With potter, this team isn’t going anywhere – go get a better coach boehly, Potter is not the man for this project, Potter is a useless manager – Chelsea fans blow out their angry over Graham Potter not having any playing Pattern
Sign this player, sign that player. When the problem is tactics. Where y’all now whining for more new players when we need a GOOD MANAGER

Chelsea gave a taste of what was to come under Graham Potter, but had to settle for a hard-fought stalemate at the London Stadium, a result that pleased neither West Ham nor the visitors.
Harry Potter can't win a fucking game.

Potter’s team dominated from the start, and Joao Felix had an early goal called out for offside as the Blues pressed for an early lead.
We were robbed. Performance still not good enough though

West Ham’s chances of getting back into the game were hampered further by the injury to Lucas Paqueta, and the Blues scored the goal that their early dominance deserved when deadline day addition Enzo Fernandez found fellow January addition Joao Felix at the back post, who provided a delicate volleyed finish.
With potter, this team isn't going anywhere.. go get a better coach boehly

Kai Havertz thought he had increased the advantage minutes later, only for the offside flag to come to West Ham’s rescue again as Chelsea looked to run away with the game in the first half.
I still can't believe Kai Havertz played 90 minutes. Get him out of my club now!!! POTTER OUT!!!
SACK POTTER BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

West Ham, on the other hand, spluttered to life. Michail Antonio’s attempted backheel forced a wonderful save from Kepa, but their second chance on goal was too excellent for the Spaniard, as Emerson Palmeiri slipped in at the back post against his previous club to bundle in an equalizer.
Potter is a useless manager.

The second half started much more evenly, with Chelsea controlling possession but West Ham looking threatening on the counter. It was a 45-minute match with few clear opportunities, with neither side able to challenge the goalie for the most of the time.
With ten minutes remaining, Tomas Soucek believed he had given his team the lead, turning in after Kepa had saved brilliantly from Delan Rice, only for VAR to rule out another goal, this time in Chelsea’s favor, and keep the game at a draw.
No joy again watching Chelsea play because of the bad coach we appoint

The Blues were then irritated by the technology, as an apparently stonewall handball by Tomas Soucek inside the West Ham box was not awarded on the field and was not reversed by the video assistant.
You guys can't see the coach got issues of not knowing How to use the boys on the field 😤

It finished all square, with the Blues maintaining ninth in the standings and West Ham remained too near to the relegation zone for their and David Moyes’ satisfaction.
