Chelsea fans have taken to social media to demand that their new head coach, Graham Potter, be fired after only two months in charge.
The Blues have not won in five league games, and it appears that fans are growing impatient after the latest defeat.
Newcastle was allowed to coast to a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in a performance that Chelsea fans described as “disgusting.”
Some Chelsea fans called the performance against Newcastle ’embarrassing,’ and Potter a ‘disgrace’ during his time at the club.
‘Disgusting, embarrassing, and same mistakes and same mistake playing style from Potter…’ said one fan. What exactly is this football? #potterout’.
‘Potter is embarrassing,’ said another. It’s as simple as that. ‘How come no one notices that?’
Many Chelsea fans clearly miss their former manager Thomas Tuchel, which could explain why they were so quick to turn on Potter.
Potter has struggled to fill the void left by the German coach, and many have questioned his ability to step up to a big club, with one person claiming that Potter only moved to Chelsea to “chase glory.”
‘Clear lack of mentality,’ said one Blue. It’s a disgrace to play like that against that type of opposition. Potter needs to shake his small-club mentality.’
When Potter arrived from Brighton, fans hoped he would bring his free-flowing football style from his time at Brighton to Chelsea.
However, it has yet to be seen, with one fan declaring, ‘Potter needs to go.’ There is no pattern or idea. Even average football players can play well.’
The World Cup appears to have come at a good time for Potter, as he is now able to take a break and look to re-energize his team following the tournament’s conclusion.
Some Chelsea supporters, however, believe the 47-year-old should be gone by then or the club will face relegation.
‘That should be the end of Potter at Chelsea,’ one fan said. If the owners do not act quickly, we will be fighting for relegation.’
