When Chelsea traveled to St. James’ Park Stadium to play an in-form Newcastle United team, they were defeated once again in the English Premier League. The Blues’ disheartening 1-0 loss to the Magpies was a clear indication that they were not playing at their best. Joseph Willock’s lone goal was sufficient for Newcastle United to defeat Chelsea and earn all three crucial points.
According to Graham Potter, it was Chelsea’s third loss in the English Premier League and fourth straight loss overall. The English Manager who took over for Thomas Tuchel at the club has come under fire for his poor team choices and inconsistent style of play. Graham Potter has been with the West London side for just two months, but following yesterday’s humiliating loss for Chelsea, a number of club supporters have called for his dismissal.
Early requests for Graham Potter’s departure, in my opinion, demonstrate Chelsea supporters’ rudeness. When it seemed almost impossible, Graham Potter joined a Chelsea club that was under the direction of Thomas Tuchel and helped them advance to the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. Chelsea’s star players, including Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Ngolo Kante, sustained injuries along the way, which undoubtedly hurt any team’s performance.
Graham Potter’s team is now unbalanced, forcing him to employ players outside of their natural roles.

We can also discuss some of the team’s top players’ inconsistency, which is not Graham Potter’s fault. This season, players like Raheem Sterling, Kai Havertz, Aubameyang, and many more have struggled to provide Chelsea a consistent run of strong performances. For Graham Potter to do well at the club, he needs more time and a team that is evenly matched.
