Being compared to the infamous 2015/16 campaign is something no Chelsea head coach wants in their direction.
That was the year when Jose Mourinho was sacked on the eve of Christmas with his reigning Premier League champions hovering above the relegation zone after losing nine of their opening 16 games.
Graham Potter is the first since Mourinho in November 2015 to lose three straight league games. The final of which was inflicted by a Newcastle side that is probably upset the season has to pause; Chelsea cannot wait for it to be over.
