Joao Felix's goal against West Ham will win goal of the month because it was their only goal this month

Joao Felix's goal against West Ham will win goal of the month because it was their only goal this month

Felix at least has something to cheer after a very tough February for Graham Potter's team, when they scored only one goal.

Chelsea's Goal of the Month competition for Graham Potter's team will be a very short process, with Joao Felix scoring their only goal of February.

Potter must increasingly be expecting the phone call from the owner that pretty much every Chelsea manager gets at some point or another.

Under Roman Abramovich there's no way he would have avoided it this long, even though he only moved to Stamford Bridge back in September.

The loss against Tottenham Hotspur was the latest blow to his management, with some reports claiming he has just two games to save his job.

It's not too difficult to understand why, having spent a literal mountain of cash on new signings in the January transfer window, the team didn't win a single game this month.

Across the Premier League and Champions League they were left with a record of played five, won zero, drawn two and lost three, leaving them close to elimination in Europe and nearer the bottom of the league than fourth place.

And it's not just the results that are depressing reading, but the score lines themselves, with the Blues failing to test many of the goalkeepers they've come up against.

Felix's strike against West Ham United, in a 1-1 draw, is in fact the only time Potter's men have got on the scoresheet through the whole month.

Aside from that goal, the rest of the squad failed to score against Fulham, Borussia Dortmund, bottom of the league Southampton and Spurs.

It is the one good thing for Felix since he moved to west London from Atletico Madrid in January, on a loan until the summer, having failed to win a single game in his time so far.

The only win they did pick up in that time was against Crystal Palace, when the forward was suspended having been sent off in his club debut.

One thing that could save the club from the most depressing Goal of the Month competition ever, is the women's team, who are doing well once again this season.

Emma Hayes' side managed to score 12 goals in the past four weeks, including seven against the Hammers in the Conti Cup semi-final.

Perhaps Potter needs to give her a call about how to get his own team scoring goals, with huge games against Leeds United and the return leg against Dortmund coming up, he may soon find himself out of a job.
