Some Brighton players reportedly already think Roberto De Zerbi is a better manager than predecessor Graham Potter.

Potter, who managed Brighton for 134 games, left the Amex Stadium in September to make a high-profile move to Chelsea.

The 47-year-old Blues head coach has had a very challenging start to life at Stamford Bridge, experiencing a new kind of pressure under the big lights.

Despite losing highly-rated boss Potter, Brighton haven’t regressed. In fact, 43-year-old De Zerbi has slotted in seamlessly and currently has a better points per game ratio as Brighton manager than Potter.

De Zerbi preferred to Potter

TalkSPORT journalist Alex Crook has delivered some intriguing information about the feeling inside the Brighton camp.

Apparently, there’s Brighton players that think they’ve actually replaced Potter with a better manager.

“I don’t think Potter has been helped by De Zerbi coming in at Brighton and propelling them to a new level. I speak to people at Brighton all the time and there’s players in that dressing room who say that De Zerbi is better than Potter,” Crook told talkSPORT.

It’s worrying to hear the Brighton players already preferring De Zerbi to Potter after such a short spell under the new man.

There’s doubts starting to creep into the Chelsea fanbase regarding Potter, whose side currently sit 10th in the Premier League table. The Blues simply need results quickly to ease the pressure.

The Chelsea Chronicle has predicted the starting line-up Potter will select to face Fulham in tonight’s league game at Craven Cottage.
