I know that it did not take Graham Potter unaware for him to sign for Chelsea. everyone in the land of football including Chelsea themselves knows  how unfaithful Chelsea Football Club used to be with their coaches.
Everyone knows how they criticize their coach even if he wins five matches, draws two and lose one.
Since he knows all this and still decides to sign for Chelsea he has a plan as he has decided to take the risk to push his career in Chelsea.

Chelsea have now become worst than be, I'm sure  the management of Chelsea  never expected the team to be this way. Tuchel is a better coach , well experienced than Graham.  I'm still wondering where can Graham drive Chelsea to, I can see it is a bit difficult for him.

To restore balance in the squad and drive the team to maintaining consistency of winning games?, and Where are those facts since he was sacked ?, Whatever story that may have caused the sacking, I think that was a wrong decision by the owner and the entire Chelsea management board.

They Forgot that in live there ups and down times and same is applicable to coaching, I never sided the sack of Thomas Tuchel one day, that issues should have been resolved with the team or the management of Chelsea and with time everything would move back smoothly for the club entirely.

Graham Potter did great at the start of his managerian role in Chelsea but things have gone sour since then. Both the fans and The Chelsea hierarchy are losing patience. The Chelsea team has an advantage to return early to league match than Dortmund. Although it's  disadvantage because of lack of rest which might cause fatigue at the long run.

Dortmund also aren't doing quite well. They are losing some kinda of matches they aren't supposed to lose. They are currently languishing at 6 position on the bundesliga table. With teams like union Berlin, Freiburg ahead of them.

Sorry at this time if Chelsea's performance looks unstable, it is clear that Dortmund has plus points because they have played consistently. And if Chelsea still can't determine which direction in terms of management, whether players or coaches are not fully supported, then Dortmund will easily make Chelsea falter later after this break is over.

Therefore, Chelsea still has time to fix all the internal and external gaps that occur. Chelsea is currently in a fairly indecisive condition.

Graham Potter become Chelsea manager when Primer League running few weeks not problem yet because Chelsea have completed squad with star player, but first time become Chelsea manager on September 9, Graham Potter still make Chelsea in underperformance condition right now. Comparison with experienced have by Graham Potter I think there are still have many favorite manager who have more experienced than him.

Still not closed yet with Graham Potter chance bring back Chelsea success at Champion League this season, actually 16 round drawing most lucky with Dortmund opponent seems not really difficult and I think Chelsea have large opportunity lead to next round.

If Chelsea can give Graham sometime I think their will be good result.  Chelsea has never believed to give a coach chance to see if their will be a good result. Chelsea is too quick to sack their coaches when their performance is poor.

The heads of Chelsea are currently backing Potter
They feel he has enough time to turn Those game's around
But Chelsea seem like a club that will loss to Dortmund

The question is, how much time did Graham Potter need to get Chelsea to the title? This is a problem of course, because if it takes too long Chelsea management and fans will get fed up with having to wait long, especially if Graham Potter can't quickly build Chelsea. Like it or not, he had to build Chelsea from scratch, because the squad he had was inherited from their previous coach, Thomas Tuchel.
I hope that if Graham Potter is given longer chances in charge of Chelsea he won't let down those who put the faith in him. Because there are still many coaches who in my opinion are better than him now who are more trustworthy.

My question is a coach other than Thomas Tuchel, who deserves to replace Potter. and you have answered yourself, that Chelsea's current situation and condition is unfavorable with the underperforming performance of its players, plus injured players and that's why Chelsea's performance declined which in the end Tuchel was fired regardless of the club's internal polemic behind it.

like you said, we can't expect any manager to be consistent all the time. even Tuchel himself had a bad season, and you say Tuchel can improve things and it takes time to fix it. So, especially for a new coach. at least, Potter also needs time to be able to recover the performance of his new troop, he needs chemistry with his players, he also needs some experimentation with the available players. so don't expect Chelsea to instantly perform great again with injured players and others underperforming. at least, let's give him time and appreciate the effort to rebuild Chelsea.

even if Potter failed to lead Chelsea to a top four finish, he would be sacked. for Tuchel, he is the past of Chelsea. maybe in the next season, he will coach a new club. in Jurrgen Klopp's case, if he is unable to lead Liverpool to a top-four Premier League finish. it is likely that his career will end, unless Klopp is able to bring the Champions League Trophy to Anfield, Liverpool headquarters.

True, so far I have not heard that Thomas Tuchel did anything that is talked about here. Even if that was the reason, it would be a big mistake for Chelsea to make it public. Because after all it is an internal matter between the Thomas Tuchel family and I don't think Chelsea has the right to speak out about that.
From the start, the reason for Chelsea's dismissal of Thomas Tuchel was because their game was far from satisfactory.

It is understandable that we wouldn't see them succeed on their first year with him, and he didn't even controlled the transfer window neither, he wasn't here, and he was put in charge a lot later which is a proof that Chelsea is not ready to play his style just yet.

However, if given enough time I believe that he could turn the team around and be a lot better, will be a bit difficult to handle but he can totally do that if given the chance. They will have a bit of bad results until they settle, but if given the chance for another year next season, he will do a lot better if you ask me, with all this money it is hard not to be a lot better.

I'm not sure if this story is true because if Tuchel actually did something like this it will be serious issue that will be heard in all corners but this stories sounds like a rumor,  if this led to the sack of tuchel I don't think chelsea won't let it  know to the public and fans. The reason tuchel was sacked is because chelsea was not performing very well.

When Potter first entered Chelsea and started his first game as a coach at Chelsea everything looked so promising but slowly Chelsea seemed to be returning to the Tuchel era which was difficult to win, replacing Tuchel with Potter was actually quite surprising because Tuchel had more international experience with several big clubs, maybe Chelsea management sees Potter as having good potential because previously club he coached BHA quite stable in the EPL, we have to wait and see what Potter can do in after World Cup break whether it will bring good changes to Chelsea

The match between Real madrid and Liverpool will be an interesting match, because the two teams have met many times and it has always been a defeat for Liverpool. Liverpool will try their best so that the same results as the previous results are not repeated in this match. Real Madrid have a very good record when they meet each time, even though they shouldn't underestimate Liverpool.

At the moment, bookmakers are quoting Chelsea's odds of getting into the top 4 as 4.50. In fact, it's only 25% - very little for such a big team, but given the level of competition (including new ones like Newcastle), I agree with the bookmakers. Potter has a very difficult task ahead of him and I'll be interested to see how the management decides if he fails to secure Chelsea a place in the Champions League next year.

The arrival of a new coach will have an impact on the style of play, Chelsea also needs to equip Potter with great players to repeat the success that Tuchel has inscribed. Now is not the time to compare old coaches with new coaches, Potter has just taken charge of Chelsea and he needs time to build a Chelsea squad to get back to competing with elite clubs in the UCL. The presence of several new players is really needed by Potter, Chelsea must move in the transfer market to maintain the chance of surviving in the UCL all the way to the final.

Graham Potter had to act fast to fix everything in Chelsea's body. Everyone knows that Graham Potter came to Chelsea at a time when Chelsea were in a bad situation, that's why Chelsea chose to make the decision to fire Thomas Tuchel.
I hope Graham Potter doesn't suffer the same fate as the previous coach which led to his dismissal. He has to show that Chelsea is not mistaken in appointing him as a replacement for Thomas Tuchel.

This is not judgement,mate,when we see a spade,lets try calling it a spade.They really made a big mistake sacking Tuchel,a coach that is regarded as one of the best coaches in the world.Tuchel was complaining from the beginning when Arsenal flogged them 4-0 at home during preseason ,that it seems Chelsea are not really ready for this season,he also complained about the money they didn't give him on time to spend in the transfer window.
It was just left for the board to be a little bit patient with him to get the best tactics and formation he wants from his side,but their impatience made them sack him,and I'm sure they are regretting ever sacking him now.

tuchel was complicated, he had a lot of time to make changes in the team and he didn't, and the team only had bad results, lukaku was a player who didn't even play for chelsea, until he got injured and even when he recovered he didn't play, chelsea's strikers were the same guys who didn't bring good results and tuchel insisted on keeping them at the beginning of the game and didn't even bring other strikers, chelsea wasn't well, he also refused to accept cristiano ronaldo even knowing that chelsea's attack chelsea was not well, so it's not the board's fault, it was his fault for being a stubborn guy


i agree, you can't change a team just in one season, it needs at least 2 seasons to be able to make big changes in the team and then start to see - if good results, people need to be patient if they want to see chelsea be a good team
