Graham Potter is being afforded more time than many Chelsea managers in the past have been given as his side continue a run of form equal to their worst in 30 years. It sees the Blues teetering on the edge of the top half of the table.
The goalscoring numbers since October are as bad as any side in the entire football league whilst Blues fans have made their voices known against the current performances. Three defeats in a row, one to bottom of the league Southampton and another to fierce rivals Tottenham, has seen the line crossed.
That is not yet the feeling from the new owners though who continue to stand by Potter at a time in which Roman Abramovich would have pulled the trigger on a sacking a long time before now. Different times call for different measures though and there is continued patience in the camp.
