EPL: Chelsea coach, Potter receives sack warning

By Adeleye Kunle

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Tim Sherwood, has warned Chelsea manager Graham Potter that he will be fighting for his job if the Blues’ wobble continues.

Sherwood also claimed that Chelsea are making summer signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang look ‘terrible’.

Following a bright start to life at Stamford Bridge, Potter’s tenure at Chelsea is going through a tricky period after the west London club picked just two points in their last four matches.

Potter’s men lost 4-1 to Brighton at the end of last month and also failed to bounce back on Sunday as they lost 1-0 to Premier League leaders Arsenal at home.

As a result of their latest results, Chelsea have now slipped five points outside the top-four positions and 13 points behind Arsenal on the log.

However, Sherwood believes Potter will be under immense pressure at Chelsea if they lose to Newcastle United next weekend in their final 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
