Chelsea boss Graham Potter has explained his tactical philosophy and vision for his side going forward, claiming he wants consistency in the way they play, despite making regular changes in shape and personnel. It comes after some criticism over the new manager after an inconsistent start to the season.
The Blues currently sit seventh in the league, registering just six wins from 13 games played at this stage, leading to some warnings that they could miss out on the top four. However, Potter has shown that with time he can implement a system if given time, something Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has urged that he receive.
"If Chelsea accept my humble advice, give him time and he will do well," said the Spaniard ahead of their clash in the EFL Cup. "They got good results but the way they play, when I saw the game against Brighton that they lost, I saw many things I remember from his period in Brighton. But he needs time, everybody needs time."
