Potter keen on bringing the best out of this Chelsea star

Chelsea manager Graham Potter while assessing Raheem Sterling’s overall club form since he left Manchester City for the Blues in the summer reiterated that it is unfair to judge individuals in a system that is not yet functioning as efficiently.

According to Potter, the focus should be on improving the collective in order to bring out the best from the likes of Sterling and his attacking teammates.

‘He’s come into a new team that have lost some key players over the summer, brought some new ones in during the transfer window and had a manager change,’ added Potter. ‘The team hasn’t functioned as well as I believe it can and Raheem, along with all the players, has suffered for that.

‘It would be wrong for me to say that Raheem has been at the absolute top of his game but he’s not the only one. It’s my responsibility to help the team function better so that he can play better because he’s got the quality of a top player.’
