Potter gets sack warning after defeat to Arsenal

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Tim Sherwood, has sent a warning to Chelsea manager Graham Potter ahead of the pressure he will face to keep his job if the Blues’ poor form continues.

Sherwood further claimed that the Blues are making their summer signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang look ‘terrible’.

This is coming after Chelsea suffered back-to-back defeats to Arsenal and Brighton in Premier League.

Their recent defeat to Arsenal saw them slip five points outside the top-four positions and 13 points behind Arsenal.

Sherwood believes Potter will be under immense pressure at Chelsea should they lose against Newcastle United next weekend in their last match before the mid-season break for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Speaking on The Kelly and Wrighty Show, Sherwood said: “You can’t argue they have not got the strike force. Chelsea are making two prolific goalscorers in the Premier League, Aubameyang and Lukaku, look terrible.

“They need to look at themselves. I know it’s two different mangers, it’s not all Potter’s fault, it’s Tuchel’s as well.

“But that control of the game is quite boring. I like control of the game and playing progressively forward, but they are not passing it forward quickly enough.

“It’s very difficult to get continuity when Graham Potter keeps making so many changes. You are not at Brighton anymore, you can’t experiment, you have not got time to do that.

“If you lose one more game, everyone will be looking at him. They are not playing well and we don’t know his best side.”
