If there's any method of kick-starting a football team, Chelsea need to find it fast.
The Blues were beaten 1-0 by Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League round-of-16 first-leg clash on Wednesday, with Karim Adeyemi's second-half strike proving the difference. Despite the result in Germany, Graham Potter felt it was a positive performance from his side and hopes that Chelsea can turn the tie around in three weeks' time amid their dismal 2023.
That match will no-doubt be a key point in Potter's timeline at Stamford Bridge, with the pressure mounting and making a deep run in the Champions League currently his most realistic avenue for success. Co-owner Todd Boehly is still willing to splash the cash, but the question of whether or not Potter will get to fully enjoy the fruits of such financial backing is looming larger.
