  • Graham Potter has come under fire from a section of Chelsea fans who want him sacked
  • The Blues boss found himself on the receiving end after his side drew against Nottingham
  • Chelsea were hoping to secure a favourable result to boost their chances of making the top four

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.

Fans want Potter sacked

Chelsea's disappointing result sparked anger and frustration from some fans, who took to social media to demand for the sacking of Potter as the manager.

One tweeted:

"Potter out. Let's get Enrique."

A second added:

"New year. Same Chelsea. Potter out."

Another posted:

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

While a fourth observed:

"Chelsea hiring Potter to replace Tuchel was the biggest mistake of the club's history. Potter should've been hired as an assistant manager to Tuchel."

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

One 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."

Chelsea fans want doctor back

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that former Chelsea first-team doctor, Eva Carneiro has strongly hinted at making a return to the club on social media.

Carneiro was a beloved figure, especially among the Blues faithful, for her passion in treating the players and her dedication to the position.

At the moment, Chelsea is battling an injury crisis as a number of superstars are in the treatment room with varying injuries.
