  • Chelsea's lacklustre form continued on November 12 when they fell to Newcastle away at St. James Park
  • Graham Potter's style of play has been widely criticised, with the Blues failing to play like a top-six side
  • Peter Drury has reportedly become the latest person to jump on the bandwagon of questioning Potter's tactics

Renowned football commentator Peter Drury has aimed a brutal dig at Chelsea, following the club's poor run of form.

Chelsea went 1-0 down to Newcastle to register their third successive loss in the Premier League League, following losses at Brighton and Arsenal.

Against Newcastle, they were on the back foot for most parts of the game, as the Magpies dominated the 2021 Champions League winners. Joe Willock scored a beauty in the second half to pile more pressure on Graham Potter.

Potter took over from Thomas Tuchel in September and started off well after embarking on a nine-match unbeaten spree. However, things have taken a nosedive for the former Brighton boss.

According to Sport Bible, Drury decried the state of Chelsea's gameplay against Newcastle.

"Graham Potter's Chelsea is playing a new kind of pressing football, called 'Depressing'"

Drury is known for his poetic lines. He is widely considered one of the best commentators to ever grace the game.

Potter's Chelsea will now take a break as the majority of the underperforming stars leave for the World Cup. They will resume on December 27 when Bournemouth come calling at Stamford Bridge.

Reece James trolls Gareth Southgate

Sports Brief had earlier reported that injured Chelsea star Reece James reacted brilliantly to Ivan Toney's brace against Premier League champions Manchester City.

Toney had the perfect response to being overlooked by Gareth Southgate for the English World Cup squad, as he netted a brace which helped Brentford to a first away win over the Citizens in more than 90 years.

The English striker exhibited an all-round superb display and could have easily bagged a hat-trick on Saturday, November 12 against City, eliciting a hilarious social media reaction from James.
