Chelsea this season are less a well-oiled machine and more the sum of very expensive broken parts.
It doesn't bear repeating just how much Todd Boehly and the ownership team have splurged in an attempt to rebuild the Blues, but on current form, it looks like someone has flipped the table rather than successfully putting the pieces of the jigsaw together. Against Spurs the Blues looked bereft of ideas and Graham Potter cut a frustrated figure on an isolated touchline.
The Englishman is reportedly unhappy with the number of players that he has to train, with it disrupting his methods and messages. As the head coach however, it's on Potter's shoulders to make big calls and tough decisions and he has the power to send players not in his plans away to work with the ones he wishes.
