According to the world’s bookmakers, Chelsea head coach Graham Potter is the number one favourite to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job. The famed ‘sack race’ is as crazy as the race for the title and the European spots – although it’s the race nobody wants to win.🚨 The message from the owners remains one of wanting to provide support and backing, and yet the growing feeling around Chelsea is that the next two games will ultimately be make or break for head coach Graham Potter.#CFC(@Matt_Law_DT) pic.twitter.com/2Svwnp4BA4— Chelsea Dodgers 🧢 (@TheBlueDodger) February 27, 2023 The Blues’ manager who is under the microscope following three straight defeats. Even though owner Todd Boehly said he wants to support the former Brighton boss, the results and the way the team has been struggling on the pitch makes it very hard to defend Potter.No matter how hard you look, it is hard to see where Potter has improved his team since replacing the popular Thomas Tuchel in September. Chelsea lacked a cutting edge in attack during much of the second half of the German’s time in charge, but Potter’s team have taken the wastefulness to a whole new level.##NAJAVA_MECA_7049302##Remarkably, Chelsea have scored just six goals in all competitions since November 6 – the fewest of any side in the top four tiers of English football and 40 fewer than Manchester United have produced in the same period.Potter has also failed to replicate Tuchel’s ability to produce strong performances and results in the biggest games, with Chelsea 24 matches into the league season yet still without a win against any top-half side.Since the January transfer window opened, Potter has overseen one win in 11 games in all competitions, with his side scoring just four goals in that time. Despite the spending, Chelsea continue to get worse.When it rains – it pours: Chelsea lose Thiago Silva and three more points to London rivalsThe west Londoners are now closer to the relegation zone than the top four and have surely waved goodbye to their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League, with Tottenham now 14 points ahead of their 10th-placed rivals in fourth.Many players have joined the club and it needs time for all of them to get used to one another and start working as a team. But will Potter be given the time he needs?
