JAKARTA - Chelsea coach Graham Potter highlighted the sharpness of his team's front line when they drew 1-1 against Manchester United in Week 13 of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge Stadium, London, Saturday.
Quoted from the club's official website on Sunday, Potter explained that Chelsea's front line should be able to perform better than what they showed in this match.
Even so, his overall team was able to perform quite well when playing in an intense match and facing a team that had good quality.
"We're almost there but don't have the last part. It's an area as a team where we can do better, in terms of an attacking game for us," Potter explained, quoted by Antara, Sunday.
"But it was an intense and difficult match against the team at a good time. Everyone had a schedule they had so it wasn't right away, but it was something we could improve on. But the enthusiasm, togetherness, effort, personality of the players, everything was amazing," he continued.
Regarding the course of the match, the England coach explained that Manchester United was better than his team in the first 20 minutes and forced the Blues to play more defensively.
Potter added that this made her need to make a little adjustment to the team's game and put some other players into midfield in order to put pressure on Manchester United.
"The feeling of the game is that we are a little invaded in midfield, we need additional players there to create a little more pressure, to stop them from building their attacks and because it makes it more difficult to build on our attacks," Potter said.
"So it's just a feeling I have. It's not an easy decision to make, but the players responded very well and they gave everything," he said.
