 4 again.

That's something I didn't expect to hear "Two floaters in behind Aubameyang"

Trust him and give him a long time. ln this season,let's be patient. Trust and support

Can u make a vid about Allegris Juve tactics?

Chelsea fans let's trust the process!

At the end of the day .. there is no balance anywhere in this team.. there are no tactics and combination of 11s that will allow any part of this team to function the way it should. This is a result of years and years of poor scouting and buying specific players for specific managers and there playing styles . We need a squad rebuild that has a set playing philosophy and we need to buy the right profile of player instead of buying players who can only function in a certain system for a certain manger much like jorginho being a sarri player and not really being able to give balance outside of sarri system .

Shouldn't have sacked Tuchel at the first place

This aged like fucking milk.

Potter approach without the ball need improving them no press high up the pitch often enough. They are too easy to play through in midfield

I have faith in GP. I think he's gonna really go for it now and he needs to because what really matters is climbing that table

Will he change the team on this type of play

Nukuku will be good signing he is good at thigt space him and mount will be crucial

Now you re do this video with the new signings that chelsea have

Please do Newcastle

Pls do Dortmund under tezic🙏

Bro we have so many injured players

No doubt is changing Chelsea. From title contenders to top 10 team, for now. But I will relax only after we make 40 points. Because the way it goes he could change us to First division team no doubt.

I think that potter needs to lean into pulisic as much as possible. He has his weaknesses, but he’s more aggressive than Chelsea’s other attackers and also plays better when he gets to play his full game. Chelsea should imo use two strikers with pulisic and mount out wide, and use sterling as the main man off the bench. I think potter probably wishes he had giroud, because giroud x auba would be way better than havertz x auba

Please break down Dortmund tactics

Yeah...changing from top to mid table team.

Luis Enrique is available. Spanish coaches are the best for projects and they win trophies within that 3-5 year project and Spanish coaches make sure their teams play beautiful football.

No matter what yo7 need stability. What his approach without the ball

Talk about Newcastle United

Chelsea's best players are Kante and Reece James. They have missed many games. Imagine Liverpool without Salah and VVD. People need to calm down. We just need to get players to remain fit and we can play at our optimum

I don’t think people have actually comprehended the transition the club has gone through, we’re in the middle of the biggest re structure in world football, and on top of that an unthinkable amount of injury’s, we’ll be back, things are only just getting started 😮‍💨

I don't think Chelsea will finish in the champion League postion this season.

Trust the process CFC fans just fire one more manage

The 'magic' is slowly manifesting from Potter...

Are you South African this accent sounds weirdly familiar 😂

What "tactics" it's just vibes and praying Mount does something

More than tactics it's his man management which can be questioned so far. He's looked far too calm and relaxed at the touchline and in his post match conferences after those terrible losses. Yes we've had to suffer with poor recruitment but you can now tell what Tuchel was dealing with. A squad with a bunch of over rated and mediocre players at best and yet he made them win the CL. That's why Tuchel was world class. Potter looks lost imo and he's gonna get the soft backing of the English media cause... He's English! I'm afraid he'll just turn out to be one of the many over hyped and over rated English managers over decades (Lampard, Gerrard, Rodgers etc)

Chelsea need; LB RB LW CAM CDM

Reece James is a 24 not 26

Thanks

Newcastle

All of this is now completely irrelevant now he's switched to a back 4 but good analysis all the same. 👍

Good manager, but does he have time?

6:47 couldn’t this be a manifestation of Potter’s chelsea taking more risks than Tuchel’s in the final third. Was an issue under Tuchel. Might not be, just posing the question.

Tuchel would never let this happen. Discuss :

i miss tuuchel

After Nottingham game Ahaha

Potter doesn't know his first 11.This his first time having so much talented players in his career and that why his struggling. I believe he can be one of the greatest manager in epl, gave him time his learning.

Potter making chelseafc weak.... How are they strong sitting in 10th.... Come guys open your eye this guy is a mid table specialist

This explanation is very confusing. Please add player names instead of numbers next time.

Graham potter shot himself in the foot by not switching to a back for when he had major injuries to his natural wing backs. Could’ve saved him a few headaches and premier league points

For me, I never rate English managers highly. I will be surprised Potter works at Chelsea. I need trophies not this flexibility nonsense and playing players out of position which is so annoying

If Potter plays jorginho consistently without getting a DM or creative midfield in January, he deserve to be SACKED.

Noooooooooooooo

Playing players out of position has to stop at Chelsea. Simplicity brings beauty in football. All these flexibility nonsense leading to midfielders playing wingback is absolutely rubbish. I

This is not how potter plays wtf

The problems with him are: 1. He plays a lot of players out of their positions and keeps doing that 2. He plays Fantasy football with the team i.e. changing it too much even in FF you pay a price of too may changes 3. He has no winning mentality i.e. he sets up the team quite defensive and hopes for a 0-0 draw against teams like Arsenal, City, Newcastle and obviously you will lose against those when you go for a draw 4. He makes a mistake, sees it changes it in that game (Brentford, United matches) but in the next game he does the same. He has played Cucurella as full left back too many times and everyone sees that Cucu is terrible there but Potter doesn't have it! 5. People complain about injuries but like to ignore that e.g. even when Chilwell was ready he was being benched in favor Cucu, you have Azpiliqueta who plays fix in Spain but then he favors RLC who should not even be in this Chelsea team. His favoritism especially towards English players is another issue of him. Long story short he is not at the calibre of Chelsea as no English coach is either. No top club in the world (including PL) assigns an English coach since they are nowhere close to world class coaches.

Good content personally I think people need to ease off, this season with all the changes was gunner b a transitional season, on top of that we've had some key players out through injuries any side would miss them! We've invested in some real quality youth and think given a little time, he's the right man going forward I like his style of football what he done with Brighton was fantastic he's now got world class players to work with I've no concerns at all we have no divine right to be top 4 people need to be realistic this season but I know we'll be right at it next season and many seasons to come!Bohly personally although very different to abram is going about things very nicely investing in the best youth throughout the world give it a little time CARE FREE!!!

Please Newcastle

He ain't no Eddie Howe.

Why don't you have a debate with the fans who knows what the club needs? Playing a back 3 won't work anymore. Look at spurs with conte. I can video chat to share my opinion

👍🏻

They are not getting the results. His team not pressing the ball

funny

Tuchel is ten times better than Potter, Chelsea's board are clueless to sack Tuchel and hire an English man, England doesn't produce good managers.

I am begging you Newcastle

Anything that involves back 3 won't take us far long term

Potter is very small for Chelsea,,,, Chelsea is to Big for potter

U mean how Chelsea become Brighton no 2🤣

Biggest downgrade in managerial history idc

Челси ныне это средний клуб, который больше ничего не выиграет, спасибо санкциям

Tinpot club

Too much tinkering

Potter is out of his depth sadly

just sack him

Potter out 👎🤢🤡

This is what happens when you sack a UCL winner for a Brighton manager. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out it won’t work.

Newcastle
