'I'm Cabable': Potter Uses Guardiola And Klopp As Examples,Appeals For patience

Graham Potter was asked in a press conference on Thursday whether his job is at stake following Chelsea's poor form.

“The owners are billionaires so they’re quite smart, smarter than me, that’s for sure. So they understand the challenges that we have and the direction we want to go in," Potter said.

"I’ve been here four months and five, six weeks of that have been lost to international football.

“I think Pep (Guardiola) was (at Manchester City) a year before they’d won anything, and then obviously Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp took a bit of time.

"But obviously, it’s maybe different for me, for some reason. But I don’t put a timescale on it. I know the responsibility we have here.

“But also I know that I am capable, and I know the quality that I have and I have the full support of certainly the owners, the players and the staff here. And you can see by the support we had (against City), it was fantastic, so there will always be people that doubt.

“There’s nothing you can do, but certainly I’m not here to convince anybody. I’m here to do my work and then if that convinces them that’s fine,” Potter added.

Chelsea have won just two of their last 10 games and have picked up six points from a possible 24. It's a dip in form that sees the Blues in danger of missing out on the Champions League next season.

Reports in England suggest that Potter will not be axed even if Chelsea eventually doesn't qualify for next season's Champions League.
