Chelsea had to go through a painful night after being defeated by Fulham 1-2 in the Premier League, not only that, Joao Felix's debut was even rewarded with a red card from the referee. The worse fate of the Blues made #PotterOut resonate and become a trending topic throughout the world.
In the match that took place at Craven Cottage, Friday (13/1/2023) early morning WIB), Fulham took the lead through Willian's goal in the 23rd minute. However, Chelsea managed to reply through Kalidou Koulibaly's goal before the first half ended.
A few minutes into the second half, Felix made a high tackle on Kenny Tale. Referee David Coote immediately gave the 23-year-old a red card.
Felix's dream of making his Chelsea debut has been sweetly shattered, instead making his club play 10 people so that they are unable to contain the host's attack. Fulham also managed to close with a win thanks to Carlos Vinicius' goal in the 72nd minute.
Last night Chelsea's fate really slumped. No wonder the hashtag #PotterOut resonates. Netizens are busy urging Graham Potter to be replaced.
"Potter Magic, extraordinary. Losing to a strong team like City is probably normal. But losing to a team like Fulham is embarrassing. Buy a defender and a new attacker just for display. Better for Potter to join ronaldo, learn to train the Arab league first. #PotterOut," said @Sep_tian29.
"I am Darrel Kenneth Wiriadinata. I hereby declare that I will stop being a Chelsea sponsor until Graham Potter steps down as Chelsea coach. #PotterOut," confirmed the account @ken_dinata.
"He has done a lot in his managerial career to get a job at a club like Chelsea let alone receive financial backing from one. He won nothing, the only thing he proved was a loser. #PotterOut," said @CFC_Matt__.
"I'm surprised that Chelsea's management didn't learn from Lampard when he was a coach. It's true that a good coach like Tuchel was fired, and his replacement, Potter, whose quality is not much different from Lampard's. But at first it was because of the war between Russia and Ukraine that made Abramovich pull out , transfer embargo anyway," said @Sep_tian29.
"Potter should have left yesterday. After all, a coach from nowhere knows he can lead a club as big as Chelsea. It's better if Thomas Tuchel has clearly given the UCL Champion. Chelsea's coach's habit after giving the UCL trophy must have been fired afterwards...," said @ abuibrahim_aziz
