Chelsea player ratings from Stamford Bridge as the Blues hosted Liverpool in the Premier League in their first match since Graham Potter's sacking.

Chelsea Football Club has released the following statement after tonight's Premier League fixture against Liverpool...
Chelsea's post-Potter era kicked off with a wasteful performance against a shaky Liverpool side as both sides fight for minor places.
[Mohamed Salah](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/173896/Mohamed-Salah) was rested rather than dropped, as was [Andy Robertson](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/104943/Andy-Robertson). But although he performed like a player ready to take off, Felix summed up Chelsea in many ways -- lively, but erratic and with no real finishing touch. Kai Havertz on the sacking of Graham Potter: "We have to take responsibility what's going on. With a reported buy-out fee of £70 million at the end of his loan, however, he will need to do much more to earn a permanent move. It summed up the threat he posed with his direct running and willingness to take the ball. [Trent Alexander-Arnold](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/223532/Trent-Alexander-Arnold) was poor at the Etihad, but [Cody Gakpo](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/249524/Cody-Gakpo) was a rare shining light in defeat, yet he was on the bench too. [Report: Chelsea and Liverpool draw](/soccer/match/_/gameId/637891) [Chelsea](/soccer/team?id=363) and [Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364) extended their miserable [Premier League](/soccer/league/_/name/ENG.1) seasons by playing out a dismal goalless draw at Stamford Bridge in the home team's first game since the sacking of manager Graham Potter. Klopp knows his players better than anyone, but by making so many changes, it gave the message that Liverpool have given up hope of climbing into the top four this season. [Harvey Elliott](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/280806/Harvey-Elliott) meanwhile didn't even make the bench. In this game, Chelsea had the better chances and saw two goals ruled out -- one for offside and the other for handball -- but they showed little sign of a positive bounce under interim manager Bruno Saltor. [Reece James](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/189007/Reece-James) and [Kai Havertz](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231182/Kai-Havertz) saw goals ruled out by VAR for Chelsea and [Mateo Kovacic](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/154595/Mateo-Kovacic) missed an easy chance to score in the second-half.

[Potter was sacked after just seven months in charge](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/breaking-graham-potter-sacked-chelsea-26615397), with just three Premier League wins in the entirety of 2023 leading to a decision being made.

[Chelsea](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/) spent over £300 million in the January transfer market, a spree which coincided with Potter's worst run of form at Chelsea and Keys has linked the spending to what he described as a 'shambles'. "I really wanted Potter to succeed, but it’s been evident for weeks that he was out of his depth.
It has been a while since Bayern Munich sacked their former manager Julian Nagelsmann, in favour of former Chelsea FC manager Thomas Tuchel.
As fate had it, a sudden news leak forced the board to come clean and put forth the formal news of his sacking. The contract of five years with the fee of €25 million made one thing very clear — the club believed in his vision enough to entrust a massive, long-term project in his hands. It was sudden and unexpected, for both the fans and an unsuspected Nagelsmann who was enjoying a quiet ski vacation. The Rekordmeister certainly aren’t the kind to throw money around for anyone, but they wanted Nagelsmann and came in ready with a huge amount. Chelsea are currently managed by interim manager Bruno Saltor, who took over after Graham Potter’s sacking. Though it has been lesser than two weeks since the sacking was announced, it feels a lot longer than that because of simply how much has transpired.
Chelsea and Liverpool played out a 0-0 draw that served to show exactly why they have struggled in the Premier League this season.

Attempting make the correct call here with so many spinning plates and factors at play is hard enough, doing it with added time pressure of the Champions League is even tougher. Perhaps more than anything it allows for more time to seek out the next permanent manager with due diligence. He has no experience of management though and could yet be replaced by the time Chelsea visit Santiago Bernabeu next week. Frank Lampard has emerged as a shock option for the vacant manager role at Chelsea after the former Blues player and coach was seen at Stamford Bridge.

The footballing world has been rocked with manager departures recently, and Chelsea could potentially replace Graham Potter with Julien Nagelsmann.
Defensively, the Blues were solid, and with a bit of time, Nagelsmann could potentially be a good fit for Chelsea. Sterling scored after 12 minutes to put the Blues ahead, and they managed to hold out for a huge victory. It was a respectable performance from Chelsea though, with the Blues managing a higher xG than City. A second consecutive away trip for Chelsea, Nagelsmann faced Bournemouth who were in the relegation battle. Like the Forest game, it was a very even battle at Old Trafford, but Nagelsmann was able to pick up a vital three points after Havertz's 25th-minute strike secured a 1-0 win. Chelsea were handed their toughest test under Nagelsmann just four games in, a trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal. Nagelsmann had the chance to return to winning ways as Chelsea hosted Nottingham Forest, and they did just that, albeit narrowly. Just four wins since the start of 2023 led to [Potter's dismissal](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/breaking-graham-potter-sacked-chelsea-26615397), with Chelsea sitting 11th in the Premier League. So, could Nagelsmann lead Chelsea to a European finish this season? We used Football Manager 2023 to update the Premier League table to its current state, with Chelsea in 11th, 11 points off the top four. High-flyers Brighton were up next for Chelsea, and Nagelsmann picked up another point in his first game at Stamford Bridge. Away to Wolves, the relegation fighters snatched a 1-1 draw against the Blues, with Ruben Neves cancelling out Reece James' opener.

He managed Tottenham for several seasons with success, despite not winning trophies, and I believe he would be prepared to embrace the challenge at a big club like Chelsea." However, Rivaldo has claimed he wouldn't be surprised if Pochettino joined the blue side of London. Pochettino managed 293 games for Tottenham between July 2014 and November 2019. It has also been reported that the club wish to interview at least five candidates for the post after acting swiftly in replacing Thomas Tuchel with Potter in September. The ex-Tottenham boss has been one of the names listed on a four man shortlist considered by the club hierarchy. Last night's goalless draw with Liverpool has only added further reason to sound out a replacement sooner rather than later.

With the two Blues veterans pushing forward and pressuring Liverpool in possession, that denied Jurgen Klopp’s team a route out of defence through the middle of the pitch, while giving our January signing room to dictate the game.

Napoli's Victor Osimhen is the dream ticket but Sportsmail understands Chelsea want to sell a few players first before looking at his price tag. Enrique would have a decision to make regarding his goalkeeper, though, with both Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga receiving criticism this season.

Firstly, following his exit from Bayern, Nagelsmann wishes to take a period of reflection before getting back into the management game, while a new club likely looking for a manager ahead of the 2023/24 season could tempt him away from the Chelsea job. He also claims an imminent sacking is possible and that the French club have made 'first contact' over Chelsea for Nagelsmann. I wouldn't go to any team but to one that could do important things, which greatly reduces the number. London rivals Tottenham are also eyeing a swoop for the former RB Leipzig manager after they parted ways with Antonio Conte in the March international break. However, with former Blues boss Thomas Tuchel now at the helm, Bayern were shockingly knocked out of the German cup on Tuesday evening by Freiburg making the decision to part ways with Nagelsmann appear even more baffling. Julian Nagelsmann looks set to be a sought-after manager this summer following his surprise sacking as Bayern Munich boss in March.

The club legend was sacked in January 2021 just over a month after taking the team to the top of the Premier League table. But the high expectations at Chelsea demand he comes up with an answer with this group. The draw with Liverpool on Tuesday night was a perfect example of their toothlessness right now. The previous year his side had ranked 16th for converting clear-cut chances. But could he have a similarly decisive impact on this current crop? "There are no plans that anyone is aware of at the moment for Lampard to be Chelsea's next permanent manager, but we've seen this happen in the past. If anyone knows about the demands - and ruthlessness - at Chelsea it's Frank Lampard. In his second season, they were playing well and were top of the table about a month before he lost his job because of a poor run of form. "Things went wrong for him in his final month in charge, but people do forget that he did do a good job as the Chelsea manager in extremely difficult circumstances. If they were to win it, it would be an incredible achievement. He lives close to Stamford Bridge, he's available at the moment and he's been the Chelsea manager before. "Even that experience hasn't changed the way Chelsea supporters think about him.
