Graham Potter new Chelsea head coach confirmed

[Billy Dean]

Hiya Billy have you found a dog yet.

Hi mate, no I think I'm not gonna get one at the minute. I'd be needing to leave it alone too much. I'm gonna contact the local shelter and see if there are dogs there that need walking from time to time. Is that your dog in your avatar?

Some people have been questioning if Potter to Chelsea is just another Moyes to Man U. I think this passage from this article shows that Potter is completely different from Moyes. It's a diametrically opposite approach.

‘He just won’t waver’: what Chelsea can expect from Graham Potter

His former players recall how the manager cut his teeth at Östersund and Swansea, before rising to further prominence

Which way do you want to die?” That was the question Graham Potter posed his players in the pre-match meeting before his Swansea side tackled Manchester City in the FA Cup three years ago. “It was: ‘They can either beat you with you laying on your back, tickling your belly, or they can beat you if you give it a right good go,” says Matt Grimes, a fixture under Potter during his sole season in charge of Swansea and now captain of the club.

“Because if you sit in a 10-man block, they’ll break you down and beat you anyway, so you might as well make a fist of it while you’re doing it. That’s how he sold it, we were all on the same page and in the end we ran them really close.”

Brighton fans are very sore it seems

I'd imagine Billy Gilmour is feeling a bit under the weather too.
What an odd career that lad is enjoying.

Love the picture of Potter chosen for that article.



The man, clearly, can do no wrong.

No

Yes.

 

[MrGrumpy]

If he can get Chelsea playing like Brighton that one scary team

 

[Saint Domingo]

Sounds a bit like Rodgers with some of the stuff he was coming out with in the presser

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

No

Yes.

Brilliant result for Potter today.
Im glad Chelsea got him as he was always going to move up from Brighton, glad Liverpool didn't get him to replace Klopp at the end of the season.

Think he jumped to soon at the Chelsea job, as I think the England job is perfect for him.

But he’s a very likeable character.

He's a club manager

Yeah - because Potter teams are known for their high-scoring ways!

Palace were robbed. Thiago shouldn’t have been on the pitch to make the equalizer.

Agree on that, big club bias

They got away with it big time yesterday. Tiago Silva probably should've walked when they were still 1-0 down.
