With already an hour played since the final whistle of Chelsea’s home defeat to Southampton, Graham Potter is under immense pressure.
His name is the number one trend in the world right now.
Now for a player this can go either way – we bet Leo Messi’s name was number one trend after Argentina won the World Cup – but for a manager it’s always going to be a bad thing.
It’s a good illustration of the sheer weight of discussion around the coach’s future. Everything possible has been done to back him by those who appointed him, yet the results are so bad that no amount of backing will actually convince fans he’s staying.
We’re not sure how long this can go on – how many managers have survived top trending? It’s surely a kiss of death. We kept saying these games would be crucial for Potter- and he’s lost them all. Where do you go from there?
