It seems to me that the problem is not so much in Potter, but in Boel himself. Having dispersed the management and staff, adapted to the current squad, having bought expensive players in a random order, but not suitable for the coach he hired, he ensured that the players became indifferent, not interested.
The fact that things are bad, I realized at the very beginning of the match. At one point, Chelsea covered City with high pressure, Havertz got the ball in the corner of the penalty area, and he … went back and passed to the center circle. Well, the reverse replacement of Aubameyang is indicative. Players, with very few exceptions, simply don’t want to play. Kepa on his knees looks at the shots going right inside the goalkeeper.
If it goes like this, then it can come to a struggle for survival. In the Premier League, those who stumble are ruthlessly trampled down, and up to 40 points guaranteeing a game in the Premier League next season is still far away)
