Gary Neville has delivered his verdict on the future of Chelsea manager Graham Potter, who is facing a crucial few weeks to keep his job at Stamford Bridge. The Premier League defeat against Southampton extended the Blues run without a win to five games.
A shock defeat to managerless Southampton, who remain bottom of the league despite beating Chelsea, came just three days after a Champions League loss to Borussia Dortmund. Despite spending £323million in the January transfer window in the hopes of solving their attacking woes, the Blues have scored just once in their last 450 minutes of football in all competitions.
Pressure is now mounting for Potter with the London derby against Tottenham this weekend now more important than ever. But despite the Blues' shocking form under Potter, Gary Neville does not expect Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali to make a rash decision on Potter's future.
