Coach Graham Potter could not help Chelsea club win points against Newcastle.
With Chelsea, they are currently ranked 8th after this defeat. And obviously coach Graham Potter had his dissatisfaction about this defeat. He confided after the game: "It is not easy against a team that is playing so well and in high form like Newcastle.
After a smooth first half, Chelsea let Newcastle dominate in the second half, forcing us to make some adjustments. Then they scored and we had to attack.
I think we made too many mistakes to maintain the quality of our attacks and put pressure on the opponent. I think Chelsea had some chances, but the team made too many mistakes. There were gaps but the team delivered sloppy passes that normally wouldn't happen.
Once again, praise must be given to Newcastle, they have played well and are in a good moment. It's one of the best defensive teams in the Premier League. This is a really tough game for us. You can see the difference between the schedule of a team that does not have to play midweek and the schedule of Chelsea."

With the result just received at St James' Park, this is also the fifth defeat of Chelsea club this season. This is also the third consecutive defeat of the Blues under coach Graham Potter. A few days earlier, they had lost at home to Arsenal in the 15th round of the NHA, as well as being defeated by Man City in the English League Cup. More broadly, Chelsea also let Brighton beat 4-1 right in the 14th round at the end of last month.
Talking about this poor performance, the military leader born in 1975 said: "It's not good not to get good results. It's as simple as that, but I have to see why I let that happen. It's not that simple at all.
We've been through a lot of games. The absence of key players due to injury made the team not have stability. Chelsea has just gone through a very challenging period. The team has just faced 4 of the best teams in the Premier League. Many times we cannot accept failure but we have to face it and try to move on.
Some players will return to play in the near future. The team needs time to improve in order to be ready for the rest of the season. There's been a lot of lessons learned over the past eight weeks, and we're going to have to make the best of it."
