“Come on, guys” – Former Chelsea player gives honest view on sacking Graham Potter

There are some emotional and stern opinions going around about the current situation at Chelsea right now, and every man and their dog are having their say.

One thing that Chelsea fans will often tend to do in these situations is listen to former players of the club, players who have been there and seen it, and often have a valued opinion.

Former Chelsea defender Mario Melchiot now works as a pundit for ESPN and he has had his say on the current situation and whether he would sack Graham Potter or not.

Melchiot is very honest in admitting that whilst he feels sorry for Potter, he would make the change and move him on now.

In words picked up by Si & Dan Talk Chelsea, Melchiot said: “In my time, Graham Potter wouldn’t last, that’s all I can say. When I was playing (1999-2004), no. I feel sorry for him, I know everyone is talking about him, but with results like this… I have to be sorry and make a change.

“He starts talking about [the] All Or Nothing [documentary] of Arsenal, little things that are not necessary. What is important now is picking your starting XI and sticking with it. Then you focus on the details.

“How can one of your midfielders be one-on-one with one of Dortmund’s quickest players? How can Raheem Sterling mark one of the best strikers in England, Harry Kane, on a corner? Come on, guys. These are things I don’t agree with.”

He is absolutely bang on really with those points and it is hard right now to argue any of that. The results have been awful and the team have digressed rather than improved under Potter. It’s a tense moment for sure.
