I\u2019ve said this is the toughest job in football. There are lots of factors for that,\u201d Potter told reporters on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe club invested a lot of money in the squad, which (raises) the pressure, the expectation, the noise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the players that we\u2019ve got, they\u2019re not 28-year-old, 400-game Premier League players. They\u2019re young players that need time to adapt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea sacked Thomas Tuchel in September, fewer than seven weeks after the team returned from touring the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Players had their professionalism questioned publicly by Tuchel after a chastening friendly defeat by Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea\u2019s new co-owner Todd Boehly soon lost faith in the German, even though the coach had won the Champions League just a year previously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a sub-optimal pre-season, speaking to our experienced guys, they thought it was the worst they\u2019d ever had,\u201d Potter said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not to blame anybody. It happened. Organisationally, the tour didn\u2019t work as well as they\u2019d like.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t there, I can\u2019t say. Then there was a manager change, old players have left, new players have come in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I turn up in the middle of the Champions League, (playing) Saturday-Tuesday, Saturday-Tuesday. We had the most unprecedented injury situation in that period.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea have won just twice in their last 14 games, and have scored a single goal at home in 2023, with Potter accepting fans won\u2019t have much sympathy for the squad\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think anybody is really bothered,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s the truth. Because I\u2019m the manager of Chelsea. I\u2019ve been asked for four months about pressure. When the results are what they are, you accept them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSupporters are entitled to be angry. My response is there are things that are contributing factors to that result (against Southampton).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not here to convince them (with words). My actions have got to convince them. We\u2019ve got to win matches. There\u2019s nothing I can say.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under-pressure Chelsea boss Graham Potter claims the problems derailing his struggling team had already taken root well before his arrival at Stamford Bridge.
