Raheem Sterling and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have backed Graham Potter to achieve what Thomas Tuchel could not at Chelsea in 2022/23.
The Graham Potter era got off to a shaky start after the former Brighton manager suffered what his predecessor warned about multiple times in previous interviews and press conferences- a lack of clinical edge in front of goal. Of course, things were not ever going to just change overnight with the Seagulls taking time to get into full flight before the rest of the Premier League took real note of the South Coast outfit.
But in this first act of what is expected to be a long era for Potter, he learned that all players are backing his methods and are eager to force their way into the thinking. It took only one defensive lapse from César Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva for RB Salzburg to breach the backline. Despite the disappointing draw, which saw Chelsea remain rock bottom of the UEFA Champions League Group E, Potter only wanted to focus on the positive application of his troops.
