  • Graham Potter has been unable to steady Chelsea's ship since taking charge back in September 2022
  • The Blues have managed just six points since the turn of the year, with the last outing ending in a 1-1 draw vs West Ham United
  • John Terry has now voiced the need for the Potter-tutored side to get their campaign back on track, urging the tactician to find a settled team

Chelsea legend John Terry has sent Graham Potter a cautionary note amid the Blues' ongoing struggles.

The west Londoners have struggled form under Potter since his arrival from Brighton back in September 2022.

The 2021 Champions League winners have managed just six points since the turn of the year, with three of their most recent fixtures ending in draws.

Joao Felix scored the opening goal for Potters men but were unable to protect the lead as the Hammers restored parity to force the match into a draw.

The result dealt the Stamford Bridge dwellers a massive blow in their top-four bid, with the side sitting 10 points off a Champions League spot.

Terry warns Potter

Terry, a Chelsea icon and legendary defender has now taken some time to send Potter a cautionary note as he seeks to turn around his side's fortunes.

The former England international warned that Chelsea’s current form is ‘clearly not good enough’ and insisted the Blues boss needs to find a ‘settled team’.

"Clearly results are not good enough and we need to get a settled team," Terry said on Instagram while responding to a fan who asked him if he helped Potter secure the Chelsea job.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will be desperate to get their Premier League woes behind them when they take on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

Mudryk, Cucurella 'beef'

Earlier, Sports Brief reported January Chelsea signing Mykhailo Mudryk has left fans confused after he appeared to like an Instagram post criticising his teammate Marc Cucurella after their 1-1 disappointing draw against West Ham.

Mudryk and Cucurella endured a frustrating outing as they failed to make an impact in the match.

At one point, Cucurella decided to play a simple pass to Enzo Fernandez, overlooking Mudryk who was in a better position to launch an attack - much to the disappointment of the Ukraine international.
