More blues for Potter after flat atmosphere at Bridge is matched by his players

LESS than two months into the job for Graham Potter and negativity threatens to engulf Chelsea.

The atmosphere inside Stamford Bridge was flat even before Arsenal's 63rd-minute winner yesterday, as the home side were dominated for much of the 90 minutes.

You sensed supporters never fancied their side's chances against the Premier League leaders, who have opened up a 13-point gap over Chelsea.

Arsenal were better drilled tactically and the Blues, despite spending more than double the Gunners in the summer transfer window, managed just five shots, their lowest total for a League game this season, highlighting their lack of creativity.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was booed by the away support throughout and only touched the ball eight times before being hauled off straight after the goal.
