How Belle Silva reacted to social media post criticising 'deadbeat' Chelsea boss Graham Potter

Thiago Silva's wife, Belle, has liked a post on Twitter labelling Graham Potter a 'deadbeat tactic-less coach.' It comes as pressure mounts on the former Brighton man after a damaging defeat to Southampton on Saturday.

Potter was booed off the field for the third time in a number of weeks as Chelsea were condemned to the latest shock result in a string of poor form stretching back to October. Although Blues fans have voiced their frustration towards Potter he appears to have the continued backing of the owners, for now at least.

With one win in nine games, Potter chose to rest star players for the game against Saints due to fitness concerns after an intense Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund in midweek. Silva was one of those that missed out, the first time he hasn't played since October.
