Paul Merson says it will be extremely difficult for manager, Graham Potter to recover if Chelsea compound a particularly poor run of form with a loss to London rivals Tottenham this weekend.
Potter, who supposedly still has the full support of the club’s hierarchy, has won just twice in 14 games in all competitions and oversaw the Blues’ 1-0 defeat to the Premier League’s bottom side Southampton at Stamford Bridge last Saturday.
Chelsea’s expensively-assembled side left the pitch amidst anger and a chorus of boos at full-time, with some voices near the dugout calling for the former Brighton manager to leave.
In his latest column, Merson explains why a defeat to Tottenham on Sunday could prove costly for Potter, while also discussing woe at West Ham, Newcastle’s goalkeeping conundrum ahead of this weekend’s Carabao Cup final and how the Premier League title remains Arsenal’s to lose.
It isn’t good at Chelsea at the moment. It was a big football match on Saturday, Chelsea were playing bottom of the league. The best two players this season have been Reece James and Thiago Silva. He didn’t play either of those two players, he looked after them. He could have said ‘my job is on the line, I’m going to play you’ and worry about himself but he hasn’t.
A lot of the players at Chelsea are the same, but no better than what was there before. From the outside, it doesn’t look like these are players he would have gone and got. You wouldn’t expect to need time to settle in at that price.
The forward-thinking players are no better than the ones they’ve already got.
