Chelsea are very much stuck in a rut right now, and it’s a very toxic feel amongst the fanbase and around the club.
Everyone has their opinions on what is wrong and what is right, and many fans this week have been calling for Graham Potter to be sacked. Yet through the media at least, the club have been fully backing Potter this week through briefings.

But former Chelsea captain Frank Leboeuf believes that there is an issue still at the club that has been around for a long time, and is actually nothing to do with any manager.
Leboeuf believes that there is still a lack of strong mentalities in this Chelsea squad and a lack of leadership and experience.
The former Blue turned ESPN pundit has penned his latest exclusive column for Si & Dan Talk Chelsea this week, and as ever, he wore his heart on his sleeve on a number of subjects.
Leboeuf said: “The biggest issue we definitely have is lack of strong mentalities still in the squad. I have friends still inside the club who have been working very close to the players. And apart from Cesar Azpilicueta, there are no leaders. Thiago Silva is a technical leader but he doesn’t talk that much in the dressing room. Azpilicueta is the kind of player from my generation in the way that he is fighting for the club that he plays for, not only for himself.”
