Chelsea 0-1 Arsenal: 3 things Potter got wrong in derby

Chelsea were defeated by one goal at home to Arsenal in the Premier League. Pride of London lists three things Graham Potter got wrong in the capital derby.

The Blues performance wasn’t all bad – but it was far from good, overall. This truly feels like a ‘back to the drawing board’ moment for the head coach. The underwhelming atmosphere must be overturned via great team displays.

In matches versus respective lesser opposition, supposedly, the Englishman has generally being correct with regards to his choices and game plans. And, for example, in the testing Champions League against varying levels of teams and in some other countries, Potter got it right in general.

However, some supporters seem overly pleased with the UCL draw against Borussia Dortmund. While CFC may perhaps have been drawn with bigger clubs, the Germans are a dangerous side. Before the World Cup hiatus for domestic football, the west London outfit’s only two concerns are the League Cup and the EPL.

The first match is against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening. A contest in which both sets of clubs are likely to fairly heavily rotate their starting XIs. Subsequently, Chels’ travel away to a very competitive and competent Newcastle United on Saturday evening.

The Magpies will be really up for that one in order to increase an already growing standing. But what does Potter need to put right from the Gunners defeat so to be triumphant in upcoming clashes?
