Graham Potter's tragic spell at the helm of London's "Chelsea" continues.

On Sunday, the "aristocrats" suffered a crushing 0-4 defeat to "Manchester City" in the third round of the FA Cup and withdrew from the competition.

Despite the very difficult spell, "city" manager Pep Guardiola defended G. Potter.

"I would like to ask the leaders of 'Chelsea' to give Graham Potter time. I understand that such clubs want results, but Potter needs time.

In the second half, "Chelsea" played well, and what he did with "Brighton" is simply incredible.

All coaches need time. "Barcelona" club didn't need time for me because I simply had Lionel Messi. He alone made a huge difference.
