Chelsea‘s sixth Premier League defeat of the season left them in 10th place, but manager Graham Potter said he continues to feel the support of the players and the club’s ownership despite their struggles.
Chelsea, who announced the signing of Molde striker David Datro Fofana on Saturday, have put in a run of poor performances under Potter in recent weeks, and their 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on Thursday was their fourth loss in six league games.

The London club were also knocked out of the League Cup by City in November, damaging their prospects of winning silverware this season, though they remain alive in the Champions League and will face Borussia Dortmund in the last 16.
Potter highlighted the beginnings of Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta’s reigns at City, Liverpool and Arsenal respectively, and the fact that the trio all failed to win a trophy in their first seasons in charge of their clubs.
