Chelsea fans fume at ‘worst downgrade ever’ and demand Potter is sacked after loss as Tuchel makes perfect Bayern start
CHELSEA fans fumed at Graham Potter online as their side slumped to a dreadful 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa this afternoon.
And their mood wasn’t helped by ex-boss Thomas Tuchel’s flying start to life at Bayern Munich.
Goals by Ollie Watkins and John McGinn condemned 11th placed Chelsea to defeat.
Simultaneously, Tuchel got down to business in his first match in charge of Bayern.
The German returned to management during the international break, replacing Julian Nagelsmann at Allianz Arena having been out of work since being axed by Chelsea in September.
It didn’t take long for Tuchel to make an instant impact, with his rampant new team 4-0 up after just 50 minutes.
Their first came in bizarre circumstances, as Dortmund goalie Gregory Kobel barely brushed a backpass as he tried to boot the ball away – it instead trickling beyond him and into the net.
Thomas Muller then added a quickfire double on 18 and 23 minutes, before Kingsley Coman bagged a fourth on 50.
Emre Can and Donyell Malen scored two consolation goals for Dortmund, but it was too little, too late to prevent a perfect start for Tuchel.
Taking to Twitter, one Chelsea fan fumed: “How can Boehly sack Tuchel and look at Potter and think, “Yeah let me replace him with this PE teacher.”

A second moaned: “Chelsea really sacked Tuchel for Potter ”
While a third posted: “That Thomas Tuchel impact after one training session but Graham Potter needs ¾ of a season + a preseason before we’re allowed to say he’s had time to improve things. I miss my Chelsea, we look unrecognisable these days.”
Another added: “Sacking Thomas Tuchel for Graham Potter actually gets worse with each passing day.
“It’ll only get even worse now that we’ll have to watch Tuchel at Bayern Munich. Guaranteed success.”
A further social media user fumed: “SACK GRAHAM POTTER NOW. THE WORST MANAGER IN CHELSEA HISTORY. WE ARE LOSING TO ASTON VILLA WHILE TUCHEL IS COOKING DORTMUND. WHAT IS THIS.”
Chelsea’s terrible result leaves them in the bottom half of the Prem table.
While Bayern leapfrogged Dortmund into top spot in the Bundesliga.
