Even though Chelsea lost to Southampton on Saturday, Graham Potter is still in charge of the club.
Potter is thought to be one of the best young managers in the Premier League, and Chelsea has high hopes that he will lead the team back to a place where it can compete for the Premier League and the Champions League.
But after a good start, Potter is already under fire and is expected to be the next Premier League manager to be fired. This is because their shocking loss at home to Southampton at the weekend put them 10 points behind the Champions League spot.
But despite this latest setback, Matt Law of The Telegraph says that Chelsea’s position hasn’t changed because the club’s board still has faith that Potter can turn things around.
Potter, on the other hand, said that Chelsea’s game against Southampton was “a step back” after their loss to Borussia Dortmund earlier this week in the Champions League.
After a 1-0 loss at home, the Chelsea manager said, “Any criticism you get is fair.”
“I think we’ve been through a tough time, and bringing young players into the Premier League has been a lot of work.” When things don’t go the way you want them to, it can be hard.
“There are definitely going to be people out there who think I’m the problem. I don’t think they’re right, but I’m not so cocky as to say they shouldn’t say what they think.
“It’s my job to help the team and keep working as a group. We had to make some changes today, and the truth is that we got worse in the first half.” The response in the second half was good, but not good enough.’
