🚨 Graham Potter has held meetings with senior players Thiago Silva, Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic this week in an effect to end Chelsea's poor form.

"The players are honest & they want to take responsibility," he said. "They want to improve, they want to win. There is a lot there, in that respect, we are fortunate. But at the same time, we are in a tough moment and there are challenges that affect the players as well.

Sobrierity & Cruelity- Carney Chukuemeka/Zakaria/Hall

You heard him, he called in senior players for a meeting. Its called leadership. Seeking Solutions to problems from heads up. May be

But it could also be something else. FEAR.

Fear of annoying senior players. Fear of annoying English media. Fear of even flies.

It could also be limited ambition. Seeking temporal appeasements than the bigger picture. Like that uncalled for rotation game at city where he benched on form Zakaria to give others minutes when Fullham game was 4 days away. Twisted ambition and .

But to survive and to succeed he will have to be ruthless. The way Arteta was with our current number 9.

He will need to be sober and cruel.

Sober that Chukuemeka has been more threatening in last two games he has come in than sterling has been since the season started. That the kids contribution in attack and defence way better than the "superstar". That chukuemeka takes out defenders intelligently and aggresively while the other just runs without purpose and looses possesion. That One is barely being fielded because of his past name, while the kid is not fielded not because he doesnt have the skillset but because the other one is a "superstar"

Soberness that Zakaria offers more stability both defensively in possession and in ball progression than J5. Sobrierity that perfomance counts than your name

That Hall despite his age has the potential to break press and dislodge teams defensive shapes than the other expensive guy playing there. That his abilities to step in midfield from defensive areas helps the attacking play than one who runs and gets isolated on the sidelines without so much help to the team. Sober that he is young he is bound to make mistakes and learn than the superstar that has "already reached" stardom.

Then he needs to be cruel and stop listening to the little ghosts of individual appeasement and self glorification in him and do what is good for the team. He is nobody's father.

Otherwise those chants of "We have super Tuchel" will only get louder and then a few sobre and sleeping neutral like us will start listening. And we will be cruel enough to join in.

Chelsea haven’t lost to Fulham since March 2006. However, Graham Potter lost on his last visit with Brighton.

#INGAMEANALYSIS

We have been over run in midfield. Our guys have allowed to be rushed. Unexpected with both Kovacic and Zakaria. Maybe need to add more person to make it a three instead to provide outlay for receipt of passes
