'He hasn’t got too many great ones for me.' Chelsea have huge squad but lack world class players, says former Blues star CFC

, the former Blues striker said “Take Solly March at Brighton, why did he have such a dreadful record?“Now you’re seeing him play in a role at Brighton where he’s getting in positions where he scores goals.

“What was Raheem Sterling doing at Man City, why did he get 20-plus goals? Because he was told to get in certain positions, when the ball is on the other side, you get in and become like nearly in a centre forward role or at the far post area where you will have a simple tap-in.” When asked by talkSPORT host Natalie Sawyer if the Blues boss was not telling his players to get into scoring positions, he replied: “Well no.“It’s just that players are not, you’re doing a formation and then you’re doing the set pieces, you’re doing everything in the game to get goals.

“Bodies in boxes score goals, so you have to be in positions where, funnily enough, some of the best goal scorers I ever played with happen to be standing when the ball dropped to them.”The Blues’ last league victory came over a month ago, with three points desperately needed to keep their slim hopes of a top four finish alive.CLAIM HERE

Who is Tony Cascarino? Some rent a soundbite who opines utter diatribe

Is he on the pitch?

Can Todd Boehly put this man out of his misery please? He's a failure, he can never make it. He should be at burger kings or something, flipping 🍔

EmenaIo

Any British manager/player does anything decent the English press overhypes them, I heard on Talksport someone saying recently that Steve cooper should be the next Englands manager 🤦🏼‍♂️

Potter isn't the first Chelsea manager to have failed to empress. Sometimes, a job can be a little bit too much for a man. TalkSport SkySports Mirrorfootball MirrorSports

watch the John obi mikel interview in Dubai.! Back then chelsea had Cole, terry, drogba, Ballack these were proper winners! If your standards have dropped they would get it in training! Chelsea gone Soft no leaders apart from Thiago&Dave & Coach has no personality

Too many players. He's confused. How doesn't trust himself. A shambles.

But the lads gave it everything

I don't know if Todd Boehly is naive, foolish or lacking in intelligence. Only he doesn't want to see out of pride that he was wrong to hire Graham Potter. Accepting mistakes is a virtue for few.

PotterOut

The fraud has nothing to offer PotterOutNow

Need a striker Sterling is a bottler

Oooohhhhhhh! Tony Cascarino.

Me thinks he has enough good players to have won against Southampton

Terrible take

How many world class players are in Southampton? How many world class players are in Dortmond?

What happened to the “getting mudryk for 100m trophy”

He like every manager at Chelsea knew wot they were getting into,at some clubs is a result base business

Having a massive squad means players are only part timers. It took him a few seasons to get Brighton where they are now. Chelsea I expect won’t be patient as they want instant success

How can a football manager manage when a unknowledable non football man is instrumental in buying players it makes no sense and Chelsea not the only culprit

How long will Potter last?

He hasn't yet got them playing his game. Players think they are bigger than the club.

Tell him with which squad did tuchel carry ucl

Expensive players

He is just not a good coach for Chelsea, period

The truth is he needs player who suit with how to style his play want. A player who can play systemically. but the existing players that Todd bought were good enough players. but it doesn't match what he wants and his criteria.

Did he have any 'great' player at Brighton? No but he made it work. Now he is at one the biggest clubs in England and it's getting bad every week. 'Give him time' he has been in charge since September, we're at Feb & we haven't seen any progress from CFC in terms of results.

Should Graham Potter be sacked?

Absolute bullocks from whoever.

He's a failure. Chelsea is too big for him. He should resign.

He deserves to be sacked

Is this an actual joke lmao

See you got the racist back trevor8sinclair imagine if that was the other way around wouldn't get a job ever again absolute joke wont listen to you again

After spending half a billion the hilarious

Definitely lack a world class manager, or even a decent manager really.
