A section of Chelsea fans has called for the sacking of Graham Potter as club boss, after the team dropped points against Nottingham Forest.
The Blues have been far from their best under the Englishman, with the Stamford Bridge-based outfit managing just one win in nine of their last Premier League outings.
The west Londoners marked the resumption of Premier League action with a 2-0 win over Bournemouth and were hoping to build on the momentum when they travelled to Nottingham Forest on Sunday, January 1.
However, Metro UK reports the Potter-tutored side dropped points against Forest, as they were held to a 1-1 draw at City Ground.

"Graham potter isn’t experienced enough to coach a team like Chelsea. #potterout."
While a fourth observed:

Meanwhile, there are those who were in support of Potter, with some calling for patience.

FootballOne boldly said:
"Our #Chelsea fan base say "Potter out", since he's not even had a transfer window, inherited a side without a striker and with loads of injuries. Give Potter a chance and time. He needs at least 3 years enough to build & develop a team and implement a philosophy. #CFC."
Another noted:
"Chelsea has now won just 1 game in the last seven games... I won't say potter out but I will say Tuchel should have stayed."
