Graham Potter's days at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea manager could be numbered after the Blues' 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday. The 47-year-old faced significant criticism earlier in the year after Chelsea went six without a victory, but in the space of seven days the Blues secured three consecutive wins which including a Champions League knockout triumph over Borussia Dortmund.
Just as things looked set to improve, Chelsea suffered a minor setback prior to the international break with Everton twice coming from behind to secure a point in west London. That small blow soon became a significant one though with the Blues losing at home to Aston Villa on Saturday evening with the supporters inside SW6 letting their feelings known at full time.
"I understand when you lose at home that the emotion of the game that people are going to be disappointed and frustrated and angry," Potter said after the game. "Where we are in the league table, no-one is happy with. Whatever criticism comes I have to accept."
