Operation sack Harry Potter

Nah... At least he will need one major transfer window before they talk about sacking!

As it stands, Chelsea's season is in his hands!

Chelsea plssssss oooooooo!!! At least do it for the Queen bikonu.

Graham Potter is now just over 24 hours away from taking charge of his first match as the new Chelsea head coach.

The Chelsea Chronicle has tackled the very difficult task of the predicted Blues line-up that Potter will select on Wednesday night vs Red Bull Salzburg.


Chelsea are currently preparing to host Austrian champions Salzburg tomorrow night in the Champions League group stages, which is the club’s final match before the international break.

It’s the start of a new era at Stamford Bridge following the sacking of popular manager Thomas Tuchel.

His successor Graham Potter is no stranger to a three at the back system, so we are predicting he doesn’t go too outside the box during his first game in charge at a new club. After all, he’s only had a few days working with a new squad of players.



Here is the predicted Blues line-up against Salzburg in a 3-4-1-2 shape:

GK and defence
It’s been confirmed that Edouard Mendy is ruled out this week through injury, so surely that means goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga will get an early opportunity into the Potter reign to show his worth. Perhaps under new management he can try regain the number one position in-between the sticks.

It’s a new-look combination we are predicting as part of a back three.

The prediction is veteran Thiago Silva at the heart of a back three, who must be a dream player for any manager. He could be flanked by summer signings Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella to complete a new and exciting defence.

That would mean Kalidou Koulibaly and Cesar Azpilicueta sit this one out on the bench, but it’s very much a blank canvas so predictions are difficult.

Surely, Cucurella’s name will be on that starting XI paper due to his connection with Potter last at Brighton. The question is whether he starts as a left-sided centre-back or a wing-back, though.

Midfield
We are predicting England pair Reece James and Ben Chilwell get the nod to start against Sazlburg as the attack-minded wing-backs.

There’s only been brief moments so far this season of Cucurella and Chilwell on the pitch together, but it’s a really exciting left-hand side you can guess Potter wants to try out.

The midfield pivot in this side is made up of experienced duo Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho, leaving the likes of Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek as options on the bench.

It would be a return for £50million Blues player Jorginho, who didn’t start either of Tuchel’s final two games in charge.

Well maybe under Mr Boely

PSG will have to kneel down and explain to us why they sacked Pochettino if they fail to win this Champions league or reach the final!

The most star-studded team in Europe playing like Crystal Palace!

Kyase:


Well maybe under Mr Boely

Yeah... Either way, they can't sack 2 coaches in one season!

Worst case, they manage Europa Conference League next season!

*In pidgin*

Chelsea fans una Neva see anything yet

You are the one whose brain is paining.

Is lyk you dey ment......Try go do mental rehabilitation

Chelsea is playing well.

All champions league tonight played half time draw

Chelsea not playing that bad..

Isn’t that hand back suppose to be a P.K?

Magic central midfielder

Mount and jorginho

A lot of running for chelsea

What havertz does in the training ground to cajole coaches to play him every week still baffles me...he can never succeed in EPL...NEVER!!

Tuchel came and met an handicap team that was set up by a baby coach.

He miraculously pulled off the stunt of winning the Chamiopns league with them...

Rather than figure out ways of improving the already demystified team, he went to further shatter whatever that was left in the team. What was difficult in signing just one experienced striker? Even if Na C Ronaldo sef wey dey find Champions League football.

Haba!!!

Watching Aubameyan and Sterling play feels like watching Iranian league.

Who would belive that some of these lads won a major trophy less than three seasons ago?

Watching them play is so tasteless!

Kyase:

Yep
Chelsea always do well after they sack their managers

I expect them to win tonight

Win with Jorginho ?
Ok oooo

Na curse ??

Kyase:


Now you are talking

The team is severely low on quality, especially in that midfield department! No connection, no synergy, nothing!

The attack is washed out and barely communicating.

Can't say much about the defense cos Salzburg didn't come to ball tonight! They haven't bothered Chelsea at all!

A proper team should be leading Salzburg by at least 1 or 2 goals at the half hour mark.

Chelsea midfield is easily bullied as you said, Auba is missing
The only good thing about the team today is the forward passes
