Mauricio Pochettino ‘waiting’ for Chelsea job offer as Graham Potter faces judgement day | Football | Sport

Potter’s hopes of turning things around will start on Friday when they take on Fulham. Injuries have taken their toll on Potter’s squad, but Potter isn’t looking for any excuses.

“In terms of the Premier League, we have lost four matches – to Newcastle away, when we had nine players unavailable, we lost 1-0 to Arsenal, we lost on a bad day to Brighton and we lost to Manchester City,” he said. “We have also drawn to Manchester United and Brentford so the results in a small space of time aren’t positive.

“You can make excuses and look for reasons or say it isn’t good enough. Both of those answers are correct. We have to keep improving and stick together because clearly we are suffering as a football club and it’s not nice at all. But that’s where we are at the moment.”
