Graham Potter has an uphill task to win over Chelsea fans after another humiliating defeat this weekend, adding to a woeful run that has seen the Blues win just two games since early November.
Potter was made Chelsea manager in September following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel, and made a confident start, racking up seven wins in his first two months.
But despite spending over £300 million on new players in January, Chelsea have struggled for form, suffering back-to-back defeats to Manchester City, losing to London rivals Fulham, and finding themselves having to overcome a 1-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund to stay in the Champions League.
Now, fans appear to be turning on the 47-year-old English manager, with boos ringing around Stamford Bridge following a 1-0 defeat to the Premier League's bottom side Southampton at the weekend.
Many Chelsea fans appear to have lost faith in Potter. Tuchel's sacking last year came as a surprise to many – the German guided Chelsea to a Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA World Club Cup wins in his 18-month stint in charge – but it was seen as a move by new owner Todd Boehly to stamp his authority on the club.
