Shaun Wright-Phillips has heard that the Chelsea players are actually loving training sessions under the new manager.

Graham Potter, 47, is the new boss in the dugout at Stamford Bridge. He’s started very well with five wins and one draw from his opening six matches, too.

The Blues head coach puts his undefeated streak on the line tonight when his team play away at London rivals Brentford in the Premier League.

Chelsea players loving training

Former Chelsea star Wright-Phillips has shared that the current Blues squad are really enjoying work at Cobham under Potter’s guidance.

“At Brighton he didn’t have that striker to find the back of the net on a regular basis, but I feel like now he’s not only got strikers that can do it, he also has midfielders. We know Gallagher chips in with goals, Mount we know scores, and he’s got the wingers to do it as well,” Wright said on ‘The Kelly and Wrighty Show’.

“He’s got the guys to put the numbers up and I’ve heard they are all happy and they love his training sessions. As a manager, if you have part and have elite players you have half won the battle.”

Potter is still riding the wave of the new manager bounce, so let’s hope that can stretch into this midweek league trip to Brentford.

It’s obvious on the pitch that his ideas are slowly coming to life, which is very exciting when you consider how eye-catching his Brighton side was.

In fairness, the Englishman has walked in to work with a very talented group of players that maybe just needed some fresh ideas.

Thomas Tuchel deserves to be mentioned alongside the club’s greatest managers in the past couple of decades, but perhaps things turned a little sour during the end of his reign. In fact, journalist Simon Phillips reported last month that Tuchel had lost about 70 per cent of the Chelsea dressing room by the time he was sacked.
