Graham Potter was met with an incredible response from Chelsea fans in the street after the Blues’ 2-1 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage on Thursday.
Chelsea have lost three consecutive matches under Potter and are without a win since their 2-0 victory over Bournemouth in late December.
Potter, who replaced Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea, has struggled to build momentum for the Blues and his side are now 10 points outside of the top four.
The Blues boss has faced mounting pressure after Chelsea’s American owner, Todd Boehly, opened the club’s war chest for a spending spree on new transfers.

Willian opened the scoring against former club Chelsea in the first half before Kalidou Koulibaly cancelled out the opener early in the second half.
However, Carlos Vinicius condemned Potter’s Chelsea side to a third defeat in a row and secured all three points for Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Following Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat on the night, footage emerged on social media of Chelsea fans showing unwavering support to Potter while he was escorted to his car.
Fans told the under-fire Chelsea manager they still believed in him, with one fan urging Potter to change the squad as “they are the problem.”

“Tears in my eyes, our fans are actually seeing the light,” one Twitter user wrote.
Another fan added: “At least our fans see part of the problem is the squad.”
Someone else commented: “Judge him when he has a full or even acceptable squad to pick from. Glad I’ve seen this video.”
“This is so refreshing to see,” one fan tweeted.
While a fifth said: “Glad they’re backing him.”
Chelsea, who are 10th in the Premier League table, will return to Premier League action against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
