Gary O’Neil
CHELSEA will keep on improving “every week” Graham Potter is manager, according to Gary O’Neil. Potter swapped Brighton for Chelsea back in September, with the former Ostersunds manager struggling to find his feet at Stamford Bridge. The Blues last won a Premier League game back in October, with Potter picking up just 11 points in his eight league games in charge, although in Europe Chelsea have cruised through to knockout stages of the Champions League. Asked for his thoughts on Potter at the Blues,
Gary O’Neil said: “I think that every week that Graham’s there, I expect them to get better. He’s obviously a good coach. He has a style that has stuck for years, so a new group of players obviously need to adapt to that and learn it. So I would think the break has been beneficial to him in sort of getting the players where he needs them to be. It’s difficult. They have changed formation quite a lot. It’s a difficult one to prepare for because, a newish manager that had a real set style at Brighton, but what he’s done at Chelsea hasn’t followed on from that too much, structure wise. So, we’ll prepare the best we can, make sure the boys are ready for what might come their way and give it a real good go.”
