Graham Potter said the same thing after his first & last Chelsea games - yes, it's those words

Graham Potter is not someone who will give you soundbites like Jose Mourinho or Antonio Conte - and it's not always a bad thing.

However, there is one phrase that will be forever associated with his shortlived Chelsea tenure: 'The boys gave everything.'

In fact, he said these words both after his first and his last game in charge of the Blues.

"We're disappointed with the result," Potter said after Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Salzburg back on September 14, 2022.

"I thought the boys gave everything. We scored a good goal, but lost a bit in the second half but their goalkeeper has made some good saves.

"It is what it is, we have to dust ourselves down. Personality and application was good, we will get better."

Compare that to his words after the 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa last weekend: "The boys gave everything in the game, they absolutely did.

"If you look at the stats from the game, apart from the most important one, there's a lot that says we did well. But when you look at the two boxes, that's where we came too short.

"I thought the team game everything, the intention was there."
