The supporters want the former Brighton manager sacked following the Blues’ poor run of results since he was hired

Chelsea fans have called for coach Graham Potter’s sacking following their poor run of form that culminated in Sunday’s 4-0 thrashing by Manchester City.

The FA Cup defeat saw the Blues exit all domestic cup competitions, having won just two of their last 10 games, losing six games during that period, to put Potter under immense pressure from the club fans.

While some, including City manager Pep Guardiola, have called for patience, the disappointed supporters feel they might end up fighting relegation if the former Brighton and Hove Albion manager stays longer. Here are some of their comments as sampled by GOAL.

Just the beginning

They had a top, top manager in Thomas Tuchel but sacked him for reasons only best known to them. This is just the beginning, they will see. – Abdulsalam Temmytope

Should never have sacked Tuchel

They sold their colour TV (Thomas Tuchel) for black and white (Graham Potter) so what do they expect. They have not seen anything yet. Trust the process. – Egya Enimer Ebo

The owner is the problem. And with his emotional decision-making, he will drag this team into the mud. Shouldn’t have sacked TT [Thomas Tuchel]. – Andile Ngomane

Tuchel signed average players

Potter is not the problem. Chelsea is suffering through Tuchel’s recruitment of average players. – Sam Yare Haji

Potter not to blame

You can blame potter all you want but he’s not the problem. Chelsea’s squad depth is poor and the fear factor left the club the moment the previous owner sold the club. The problem with Chelsea is from the new owners and they’ve decided to invest in the youth! I’d advice all Chelsea supporters to be patient with the project and stop blaming Potter. – David El-habib

Defensive mindset killing Chelsea

You don’t win a game by having a defensive mindset. Attacking formula is the best way to win games. Chelsea now comes into every game seeking to avoid defeat, instead of thinking to win. This mentality cannot produce positive results. – Paulinus Ugwuja

Potter poor tactically

He changes an organised team to a disorganised one. Very poor tactically and mentally. – Ayele Imamu

Chelsea now needs Jesus

Chelsea fans are so ungrateful and perplexed. They fired a Saint [Tuchel], accusing him of ineptitude and now they employed an Angel [Potter] and still not convinced of his professionalism. Maybe Jesus Christ needs to leave his throne to come and save Chelsea this time around. – Chukwunomunso Ogr

Sack Potter

Potter is the problem. He has no tactics of the game. This guy needs to be sacked. – Charlix DA Junior

Everything has to change

First, the board and owner need to have their head examined, then sack Potter. Sign a coach with better experience with big teams, sell off some players and don’t let us be sentimental about it. We need to build. Finally, buy players who are hungry to compete and willing to fill in the gaps of those positions we lack. If we can’t buy, then bring in some of our players that are on loan who are doing good. – Tosin Timehin
