“Why Chelsea failed to beat Nottingham Forest” – Graham Potter finally reveals
It’s new year as the Blues started with a 1-1 draw against relegation threatened Nottingham Forest.
However, fespite dominating possession against Nottingham Forest, Chelsea struggled to create good goalscoring chances.
Following the match, Chelsea boss Graham Potter BBC Match of the Day:
“It was overall below par for us.
“You have to credit Forest, they did what they did well. We didn’t do well enough when we had control.
“Not easy to create against Forest because they can defend deep and attack spaces well. We can improve that.
“We suffered in the second half so in the end it’s a performance we’re not happy with, we have to accept the point but we are disappointed.
“It’s always disappointing to concede how we did, watching the game we weren’t in control at that point anyway.
“As much as I’m disappointed with the goal that’s not the reason we dropped points, our overall performance wasn’t good. We have to be honest and try to improve.
“The substitutes came on and helped us. [Mateo] Kovacic gave us more control in midfield and Hakim [Ziyech] had some good contributions.
“Performances from subs was positive, [Conor] Gallagher was unlucky with the chance so there were some things but we’re disappointed.”
