Potter might be a good manager but at the same time players are only human…
A lot of these Chelsea players have won leagues and champions leagues and now they’re sat in a dressing room with a man that’s won piss all telling them what to do. There has to be some part of the players that has no respect on a footballing level for a manager that’s won nothing. Do you not think Raheem Sterling is sat in the dressing room thinking “I’ve gone from Pep to Potter”?
That mentality must have a knock on effect for the confidence you take on the pitch
That’s probably unfair on potter because all managers had to start somewhere and had won nothing notable at some point. But I think when big name players are signing for Chelsea, their expectations are to be managed by a proven winner.
