Chelsea boss Graham Potter has revealed he has no problem with the jeers from fans following Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Potter said: “They’re professional footballers, they play for Chelsea, they understand the demand, they understand what it is, where we are, they’re not stupid. They accept the responsibility, they’re honest, they want to do better. We’re there fighting for each other and fighting together so there’s no complaints for how the supporters respond.”

Potter was also asked why Mason Mount was left on the bench against Aston Villa.

“With Mason, I just felt we were there in the game. We made some attacking subs and wanted to see how it all landed. Mason is coming back and only had a couple of days training.”
