He has won just nine of his 25 matches in charge of the Blues, who have been bolstered by the spending of £600million in the past two transfer windows. The higher you go, the more pressure you have on how you are as a person." People have a perception that I don’t care and my response is what is that based on? Potter remains convinced of his own ability – but the constant external noise has become wearing. You can say, ‘oh I don’t care’ but you know I’m lying because everyone does care what people think because we are hard-wired to be socially connected. It's nonsense the notion I don’t care. "If you go to work and somebody is swearing abuse at you, it’s not going to be pleasant – or if you’re referred to as the worst person in the history of the club. “The world is tough for everybody.

Chelsea manager Graham Potter says he and his family have received death threats in the wake of the team's poor form.
No one wants to hear about the poor old Premier League manager." Chelsea has won just two of its last 14 games despite huge spending sprees in the last two transfer windows. "There’s a point to be considered, but the world is tough. That’s obviously not pleasant to receive. I understand supporters go home and they’re annoyed because the team aren’t winning. How do you know?"

I think you've got to do what's right for the team and the club. "The anger's there. The feeling's there. You accept the criticism, you accept to be booed if you lose a game, you accept whatever comes your way absolutely. I understand supporters go home and they're annoyed because the team aren't winning but, I assure you, my life for the last three, four months has been fairly average, apart from the fact I'm really grateful for this experience." "The challenge for me is, 'OK, how do I conduct myself?' That's what I always turn round to.

Chelsea news: Graham Potter has faced some criticism for his comments about the Blues' pre-season campaign which was overseen by Thomas Tuchel.
“Todd Boehly and the consortium signed him players. Have you spoken to the owners? Just six Premier League games into the new season, Tuchel was sacked as Chelsea head coach and replaced by Potter. Graham Potter has been criticised for playing the "blame game" after revealing several Chelsea first-team stars admitted to him their pre-season tour was the worst they'd ever experienced. "A lot of travelling, another time zone, a totally different feeling of temperature, huge humidity, so very demanding for first training and the players are struggling with the heat. "It's quite a challenge after change already the third time the location," he told Chelsea's in-house media on the changes across the USA.
In an exclusive interview with TEAMtalk, Ben Jacobs has revealed whether Chelsea will sack Graham Potter, as well as highlighting a looming major change ...
“As a result, the blame for Chelsea’s current run and lack of goalscoring is not being placed firmly on Potter’s door at this stage. “But the board at Chelsea intends to judge Potter in the long term because they believe that he’s a football fit, personality fit and strategic fit. Although, Chelsea obviously do expect to win every game if their history is to be judged by, but it’s not just about the results. “They don’t want to make a cutthroat or knee jerk change at this point. But that’s the difference in approach of ownership. It’s fair comment to say Potter’s stint with the Blues has been nothing short of disastrous so far.
GRAHAM POTTER is never going to mimic Antonio Conte's madcap antics on the touchline.But some words of wisdom from Tottenham manager Conte could hel.
“The best person to be Antonio Conte is Antonio Conte. The best person to be Graham Potter is Graham Potter. Because he is himself and I don’t look at how he is and look down on him in any way.

Graham Potter opened up on Friday about just how mentally tough it has been for him and his family during his time as Chelsea coach.
"I never want to be anybody else. I don't want to be fake. It's been not pleasant at all. That's obviously not pleasant. "My job is to try and act how I think I should act the best way for the team and for Chelsea, and act with an integrity that is right for me," he said. "Not that I'd let you do it, but you can ask my family how my life has been for me and for them.

There is, however, concern that pressure building on the manager could force the hand of the board to make a decision, with Poyet adding: "We don’t know [if the owners will act on pressure], because I don’t know the owner and how he is going to work. I always say that when you go to a place and want to impose your style and convince the players that is the best way, the only option you have is winning. "At Chelsea, you have to win. But he knows, and we all know, that you have to win." "Have you spoken to the owners? "That’s a thing where coaches are paying the price. If you’re at the bottom and you can get a win every now and then, you can survive. On top of that, you have to win trophies! "Yes, I've spoken to them [the board] and it's the same as it's always been," Potter said ahead of the clash with Tottenham. They also see where we're at but at the same time are frustrated because the results are what they are and we have to do better." The west London outfit currently sit 10th, though the overarching message from the club continues to be that of support for Potter. It comes as pressure continues to mount on the Blues' boss, who has struggled to find some form as of late.
Chelsea will be hoping to end their five-game winless streak as they take on London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
With that said, here is the full list of players Potter can choose his matchday squad from as the Blues boss ponders over recalls for James, Silva, Mudryk and Havertz. N'Golo Kante has made his training return, in the same week football.london reported that Chelsea are very confident over agreeing an extension for the 31-year-old. The Chelsea head coach made a number of changes last weekend for the clash against Southampton after their Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund, with Reece James and Thiago Silva notable omissions. There is also no planned timeframe on a return for Edouard Mendy, while Cesar Azpilicueta will be absent adhering to concussion protocols after suffering a scary head injury last weekend. Graham Potter has seen pressure increase on his job in west London after a barren spell in 2023 where the Blues have scored just four goals, resulting in one victory. But, two players still on the injury list look set to make a return soon, each taking significant steps in their recovery progress this week.

Chelsea will be discussing potential candidates for their next manager already, according to an observer who believes the job is too big for Graham Potter.
With that in mind, it only seems fair to give Potter until the end of the season at least. Potter’s contract at Chelsea is supposed to last until 2027. “They want to back him as a long-term solution but we’re not seeing a team that is reacting to him. But there needs to be an upturn in results sooner rather than later if Potter is to get his critics back on side. Potter landed the biggest job of his managerial career to date when he replaced Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea in September. However, Chelsea are willing to give him time,
Chelsea travel to heated rivals Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon in desperate need of a statement Premier League victory under head coach Graham Potter.
Raheem Sterling was one of the few players to come out last weekend's defeat to Southampton with any credit, so he should start on the right flank. The Switzerland international impressed against Manchester City and his skill set would complement that of Fernandez. Enzo Fernandez has been an ever-present in the starting XI following his club-record transfer from Benfica in January and will start once more. It's a game we're really looking forward to, training has been really good, the response from the players has been really good. The Chelsea head coach has come under heavy pressure following a dismal run of results and performances. And the speculation over Potter's position will only increase if defeat is suffered against bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon.
Chelsea manager Graham Potter has revealed some advice he has received from Tottenham boss Antonio Conte before their sides' clash on Sunday.

He continued: "Everyone is different and you can’t help who you are. While Potter cuts a very different presence on the touchline, that's not to say he doesn't admire the passion of his opposite number coming into the game. The Chelsea boss said: "I spoke to him [Conte] when I was at Brighton and we have had conversations. "The best piece of advice he has given me was about doing your best today and not necessarily thinking too much about the future or the past. The former has since been replaced by Potter, while the latter is recovering from emergency surgery he underwent while in Italy. "But my feeling is that he's very close to coming back."

Chelsea news: Graham Potter has been tipped for one of football's biggest jobs, despite the pressure he is under at Chelsea.
Potentially, he could be the England manager in the future. One of those potential jobs he was linked with was that of the England men's national team, something that Parlour says he could still be in the future.

Graham Potter remains safe in his job as Chelsea manager, TEAMtalk is told, partially because of what their owners have heard from across London at Arsenal.
“So the fanbase are growing frustrated, understandably because Chelsea are midtable and trailing in the last-16 of the Champions League. “And I think that’s the most important thing that these owners are seeing and hearing from Potter every day, not just on a matchday. And perhaps most importantly, keeping Chelsea in the Champions League because if they come from behind and beat Dortmund and progress, the mood will change once again. “But Potter doesn’t just have to win over or continue to get the backing of the ownership group. And they believe that in the long term, Potter and their faith in him is going to pay off regardless of what happens this season. But the ownership group is doing everything in their power to try and back him because they’re backing themselves in doing so, this is their vision.

Early in the game, Chelsea were dealt yet another injury blow to what's been an ailment plagued season for Graham Potter's men. The academy product latched onto a loose ball on the edge of the box and brilliantly thumped the ball into the roof of the net. The club captain Thiago Silva suffered a knock early on and was replaced by Wesley Fofana - a bitter blow for Chelsea heading into a crucial part of the season.
Harry Kane and Oliver Skipp scored after Hakim Ziyech's red card controversy to give Tottenham a 2-0 victory and extend Chelsea's winless league run.
It was an obvious red card and Attwell showed one, only to have a change of heart, check the monitor and enrage Spurs by downgrading it to a booking. Eight days on, Datro Fofana was out, Aubameyang was on the bench and Potter, who has a bloated squad, had made six changes again. Chelsea had delivered another muddled display and, although Graham Potter needed somebody in blue to do the unthinkable and score a goal, it was hard to see why this was the moment to turn to a player who had not been deemed worthy of a place on the bench for more than a month. The striker has been shoved to the margins, omitted from Chelsea’s squad for the Champions League, deemed less effective than David Datro Fofana. It hardly suggested that Chelsea, who lie closer to the bottom three than the top four after another demoralising defeat, have a plan. [Chelsea](https://www.theguardian.com/football/chelsea) better than the sight of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang waiting to enter the fray just before Harry Kane sealed the points for Tottenham.

GOAL brings you the winners and losers from Tottenham's victory over Chelsea, which piled more pressure on beleaguered Blues boss Graham Potter.
It's not an easy call to make, but it was clear in north London that the Blues are a team going nowhere fast as Potter fights to find the right combination of expensively-assembled players to get positive results. Graham Potter certainly deserved the Chelsea job when he was handed the reins in September. He had been successful everywhere he had been until that point, and was the kind of progressive coach that felt the right hire to replace Thomas Tuchel.
Chelsea suffered yet another defeat in the Premier League as Graham Potter's side were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham Hotspur.
We huffed and puffed in the second half but we didn't do enough to score. I think we just showed a bit more quality in the final third and whenever you break the deadlock it helps open the game up. I've tried to explain many times about long-term injuries and the players are not able to play three games in a week. I can't think too much about 40,000 people I need to focus on what I can control, which is the next day and the next training session. It's the same in any job anywhere. When you've got three games in a week, it was difficult to pick the same XI. It was a tight game and the first goal was always going to be important. As a team, we're not there in terms of how we want to look and how we want to function. They are good lads who want to win, but at the moment we're suffering, and that is my responsibility. Chelsea made the trip to north London in desperate need of a Premier League victory. And you can't stop the questions. It was Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane who scored the Tottenham goals; Chelsea mustered just two shots in reply.

They're good lads, they want to do better, they want to win but at the moment we're suffering and that's my responsibility." You could see Thiago Silva, the most senior player, when he comes off, it falls apart a little bit, because the team is very young. The only way he's going to be able to control it is by winning his next game against Leeds. And when something goes wrong, you can see that certain individuals feel a little bit sorry for themselves. But on the other hand, as a manager of Chelsea, you also need to give something. 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. Obviously now things have changed a little bit, but that's just the way it is. Despite the spending, Chelsea continue to get worse. Chelsea fans have never really taken to Potter. It is hard to see where Chelsea turn from here.
