NOT GOOD ENOUGH: Graham Potter hits out at three struggling Chelsea stars after Nottingham draw

NOT GOOD ENOUGH: Graham Potter tells his struggling Chelsea stars to start ‘running through brick walls’ as he tears into flops after lacklustre Forest draw.

Graham Potter has told his struggling Chelsea players to start 'running through brick walls' like their opponents following Sunday's draw at City Road.

The Blues returned to Premier League action for their opening game of the year against Nottingham Forest. A goal from Raheem Sterling in the first half gave Chelsea the lead before a tidy Serge Aurier finish made the game end in a tie.

The Blues put in a noticably sloppy display all round, and while Chelsea fans have called for Graham Potter's head, the Blues' Coach has blamed the lacklustre performance on struggling Chelsea stars.

Speaking to the media after the clash, Potter claimed his boys were not good enough and urged them to do better:

“Our level wasn’t good enough, we didn’t move fast enough.

“It would have been unfair if we had taken more than a point.

“They make teams suffer and we had to suffer.

“On one hand, you have players asking if they can have the players’ shirts.

“On the other, they are thinking, ‘I am going to run through a brick wall here to prove I am good enough to beat, or play for, Chelsea’.

“We have to be humble enough to know that is the challenge we face and we have to do better.”

Todd Boehly has decided he will offload five Chelsea players.

Consecutive run of losses and sloppy display from players are two core reasons the Blues will be considering a squad overhaul this summer, and five players will be offloaded. According to a report from the Spanish publication SPORT, it is claimed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are being lined up for sale which could raise a whopping £129 million. If the market values of the players in question are met, it would provide the incoming Chelsea manager with a hefty transfer chest to spend and bring in a couple of new faces to bolster the squad over the summer.
