Graham Potter: Fresh Problems for Chelsea Boss As Players Become Unhappy With Former Brighton Boss's Decisions

• Graham Potter's decision to omit a few players from Chelsea's squad vs Tottenham 'offended' the players
• Chelsea currently has at least 30 players with only limited spots in the starting XI and on the bench
• The club will have to clear out some players in the summer as Potter struggles to save his job

At least four Chelsea players are said to have been left disappointed by Graham Potter's decision to omit them from the match-day squad against Tottenham Hotspur.

Chelsea went 2-0 down for the first time at their rival's new home ground to compound Potter's problems with possibly not participating in European football next season now a reality.

Second-half goals from Harry Kane and Oliver Skipp were enough to do the damage to level Chelsea with only two wins from their last 15 games.

Ahead of the game, Football London reports that at least four players were shocked after they learnt they wouldn't be in the squad.

Chelsea's huge squad

Apart from churning out good results, Potter is struggling to satisfy a bloated squad after the club's intense forays in the transfer market that saw at least eight new players arrive in the January window alone.

The former Brighton boss is spoilt with options, with many senior players struggling for game time. For the Spurs clash, Marc Cucurella, Carney Chukwuemeka, David Datro Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah were reportedly disappointed after they failed to even make the bench.

There was a place for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who hasn't been involved a lot in recent times for the Blues.

With time quickly running out for Potter, he will have to find a way to maintain squad unity as he attempts to get things in order. Chelsea's next two games are vital clashes against Leeds United and Borussia Dortmund at Stamford Bridge.

What Potter needs to fix at Chelsea

Sports Brief had earlier given a guideline of the things Potter needs to fix immediately at Chelsea to save his job. He is arguably facing the greatest test of his career as he struggles to save a sinking Chelsea ship.

Talks have been rife that perhaps managing a 'top-six' club came a tad bit too soon for a coach who had shown so much promise at Brighton and Östersunds.

As he may know by now, a draw and an 'excellent performance' without the results does not cut it at a club of Chelsea's stature. His favourite excuse of the players giving everything after a loss has rubbed fans the wrong way.
