Do you think Potter will work out long term?

[joshbrown]

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.

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.

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

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

[ToTheNines]

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.

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

[shaheemjackson]

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

[point]

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

[michaelngiam]

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.

[StarAmbience]

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.

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.

[didntwantmyrealnameanymore]

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

[lupoa]

Chelsea fans let's trust the process!

[LFC_edits]

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

[gampb]

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

That's something I didn't expect to hear

"Two floaters in behind Aubameyang"

[jackmannion]

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 .

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😅

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.
