That's some fucking good spin that, that even Shane Warne would have been proud of.

Chelsea were in good nick before Potter arrived having finished the previous season in 3rd, as well as winning the Champions League, Tuchel was sacked leaving Chelsea in 6th, he left them in 11th and the following seasons they have finished in 6th now currently 4th with much of the same Billion Pound Squad. 

 

Well, that's the thing with stats - you can look at them in multiple ways. You've chosen to look at it very simplistically, completely ignoring what happened in the months before (there's a reason Tuchel was sacked mid-season you know) and what happened in the months after.

The reality is that they had 22 months of poor/mediocre results in the league and Potter was there for 7 months in the middle of that.

Haven't seen the video, but if you look at what happened to the club before and after, the results don't look as bad as if you view it in isolation.

Tuchel had won 7 of his last 16 league games in charge, playing an awful brand of football. Potter came in and didn't do any better, although did win 5 of 6 Champions League games, which included 4 games vs Milan and Dortmund.

Things then got massively worse after he was sacked and Lampard came in (one win in their last 10 games). The following season under Pochettini, despite having a full pre-season in charge and not having any European football to contend with, it took them until mid Feb to reach the heady heights of 9th place and start regularly winning games.

Basically he had the misfortune to join a badly run club that didn't do their managers any favours. Unlike...oh.

That's some fucking good spin that even Shane Warne would have been proud of.

Chelsea were in good nick before Potter arrived having finished the previous season in 3rd, as well as winning the Champions League the season before that under Tuchel who was then sacked at Chelsea after leaving them in 6th. Potter then left them in 11th and the following seasons since that they have finished in 6th and now currently 4th with much of the same Billion Pound Squad.

There is no quick fix personnel wise but he can tweak how we play and get more of a tune out of this lot. Hopefully he’s sat with Steidten and reached an understanding on how players will be signed. Timing is good and we can get one or two  useful additions still in Jan but oh do we drag things out when it comes to managerial it’s and outs. 

How does that work when the last manager wasn't afforded the same luxury? I agree by the way, any manager needs plenty of time to sort all our shit out and no not just half a season either, be it Potter or anyone else.
