Every word Graham Potter said on Chelsea vs Man United, Kepa, Chalobah, Koulibaly, Kovacic, more exclusively from Football.London... Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge this evening after Casemiro's stoppage-time equaliser. What are you feelings after that, Graham? “First 30 minutes I thought Manchester United were better and forced us back. We had to adjust a little bit there, try to get another player in the midfield and put a bit more pressure on them. They were building their attacks to easily and driving us back, so we had to adjust that. "From that point, I thought we did well in the game. We are disappointed of course to concede late but over the course of the game, I think a point is right for us. I don’t think we can sit here and say we deserved to win because we didn’t do enough to win the game I don’t think. But effort-wise, what the boys put in, was amazing. It was a fantastic effort from the players and I am proud of them f...

 Graham Potter has hailed two Chelsea stars who were crucial to our 1-1 draw against United on Saturday evening. The Blues were back in Premier League action again after a goalless draw at Gtech Community stadium against Brentford and were looking to secure all three points against the Red Devils.  A foul on Armando Broja saw a penalty awarded to the Blues which Jorginho converted to secure the opener for the Blues. Late into stoppage time, Casemiro secured the equalizer for the Devils and ended what would have been a win for Chelsea.  Before the twist of events before the final results, two Chelsea players had been impressive and have been lauded by head coach, Graham Potter. Those players are Kepa Arrizabalaga and Trevoh Chalobah.  Speaking in his post match briefing, per Football.London, Potter said of Kepa: “He contributed again. I think as a team, we defended quite well and gave everything – the running power was there. The area we can do better is when we have ...

 Two Chelsea players are now a source of concern for Graham Potter's Blues following their dip in form in successive run of games played. Raheem Sterling and Marc Cucurella are two Chelsea stars whose recent performances should be a source of concern for Graham Potter. Both players were Thomas Tuchel's signings earlier this transfer window.  Raheem Sterling is now suffering a dip in form under Graham Potter despite a dizzying start to his Chelsea career. The £47million summer signing from Manchester City is now enduring a barren patch in front of goal and it is beginning to show in his performances. It coincides with a run where Chelsea are misfiring, failing to convert chances from open play against Manchester United in a 1-1 draw after a 0-0 away at Brentford in midweek. Thomas Tuchel had pushed for Sterling as his No1 transfer target this summer, agreeing to make him Chelsea’s best-paid player on £300,000-a-week, giving him dressing room leader status and promising to play ...

 Trevoh Chalobah was very crucial to the Blues conceding just one goal against Manchester United.  The Blues ended up with just a point from their Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge against Man United, which is actually the most drawn fixture in the division’s history. Graham Potter’s side thought they had grabbed three points late on when Jorginho converted a penalty in the 87th minute. However, the visitors equalised in stoppage time with a Casemiro header that goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was unfortunate not to claw out. It means Chelsea’s run of five consecutive games without conceding a goal finally came to an end. Chalobah started the game as the right-sided centre-half in a back three, but the change of system in the first-half saw the team shift to a back four. The Englishman partnered Thiago Silva in the back four and definitely gave Gareth Southgate another reminder of his quality.  Not only did his performance receive massive praise from Graham Potter, C...

 The Chelsea coach has explained the current situation surrounding the French man's contract situation at the club.  Graham Potter has revealed that the club will be looking out for N'Golo Kanté's fitness for the meantime before talks of a contract can emerge.  Potter was speaking to the media in his pre-match press conference as we prepare to host Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League today, hoping to continue our head coach’s unbeaten start with Chelsea and a run of five games without conceding. Earlier, there had been reports that Kanté had turned down a contract offer of two years with the option of a further year, while insisting on a full three year contract.  Reports also suggested the Frenchman was keen on a move to Real Madrid, and PSG monitoring his current situation.  Kanté is yet to feature in any game since Tottenham, following a hamstring setback that will leave him out of play for four months as confirmed by the club.  Wi...

Chelsea will be in the race for Victor Osimhen if he decides to leave the Italian club next summer. Osimhen is a player on the wish list of almost every big club in the world for the summer transfer window, and Chelsea are not different. The club have an interest in the Nigerian striker, who could leave Napoli in the coming months for a new challenge. Osimhen's ex-Napoli team-mate Kalidou Koulibaly is currently enjoying his football at Chelsea, and could recommend that the player come and join him in London next season. If Victor Osimhen does decide to leave the club in the coming months, Chelsea are set to be part of the race. According to Graham Bailey of 90min, Chelsea have stepped up their scouting pursuits of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, and will certainly be in the mix for his signature if the player decides he wants to leave the club.
