Chelsea fans have urged Chelsea boss Graham Potter to start Morocco international Hakim Ziyech against Manchester City on Thursday.

The 29 year old came on as a substitute in the 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest and Chelsea fans want him starting against Manchester City.

Why didn’t Graham Potter start Hakim Ziyech, it really pains? 🤔 – @marcus_oriobosa

Here wondering why Potter keeps putting Ziyech on the bench. – @CFCWiz

Why is Potter not starting Ziyech? Don’t know what he needs to do to start, just wasting his talent and playmaking 😕 – @satyam7sharma7

What is Ziyech doing on the bench? Potter isn’t thinking. – @Davin71730130

World Cup semi-finalists Kova and Ziyech being on the bench is criminal from Potter. – @MersimRizmani

Tell me why Potter didn’t start Ziyech?🙄🙄 – @_Copah_Jay

Someone save Ziyech from the bench the guy is too talented… – @babysalma122

But how do you bench Ziyech? The kid is too good, he fought up to the World Cup semi-finals, Potter is not good enough🚮 – @emmanuel_ayello

Am sick of why @ChelseaFC keeps on benching Hakim Ziyech, only to concede a late goal and share the spoils! Potter has to wake up quickly or Chelsea will be relegated! – @ibrahim_006KE

So I have to watch Potter’s Chelsea again and see him benching Ziyech every other game???? When is the pain going to end 😭 – @mingipaws

Potter will watch Ziyech create chances for fun but will still start Mount and Sterling over him. – @SuyashCFC

He created one huge chance that we should have scored. I do not understand the obsession with Sterling. Wallah this is ridiculous. Against Man City, Ziyech and Pulisic need to start otherwise Potter’s head needs to be checked. – @paper_equity

Pathetic. Worrying how they were dominated by a relegation side in the second half. A lot of deadwood in this team. If Pulisic and Ziyech don’t start from now on then Potter is pathetic. – @Frankkoja93

Someone needs to tell this Potter man that “Ziyech needs more starting time.” – @iam_ifegbolahan

Potter having Ziyech on the bench is a crime against humanity. Hope he’ll start against Manchester City 🤲🏻 – @mingipaws

For me, Ziyech was brilliant today. He tried to create some good chances but the others couldn’t turn them into real opportunities. Potter needs to start him in the next game against Manchester City.

He needs more minutes on the pitch, playing 15 minutes isn’t good… – @naibeeez

Neither of our wingers are “@ChelseaFC level” but Pulisic has done far better than Sterling. I don’t know why we must continue to pay this stupid “English player hype” premium. Potter should drop Sterling and start Ziyech and Pulisic. – @ademuyiwa_idris

Let Ziyech start instead of Sterling, please Potter. – @MYGF39

What is Sterling still doing on the pitch when you have Ziyech on the bench? Potter is still clueless. – @charlonchi

Ziyech should have started ahead of Sterling if Graham Potter had a clue of what he is doing. – @AhmedMoniem10

Potter, it’s time for Ziyech to start ahead of Sterling. – @Vincentbrian

Imagine if Potter replaces Sterling with Ziyech for the Man City clash. – @avbade

No Ziyech, no party!! the team is going to face Manchester City in the next two matches, so he should have given Ziyech an opportunity, and it’s will benefit the team too, some players are going to rest. But seriously Potter just doesn’t love Ziyech. – @YassirOu11

Imagine Graham Potter saying Ziyech should be patient before getting into Chelsea’s X1 while the likes of Mount and Gallagher are playing week in and week out. When I said he was a clueless manager a few days back, some people were crying. – @Joos_only

Well, it’s obvious now, Potter will never truly trust him. Ziyech needs trust to shine. Period. – @ZiyechBrasil

Potter, is the worst coach I have ever seen, you have a creative player like Ziyech, but you prefer to start with Pulisic and Sterling 🤦😂… – @MjahedZoubair

Graham Potter is not for Chelsea. He is just average. Not starting Ziyech who creates the chances. Need a Coach of A class. Chelsea will not even have a chance to play in Europa League. – @chelseaprashant
