Chelsea boss Graham Potter has insisted he’s not the problem as Chelsea poor form under former Brighton boss continued on Saturday with a 1-0 defeat to Southampton.

Chelsea fans booed Potter following the embarrassing 1-0 defeat to Southampton on Saturday but Potter has now claimed he’s not the problem.

“After a 1-0 defeat at home, any criticism you get is understandable,” Potter said.

“I think we’ve had a tough period and I think we’ve had lots of challenges in terms of integrating young players into the Premier League. While results don’t go your way it can be tough, that is how it is.

“I’m sure there will be people out there that think I’m the problem, absolutely. I don’t think they’re right but I’m not arrogant enough to say their opinion isn’t worth articulating.

“My job is to help the team, keep working through a team period, we’ve had to make some changes today and the truth is we took a step back in our performance in the first half.

“The response in the second half was good, but it wasn’t good enough.”
