[Football] Potter [NOT] at Chelsea

[Javeaseagull]

Funny as it would be, if this goes to extra time I'm off to bed.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Comfortable and deserved win for Chelsea.

Expect the winning run to continue on Saturday - they’re away to Leicester.

To prove my point on the encroachment rule being barely followed, I went to Saturdays game no less. Ok it’s not the exact split second he kicks it here but Soucek is clearly 3 feet encroaching in the semi circle so clearly was encroaching. If Ali Mac had missed does anybody think VAR would have ordered a retake? No chance. (Click image to enlarge)

No, it probably wouldn't have been called. Unless Soucek ended up getting the rebound.

Glad Potter hangs on.

 

[BBassic]

BOOOOOO

 

[Icy Gull]

There is no way that GP has lost the dressing room, annoying as that is to me

 

[Swansman]

That was definitely a lot better than it has been for months. Impressive performance.

Chelsea played well tonight but Dortmund didn’t turn up in either leg.

 

[oldboyroy]

Congratulations Graham Potter, you've turned the corner and answered your critics for now(****)!

 

[Pavilionaire]

The only plus point is that they'll have 2 more matches to play in Europe, which won't help them in the Prem.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I dislike Chelsea as much as the next man BUT on a human level, I am pleased for Potter.

 

[Munkfish]

They played well tonight. Bit tin pot the amount of celebrating going on though.

 

[Sheebo]

No, it probably wouldn't have been called. Unless Soucek ended up getting the rebound.

Yes you’re right - but they aren’t technically the rules and it’s another inconsistency innit’

 

[zefarelly]

Meh. Hardly a classic game.

Just hope Chelsea remain patchy until we go there for 3 points Please.

Less than half the squad played tonight. It’s the others that he’s got to win over.

I wonder how comfortable he is whilst attending his acting lessons on how to win over the fans

Why? He left this club for dead.

 

[Sheebo]

Why? He left this club for dead.

Exactly - can’t wish him any sort of success with Chelsea whatsoever and luckily he’s making an absolute pigs ear of it - tonight isn’t turning a corner or anything for me - nor was a narrow win Saturday against a relegation battle team. Chelsea need to be winning 7/8 out of 10 games - and should be - with the pathetic transfers they’ve made. Anything else is failure - and gutless Graham and his team he poached are failing massively still. Not even saying that as a bitter BHA fan either.

 

[timbha]

Don’t think they should get carried away. I would have expected most EPL teams outside the bottom 8 to have beaten Leeds and Dortmund at home.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Why? He left this club for dead.

Because as well as a good coach, he’s a decent man and he and his family have had death threats and you could physically see the stress it was all putting on him. It’s just football.

Probably the best Chelsea performance so far this calendar year.
